This past year, I began following Dr. Perlmutter's suggested use of "Brain Sustain," Coenzyme Q10, & NADH. However, instead of glutathione by injection, I have been using SAMe, which some research literature has indicated may contribute to the formation of dopamine and serotonin and may help maintain desirable levels of glutathione. My Dr's are aware of me doing this and do not see it causing any problems with my prescribed meds for PD. I think that I can safely say that my Dr's think that Dr. Perlmutter has an interesting theory. But their atitude probably is that in my case there is no harm and it's up to me to decide if there is any benefit. I do not know how the individual PWP can determine with certainty whether or not Dr. Perlmutter's theory is correct. I would like to see more research about it. But there probably is little profit to be made by corporate medicine in this area. However, since the cost to me is affordable, there may be great benefit, and it's a lot less intrusive than brain surgery, I'll continue my experiment.

I was diagnosed with pd just this year. I would like to communicate with anyone who has experience with Dr. Permutter's regime including "Brain Sustain" and/or intervenous glutathione. Thanks, Sue D. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
