I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with fava beans. I h ad heard that they contain dopamine, but that you had to get them specially grown from Israel. On a whim, I bought a box of fresh ones from my local market. I steamed them for about five minutes , then ate four or five (one cup). To my surprise and delight, when my next sinemet came due, I didn't need it. In fact, I was due to need another sinemet at 3:45 I took the bean s on an empty stomach at 3;15 and didin't need anything more until 6:45!! i've only been trying these for three days, but I've cut down my sinemet 40-50% It's amazing! I have had quite bad dyskinesia in the evening , in particular, and was hoping that the fava beans would moderate it - I'm not sure about this. The first two nights it seemed to be better, but I'mn not so sure tonight. Anyway, I think i'm really onto something and I'd like to hear other's experieces. [log in to unmask]
