Hello, I am new to this list, my father has Parkinsons, I found this
information, and my father has been taking it for two weeks and has=
=20
had improvement so far in his legs, he is only taking small doses.
 He is having a terrible time with the balls of his feet, I call this
condition Mortons Neuroma, but he insists that it is gout. If he is
off of his feet and has them elevated he has relief, from what I have
been able to research is that gout will not quit hurting if you simpl=
y
stay off of your feet. If someone can help me in this area I would=
=20
appreciate it.  Thank you, Linda

Ps I have more information on this, plus a order form if anyone is in=
terested.

Introducing the World's Only Colloidal NADH.=20


NADH FAQ's, Colloid FAQ's=20

People with Parkinson's disease stop trembling, people with Alzheimer=
's
disease stop forgetting, and everybody else gets a quick pick-me-up f=
rom
fatigue - all with a new natural substance that excites me more than =
any
other discovery in the past decade.=20

Robert C. Atkins, MD, "Dr. Atkins' Health Revelations", Vol. III, Num=
ber 6,
June 1995=20

Dr. Atkins continues,=20

You probably haven't heard of NADH, also called Coenzyme 1, but you w=
ill.
This enzyme is the stored form of energy in every cell in our bodies,=
 and
it's now available - without prescription - as a supplement.=20

NADH is more effective against Parkinson's disease than the standard
treatment, L-dopa. And it's the only promising therapy I see for the
heretofore incurable Alzheimer's. As use and research grow, the first
governmentally sanctioned clinical test in the US is expected to begi=
n later
this year (1995). I'm convinced it will become par for the course in
alleviating depression, fatigue and even minor mental sluggishness.=
=20

Parkinson's Potion?=20

I was already well-informed about NADH when Georg Birkmayer, MD, the =
world's
chief NADH researcher came to the Foundation for the Advancement of
Innovative Medicine symposium in March (1995). But even I was taken a=
back
when Birkmayer, director of the Birkmayer Institute for Parkinson's T=
herapy
in Vienna, played a videotape of three of his patients before and aft=
er
treatment with NADH.=20

If you've ever watch a Parkinson's patient shuffle hesitantly across =
a room
with arms trembling and head wobbling, you'll know what we saw on the=
 tape
before NADH was administered. Several hours after receiving NADH, the=
 same
people were shown getting up with relative ease and walking briskly. =
The
only difference was NADH.=20

Since 1988, Birkmayer and his father, Walter Birkmayer, MD, have used=
 NADH
to treat more than 885 people with Parkinson's disease. Eighty percen=
t of
those people showed moderate to excellent improvements in their disab=
ility
(Acta Neurologica Scandinavia, 1993; 87 [Suppl 146]:32-35). The young=
er
Birkmayer believes that most of the people who didn't improve had adv=
anced
arteriosclerosis that prevented the coenzyme from reaching the brain.=
=20

Far more important than the initial improvements is that those people=
 have
not deteriorated at all in the years since NADH treatments began. Mos=
t of
them have been able to discontinue or decrease their use of L-dopa.=
=20

Alzheimer's Advance=20

Until Birkmayer began giving NADH to a smaller group of people with
Alzheimer's disease, no glimmer of hope existed in the treatment of t=
his
dreaded destroyer of memory. Since Alzheimer's and Parkinson's share =
many
biochemical similarities, including an Alzheimer's-like dementia in t=
he
later stages of Parkinson's, Birkmayer decided to test NADH against
Alzheimer's.=20

All of the 17 people with Alzheimer's who received supplements of the
coenzyme showed significant improvements on standard memory test, acc=
ording
to unpublished test results. And for the past two years, further brai=
n
deterioration has been stopped in its tracks.=20

Free from Fatigue=20

And now for the rest of us. I can't state it any more simply than thi=
s:=20

Supplements of NADH increase your energy levels.=20

Evidence so far suggests that NADH will become a safe, commonly used
supplement to relieve depression, memory lapses, and concentration
difficulties. People with family histories of Alzheimer's might want =
to
consider taking NADH to prevent mental deterioration.=20

The case history below offers a good example of NADH's benefits and
illustrates a guiding principle in its use: The dose is critical to t=
he
result. Based on what's happened with many of my patients who turned =
to NADH
in search of their misplaced energy, people don't start to feel bette=
r until
they take the dosage that's right for their own bodies.=20

If you take too little, you won't notice anything. If you take too mu=
ch,
you'll become hyperactive and won't be able to fall asleep easily. If
someone doesn't derive an energy boost from an initial (serving) ever=
y other
day, I advise him or her to gradually increase the dose until he or s=
he
becomes sleepless or restless, then decrease to a slightly lower amou=
nt.=20

If the lower dose doesn't enhance energy - and there have been few of=
 my
patients for whom it has not - then you can conclude that NADH doesn'=
t work
for you. But the vast majority of my patients have enjoyed a signific=
ant
boost in vigor.=20

Secret to the Success=20

While NADH (short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of th=
e
critical chemical stages in the process by which our bodies create en=
ergy,
this action probably is not the main reason for its remarkable impact=
 on
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. In the brain, it increases the productio=
n of
dopamine, the neurochemical responsible for coordination and control =
of
movements. People with Parkinson's disease have damage to a portion o=
f the
brain's basal ganglia ,which causes a shortage of dopamine.=20

So far, doctors have treated Parkinson's with the drug L-dopa, which =
the
body converts to dopamine. However, direct L-dopa therapy usually bec=
omes
less effective as the years pass, and is often ends up damaging the b=
rain.
So the prognosis for people with Parkinson's has been fairly grim.=
=20

NADH, though, increases the body's own natural production of dopamine=
,
according to Birkmayer and an independent research team at the Univer=
sity of
Paris.=20

In Alzheimer's, the dopamine increase and a boost in another brain ch=
emical,
noradrenaline, combine with NADH's productions of energy to somehow p=
rotect
the neural pathways in the brain, believes Dr. Birkmayer. This stops =
further
brain damage.=20
