Moneesha thank you. I don't take Sinemet or any PD meds so I think I will try it. Sinemet helped on first dose but never again. when I tried it again (many times) I got weird abdominal twitches and no symptom relief. 7 years ago I had bilateral DBSs which stopped tremors. I am getting desperate with poor balance, bradykinesia, speech difficulty, etc. thanks again -------------------------------------------------- From: "Moneesha Sharma" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 11:07 PM To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: turmeric and mucuna pruriens/Moneesha > Ray, the turmeric does not dissolve.
