SNIP Hi Frans & All, I've been off list for 5 or 6 days and have several hundred messages to scan but this statement *grabbed* me.... I've speculated a little along this line too. I know my PD & meds react much better to Borscht for lunch than they do to almost any sandwich... I know some things tend to block the effects of our meds (excess protein in a Tuna Melt for instance) but does the Borscht enhance the way my meds work? I'm referring to the vegetarian Borscht which is primarily made of cabbage and root vegetables, beets, carrots, parsnips, with onion, garlic and dillweed for flavor and a few peas to keep it interesting... Does the overall number of PWP per 100,000 vary substantially based on the prevailing *diet* of the population in certain geographical areas? North as opposed to South? American as opposed to European? You may think I'm jesting, but I'm not. I fully subscribe to a theory that malnutrition may contribute substantially to brain related disorders. I'd like to know what others think of this one.... Kathrynne? Your opinion, please... All the best everyone ........... murray PS: I have no financial interest in the Borscht cartel... Now I'm jesting... [log in to unmask]
