Nilo: My reply is not quite on point but nonetheless relevant to a portion of your text. BE CAREFUL OF THE BALCH BOOK. These people are quacks minimally with regard to their Parkinson's information. Read the PD section more carefully and you'll find that (according to them) you will be dead in 10 years. Wonderful for your state of mind if as was the case with me, it's your first information on PD after initial diagnosis. Keep reading and you'll be advised to limit your protein intake to 3 grams/day an amount which would do grievous injury to your body over time. Follow their advice in this and it won't even take 10 years to expire. Paul H.
