Anyone know anything about this? "Parkinson's symptoms may be reduced by eliminating red meat and taking large does of vitamin B-2 (riboflavin), we hear from Cicero Galli Coimbra, M.D., Ph.D. Background: Researchers hypothesized that excessive red-meat consumption may trigger Parkinson's in patients who absorb riboflavin poorly. Riboflavin deficiency may be linked to the brain degeneration found in Parkinson's. New finding: Nineteen advanced Parkinson's patients were put on a no-red meat diet and given 30 mg of B-2 every eight hours in addition to their usual medications. Their riboflavin levels, which were low despite adequate dietary intake, normalized after one month. After six months on the regimen, the average motor capacity increased from 44% to 71%."
