My father has Parkinson disease for 4 years.
(He has diabetes too)
Recently, the situation deteriorates so quick and the medication
does not work as good as before.
Yesterday he can't even move at all which never happened before.
I am wondering if Parkinson runs in your family and do you know
any alternative treatment.
Charlie

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Vitamin C and lecithin supplements are easy
to find and try.
I will ask my father to try it.
Thanks again.

My grandmother had parkinson but I really don't know what if any meds she was on. I know she was diagnosed in her late 30's and lived to the ripe old age of 93.

Charlie My dad has Parkinsons he uses a ketogenic diet from this site www.healingnaturallybybee.comKetosis raises GABA and improves levels of glutathione New studies are shwoing that folk with Parkinsons are lacking in both GABA and glutathione If your dad cannot do ketosis a herb that raises GABA is Valerien and to improve glutathione level folk sometimes use coffee enema Last but not least, but this is expensive. A new medical food called AXONA, Look on Youtube AXONA Alzheimers, This new medical food raises ketones in the brain and has some success for folk with Parkinsons. But it is expensive My dad has opted for the diet, it is cheaper and does work. I too am on the diet and do exceptionally well on it Hope this is helpful Joanne
My name is Joanne and I am about to go for tests for AS. Any advice would be much appreciated

I can see Ritalin being a good med, but I have never heard of it being prescribed for parkinsons. I will look into this. Do you know of any side effects? Is it OK for blood pressure?
Kindest regards
Joanne
