Dear PIEN list, I can only say hear, hear! for the passion and the power in Charlotte's message abouat L-Dopa , which after 32 years, is about all we have. If anyone knows anything about Mucuna pruriens, I would like to know. It is a source of L-dopa; it is known also known as kapi kacchu. Has anyone tried it? I believe it's from India.
