There are NIH studies about this antioxidant . One of them suggest to take in conjunction with Alpha Lipoic Acid that singularly they have no benefit but together they work. Supplements usually work in conjunction with each other. I hope you are taking more than just this one but a good range of support vits and minerals. A good nutrition book will explain the importance of balance and the need for supplementation with body stresses like Parkinson's. ----- Original Message ----- From: kbachn <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2005 9:56 AM Subject: question > Hello all, > > Does anyone have knowledge of the effects of taking Acetyl-L-Carnitine? can it have a negative effects? I'm a young onset case, and througfh some research discovered that ALC may help and had been taking it for 6 months or so on and off. My parkinson symptoms have been getting worse since my dianosis about a year ago, just wondering if it's a natural progression or if it's because of the ALC (and ginseng) that i've been taking. > > Any insight would be much appreciated. > > Thank You and Regards, Ken Nguyen (Ottawa - Canada) > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
