Michael, I'm not really qualified to say whether your father would have any problems taking non-orthodox remedies/supplements with his PD meds; even for myself. What I can say is find a good Homeopath, one that has been involved with PWP's; or has a good understanding of PD. As for the PD Meds, what I will say is that your father should discuss with his GP and/or Neurologist taking the lowest dose possible for the maximum benefit in order to extend their finite life cycle as far as possible - I hope this makes sense.
