More recommendations

PD is considered to be degenerative and is often facilitated by the accumulation of toxins in the body. The natural Parkinson’s disease treatment part 3 highly recommends the following diet and nutrition that has detoxifying properties. If you must take the drug levodopa, consume the following foods in moderation only: bananas, beef, fish, liver, oatmeal, peanuts, potatoes, and whole grains. These foods contain vitamin B6, which interferes with the drugs potency.  Do not take supplemental vitamin B6 as it counteracts the drugs therapeutic effects (be careful with multivitamin supplements). Also, because some of the amino acids contained in food proteins can prevent this drug from reaching the brain where it is needed, eat protein foods only in the evening and not at the same time as the drug is taken. Once on medication, discuss with your physician any dietary change you plan to make, as dosage adjustment may be needed.  If your work or a hobby exposes you to chemicals or metals such as lead or aluminum, always wear protective clothing, including gloves and a face mask.

Some people with Parkinson’s disease have been found to have high levels of lead in their brains. Chelation therapy and the highly recommended eBook that deals with ingested oxygen therapy (the cure within one minute) are so effective in removing lead from the body. Because there are no definitive tests for Parkinson’s disease, people with hypoglycemia are sometimes misdiagnosed as having the condition.

Fasting, Chelation, and ingested oxygen therapy (The cure within one minute) are both beneficial and may help to halt the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Physical therapy, including active and passive range of motion exercises, plus daily moderate exercise like walking, can help to maintain normal muscle tone and function. “Green drinks” may significantly reduce symptoms. Octocosanol, a substance found in wheat germ oil, has been shown to have beneficial effects on neuron membranes, and may make it possible to reduce the dosage of levodopa required.

For further information and for an in-depth study of the highly recommended natural or alternative treatment Obtained your copy of “The Cure within One Minute” now is the right time for you to do so. Go and click the link now for final assessment and you will discover that this is one the best Natural Parkinson’s disease Treatment.

John H asked:


I am in this situation! I am unsure of what the implications of this are as the scan shows no degeneration of the dopamine transport system, which would indicate Parkinsons. Has anyone been in this situation and can advise?

Antioxidants Are A Free-Radical Killer

November 01, 2009 By: admin Category: parkinsons Comments Off

Sonny Julius asked:


We have known for a long time now that by reducing free radicals, antioxidants can help prevent cancer, but a recent study at John Hopkins published recently in “Science” shows how antioxidants may be doing even more.

What’s been found is antioxidants are interfering with the growth of cancers that are already established.  Potentially they are even reversing them once established, by knocking out communication signals between cancer cells that encourage cells to grow and divide.

Those communication signals out to be free radicals, which cancer cells produce in abundance.  Runaway cell division was actually slowed when cancer cells were introduced to the antioxidant N-Acetye-L-cysteine under experimental conditions.

This now represents a mechanism that can allow a simple antioxidant to slow down or reverse a cancer that is already in peace.

Kackabal Ironi cautiously summarizes his research by saying “Control of signaling pathways involving antioxidants may explain why some antioxidants appear to prevent development of certain cancers.”

There are plenty of sources of antioxidants in a good diet.  Fruits and vegetables are packed with powerful antioxidants that can lower your risk of heart disease, cancer; diabetes-related damage and even slow down the body’s natural aging process.  That brings me to the familiar saying “An apple a day can keep the doctor away.”

So you may ask what exactly are antioxidant and why do we need them?  Antioxidants are nature’s way of fighting off potentially dangerous molecules in the body.

Such molecules come in the form of synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, plastics, and chlorine, by products and are called free radicals.

Every day tens of thousands or fill radicals are generated within the body, causing cell damage that can lead to chronic and degenerative diseases if left unchecked.

The body sometimes creates its own free radicals to destroy viruses or bacteria.  To balance out these unruly molecules, the body also creates antioxidants, which have the sole purpose of neutralizing free radicals.

The body is only designed to create a certain amount of antioxidants on its own. However, as we are faced with an ever-growing number of environmental toxins, the body is less capable of fighting the unwanted harmful invaders.

Now here is where you personally come in.  You need to make sure you get a daily input of fruits and vegetables in your body.  That way you can help wage war against those free radicals.

Without the necessary intake of healthy fruits and vegetables, free radicals can spread and eventually lead to stroke, heart attack, arthritis, vision problems, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and various types of cancers.

The benefits of getting your daily dose of fruits and vegetables are numerous.  The antioxidant Vitamin E, is wonderful your heart, vitamin E has the ability to “mop up” the LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in you arteries, allowing for the necessary elasticity and blood pressure levels to keep your heart pumping safely.

Antioxidants can also protect you against diabetes related damage.  Free radicals thrive in the altered metabolic states of diabetics.  But with the necessary antioxidants that fruits and vegetables can provide, free radicals can be neutralized, protecting your kidneys, blood vessels, eyes and heart from harmful damage.

Here’s some more news about antioxidants.  They slow the effects of aging.  Free radicals damage the cells within our body that are vital to a youthful appearance and good health.

Eating fruits and vegetables can slow down the loss of muscle elasticity that leads to wrinkles, boosts your immunity making you less susceptible to illness, and put breaks on memory failure, as free radicals injure the brain cells necessary for retaining information.

Antioxidants are available in supplement form but are most powerful when found in whole foods.  It’s best to combine leafy vegetables, like spinach and collard greens with a good variety of colored fruits such as mangos, oranges and cantaloupe.

And last recommendation is it’s best to buy the organic stores instead of your local grocery store.  The produce available inmost stores no longer contains the level of nutrients that it did 100 years ago.

Because of pesticides and the diminished minerals levels in soils used today, eating non-organic produce will not provide you with the antioxidants or vitamins and minerals that you body needs.

Sounds like a smart thing to do. What do you think?
