I'm a 56 yr old male who was misdiagnosed with Familiar Tremor in Nov. of 2000. In March of 2005 was officially diagnosed with P.D. after a couple of PET Scans done in NY. I've been practicing Transcendental Meditation twice daily for more than 30 yrs and this helps me in more ways than just the physical... I take Azilect 1 mg/daily, been taking it for 2 1/2 yrs, prior to this I was taking Selegiline for 1 yr. I also have been taking Requip 3 mg x 3/daily for the last 7 months. Requip/Ropinirole makes me feel, among other things, nauseated. I take 2 tbs of organic Red Wheat Bran for constipation, soaked in a glass of water the night before and washed before taking it in my morning cereal. I walk about 2-3 x wk, drink at least 8 glasses of water p/day, do some yoga daily, bike 2 x wk and Bow Flex 2 x wk. I was introduced to MaxGXL (www.maxgxl.com/133282) about 5 months ago by a friend and, even though my doctor does not believe this supplement does anything, everyone around me tells me the contrary. Friends who had not seen or talked to me since last Christmas confirm what I feel and have experienced, have regained the strength of my voice, more focused, much improved memory, I'd say by about 40-60%, my movements and facial expressions are more relaxed. I sleep much better, I don't wake up at night to go to the bathroom and my dreams are vivid; I remember most of them in detail. This is a formula patented by Max Int'l and Robert H. Keller, MD, an Oncologist, Hematologist, Immunologist with a 23 pages long resume. This supplement increases the Glutathione levels in the cells by up to 292%, causing them to increase their levels of energy (ATP) and thus, their ability to quench more and more Free Radicals and many other benefits; I can also add this statement, my wife is happier...yeah. I suggest learning all you can about Glutathione and MaxGXL, if you think it is for you, order some and try it, it's made a big difference in my life and I hope it does even more for others. Below a couple of links I found on 2 independant MDs talking about Glutathione and its benefits; the first talks and shows before and after videos on patients with PD. The second, overall info on Glutathione; thorough explanation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDkkzILyZwM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh2PYQBICWs Best wishes, Ernesto Divo, Miami, FL ==============================================================<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh2PYQBICWs> On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 7:56 AM, PATTI ZAPF <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > thank you for this thought. alan has been off his statin for 2 days now > and already noticed less pain in his back. he will start the lichithin and > monitor his readings thru his fp. > > On Feb 26, 2009, at 11:46 AM, Schaaf Angus / Meadow Creek Ranch wrote: > > Statins for high cholesterol have lots of side effects and an easier and in >> my opinion better approach is diet.
