THis report is after five days of use: I am reaping enormous UNEXPECTED benefits from NADH. I am trying 15.0 ( 3 x 5.0) mg/day. I take the three doses: early A.M. , late A.M., and late afternoon. My Sinemet daily dosage has dropped from 1300 mg. to about 1000 mg. My Eldepryl daily dosage has dropped from 10.0 to 5.0 mg/day. I feel MUCH better. Less rigidity, better movement, able to shower and dress unassisted for the first time in 18 months!! I also am experiencing: -less hypothermia -fewer leg cramps and toe curls -less painful off-times. -total off-time is now 1.5 hours/day instead of 4 hours/day. I really believe that NADH ought to be considered a TOP PRIORITY for research, based on my initial five days trial of it. Dr. Birkmayer asked me to include: 50 mg. of zinc in the evening, 200 mcg. of selenium in the A.M., and 1000 mg. of vitamin C, in my daily routine. I am following this advice, and am adding 400 IU of Vit. E. If NADH helps me so much, after years of extreme difficulty, I truly think everyon ought to consider it. Imagine what extra energy and less off-time would do for our brave PWP's in the halls of Washington, who need every ounce of s trength to do the work to WIN PASSAGE OF THE UDALL BILL. I get NADH from Menuco Corp of New York, , tel 1-800-636-8261. Their brand name for it is "Enada." It comes in a bright orange box .
