I'm putting the finishing touches on converting a study by P.A. Kempster, M.D. and M.L. Wahlqvist, M.D. on Dietary Factors in the Management of Parkinson's Disease. This study is comprehensive and has answers for most who are experiencing fluctuations in their medication's performance. Kempster and Wahlqvist also include research that they have done on Vicia faba beans and pods as natural levodopa in the human diet. Vicia faba can be grown in many parts of the world, in the cooler climates. Many Mediterranen delis have sources of fresh, canned and dried Vicia faba. They probably have some good recipes also. Several varieties are grown in Egypt and other parts of the Med. In the U.S. they are grown in California. Vicia faba has about 1/3 less protein than soybeans which are found in many of our prepared products now. I need a little private feedback. I put one study in the archives that had a graphic included at the end of the text. Did anyone look at the graphic? Were the instructions to hard to follow in order to look at the graphic? The reason I am asking, the Kempster and Wahlqvist piece has 4 informative graphs that show by comparison, the motor responses of the subjects who ate the beans and those to took 25/100 c/l. The comparisons are of hand tapping, walking time, dyskinesias, and L-dopa blood serum levels, all over a 5 hour period. For those who didn't receive the post that had the graphic in it, send mail to [log in to unmask] In the body of the message put only: //DBlook JOB Echo=No Database Search DD=Rules //Rules DD * select * in parkinsn print all 2563 Just follow the instructions at the top of that message. Look at the graphic and print the graphic. Give me feedback at either address below. ***************************************************************** NEWS I received email today from a weaver mutant mouse researcher on discoveries that are to be published this year. This researcher would like to network by email with other researchers studying the WMM. If they can spare some animals, they may do a nutritional study on Vica faba. The weaver mutant mouse is genetically inclined to naturally develop Parkinson's. With this predisposition, it is hard to build up a herd, men you know what I mean<g>.
