I would like to introduce myself. My name is Max, 53 years old or young, I was diagnosed with PD back in March 2001. I had a minimal exposure to PD meds back then , just long enough (one month on sinemet) to see an improvement and convinced me that I have PD. Whatever PD is. I started taking lots of vitamins, antioxidants, eating better, exercising the best I can, meditating, acupuncture, Ti- Chi, tried PDrecovery, Chi-Gong, visualizing techniques, etc. etc. I'm sure it all helped, but eventually I needed a walker (last winter) and could barely take care of myself. By February of 2006, I was looking into getting a wheelchair. I couldn't take it any longer, so I regrettably broke down and decided to take Sinemet. In about a week, sinemet started to work. And in about a month, I was a completely different person. I could walk, got my balance back, started to get back my normal weight and I could even ride my mountain bike again. But in only 6 months of taking sinemet, I found it was taking longer and longer to kick in, not lasting as long and sometimes it wouldn't kick in at all. Sometimes I would take 1 1/2 tablets of Sinemet CR 200/50, at a time, with no effect at all. Talk about being scared all over again. I knew getting on sinemet would be a limited ride, but I never thought it could be this short. When I heard about "Mucuna Pruriens" (Zandopa), a natural herb from India, a couple of months ago, I got very interested. For parkinson's disease Zandopa is a natural source of dopamine with no side effects. I'm now gradually replacing my use of Sinemet with Zandopa. I find it very effective, kicks in quicker (under 1/2 hour) and lasts longer (sometimes up to 4 hours). But I still needed to add a little sinemet (now only taking one Sinemet CR 200/50 a day) to make the mucuna most effective. It needs the carbidopa to help it get to the brain more effectively. I break up the one sinemet into thirds and take it with one level tbsp of Zandopa. I feel like this "Mununa" (Zandopa) is REALLY HELPING me a lot. I take it three times a day and can pretty well function normally, not bad considering that I was ready for a wheelchair a year ago. When the herbs wear off, my PD symptoms still comes back, but not nearly as bad as before. I'm pretty excited about Ayurvedic medicines. I know Ayurvedic medicine is a lot more than just taking mucuna. I would like to share my experiences and learn from others who is willing to share theirs.
