Always pragmatic Greg.
I agree about the voodoo part, but,
There is nothing wrong with dietary supplementation.
Keep your doctor informed and don't go overboard.
Vitamins have been investigated in the scientific literature.
Vitamin C, E, CoQ10,and vitamin B when taking Sinemet...
and I'm sure there is more. The discussion is in the archives.
Each one of us is unique and may have varied requirements.
Also, there is a lack of investigation of "herbal" benefit since
herbs are "public domain" and would be hard for a company
to patent for profit. "Organic" foods are becoming more
popular for a number of reasons as people would like to
avoid more high tech chemical insults to their bodies. Many
of us here wonder what the environmental trigger was
for their PD, if any.
It is all just palliative anyway...but, that quality of life is
important too. We have to do the most with what we've
got left.
