Dear Kathrynne, Your broad sweeping generalites about Nutrition and PD could have been qualified with "usually" or someother adverb. You come across as if nutrition is such a minor part of health, although this might not have been your intent. A good nutritional program can do wonders with manageing PD, even without PD meds. The neurologist of course should be involved but sometimes doctors are the last ones to suggest that a .good diet and supplements may help. We all react so differently to PD treatments , why not to the nutritionaly route. It can be very successful. After years of PD misery , I am almost symptom free by using above average nutrition as my alturnative treatment for PD.
