By request I am recopying a question I made in NPF's "Ask the dieitian" concerning the Neurogenic 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 Do you know if any more recent studies have been done using this diet, and what are your comments? Peggy from Tennessee *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** Dear Peggy, For more information on John Grinstein, Ph.D., please see: http://www.jgrinstein.com/ also: www.br13.com I am very skeptical of Mr. Grinstein's work with regard to PD and MSA. I have been hearing of him for a number of years, but to date have not seen any published research by him. He cites the work of others; but there is no mention of any studies of his own. If his approach works so well, I question why he has not published it in medical journals, for the benefit of us all. At this time, I do not have reason to believe that Mr. Grinstein is able to provide the results he promises; however, if any list members have other information, I hope you will post it to the list. I would be happy to be proven wrong.
