Hi Raj, Been following your posts, and the novel way you are combating PD. Would you be so kind and let us know what you are taking now, and how well it's working for you? Thanks in advance, Nick Brightline wrote: >Hi Everybody: > I was aware that curcumin, an active component of the Indian spice & condiment, turmeric, has some protective action against PD and also has certain cancer-killing effect. The consumption of turmeric is thought to be one of the reasons why PD is rare in Indian population. However, I did not know the mechanism of its action. Recently, I ran into some interesting references that claim curcumin inhibits the death of dopaminergic neurons in the MPP+ Parkinson's disease model (Neuropharmacology 2002, 42, 1056-64) by inhibiting an enzyme that triggers cell death or apoptosis. I also found some references to the effect that Omega 3 Fatty Acid (good for the heart too) also acts in a similar fashion > Therefore, I have added these two in my arsenal against the advacement of PD.
