Other names for Fava Beans are Horse Beans and Broad Beans. They are easily available in Wellspring Stores in North Carolina. They taste pretty good but I have not found any significant improvements with them. I am 47 and have had PD for 6 years. I have no family history of PD. I have a strong family history of diabetes. I am from India and am a practicing physician. I am happy to be a part of this lively group. Will keep in touch. From the Carolina's. Fer sail reel cheep spelling checcer!
