Peggy: It concerns me that they recommend quitting taking doses of medicine. I assume that would be under doctor's approval? As you know, PWP should be very careful when cutting back meds. I look forward to hearing what others have to say about this diet.

This reference was given to me by a friend in the UK. Although dated (2002), the information is probably still useful. This article states, "We have demonstrated that, in Parkinson's disease and in Shy Drager Syndrome, dietary interventions of at least one year's duration can result in the regression of the condition in 33% of patients. A lessening in disability has been detected in 42% of patients on the diet for 3 months." That's impressive! Here is the link to more information on this topic: http://www.shydrager.com/html/newsletter_dec_02.html Does anyone know if any more recent studies have been done using this diet, and what are your comments?
