-->Hi, --> -->I'd like to make an entry on behalf of my father-in-law who was diagnosed as -->having PD a few years ago. -->He writes :" --> -->DIET -->---- -->Dairy Products - I have been advised to eliminate all cows milk products from -->my diet. Since doing this I have found that my medication is longer lasting -->and more effective. There would appear to be less blocking of the medication. I have found that I feel much better as well when dairy is eliminated. I'm not sure if it's a combination of other things as well, but it seems to contribute to a general feeling that the medication lasts longer. -->PROTEIN -->------- -->I have successfully avoided taking much protein in the morning and midday. -->Confining my protein intake to the evening allows my medication to function -->more effectively. " Still not sure about ' protein and me' but I'm working on it. Lynda [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] ---
