Hi to all-----
I have an inquiry on behalf of my father who has PD.
My father is currently taking Senemet & Eldepryl. He began taking
several nutrient supplements, namely GABA (gamma-amino butyric acid)
and L-Glutamic acid (amino acid). According to PRESCRIPTION FOR
NUTRITIONAL HEALING by Dr. James Balch and his wife Phyllis, the GABA
functions "as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system by
stabilizing neuron activity", while the L-Glutamic "improves nerve
impulse transmission".
Does anyone have any experience with these? Could these be harmful to
a PD patient taking the above mentioned medicines? Thanks for your
replies, and I realize that this is chit-chat, not medical advice. He
is curious beyond what his doctor knew about it.
