Thanks for the response. I wasn't sure if that first post would go through or not. Could you tell me if the three citations came through in useable form? My current prescription meds: Sinemet CR 25/100 :(5x); Deprynyl 5 mg (1x); Requip 4 mg (6x) OTC: Mucuna pruriens extrcact yielding about 100 mg ldopa (1x) Alpha Lipoc Acid 400 -800 mg Acetyl- L- Carnitine:: 2 g L- Carnosine: 1 g Multi, B-complex, B12 Current Anti-HP Program: In a more or less random order to keep the Bug off balance: Turmeric; Ginger; Honey; Garlic; N-Acetyl-Cysteine; Buttermilk; Broccoli sprouts; Parsley; Resveratrol; Iodine; Green tea As to the Cure, I am convinced that it is already here but that it is something that has low profit potential and thus has no champion. More specifically, I am convinced that the core problem is a sensitivity to the endotoxin lipopolysaccharides (LPS) found in Gram negative bacteria such as H pylori. This reaction triggers an inflammatory response in the brain that awakens the microglia and the beginning of a "slow burn" in the substantia nigra. If so, then anti-inflammatories are key to stopping the cycle and allowing healing to begin. I don't want to be the Newbie with the big mouth, so I;ll stop there for now. :-) Jerry Amussen wrote: > Rick, > I too am a parkie, diagnosed about 41/2 yrs ago.
