In reply to John Cottingham's queries abot fava beans. You will want fresh, younger beans (frozen are fine). Heat up 100 grams (~ 1/4 lb.) in their shells, in a little water, add salt to taste, and eat all of it. Then you drink the water. Yummy! I've tried this for breakfast, i.e. when off, and experienced a noticeable "kick", about equivalent to 1/2 yellow Sinemet (25/100). At the time, i was on about 350 mg./day, i.e. half pills every three hours or so. The fava was good for about a one hour on (same as 1/2 pill) Same dyskinesias, too ! You and yours will delight in the musical effects. . . Since the therapeutic effects did not differ greatly from using medication, I stopped eating Fava. People who believe that a "food" is always preferable to a "pill" will obviously gain at least psychic comfort, if not gastric comfort, from using this stuff. William Berman beans
