IMPORTANT NOTE: Nothing in this message is medical advice, nor is =
anything to be taken as being medical advice.  Before changing your =
medication, diet or other factor relevant to your treatment, you should =
consult your physician.

I came across the following information in the Reader's Digest Medical =
Question and Answer Book, 1989 edition, while I was looking up something =
totally unrelated to PD.  It refers to MAOI (MonoAmine Oxidase =
Inhibitor).  One of the selective MAO-B inhibitors, in use for PD, is =
selegiline (Alzene; Carbex; Deprenyl; Eldeprine; Eldepryl; Jumex; =
Movergan; Plurimen).

"... avoid all foods containing tyramine, which  is related to =
adrenaline and  has similar though milder actions.  Such foods include =
liver, smoked sausage and similar cold cuts, sardines, anchovies, =
pickled herring, all cheeses except cream and cottage, yoghurt, =
chocolates, and certain ripe fruits such as bananas and avocados.... =
also refrain from drinking beer and wine."

If you are on selegeline, and are concerned about this, I urge you to =
talk it over with the physician treating your PD.

Frankly, I am thinking of giving up selegeline!  What, life without =
wine, cheese and chockies?  Forget it! <grin>
