Laurie, If eating right and exercising would cure PD, I would have never gotten PD in the first place! My wife and I are total vegetarians (no meat or dairy) and we used to walk about 2 miles a day. She still does, but I've slowed down. If someone does have a change in eating habits and lifestyle their health most definitely would improve.
