I have recently found at least 6 others in my rural area with PD and we are now
connecting to support each other. We have 2 with early onset and 4 elderly
folks.
I am concerned about one of the ladies and her insistance that a gluten-free
diet will 'cure' all our PD symptoms. I cannot find anywhere that this has been
really researched thouroughly. Also, from her description I do not think she
really has PD, even though several members of her family had it. She has not
gone to a doctor for diagnosis, but she describes 'essential' tremor not PD
resting tremor.
Does anyone know anything about the gluten-free diet and a connection with PD??
Thanks
don't forget how to laugh
Marling
PS: visualization works with places you make up also, I have a room equiped
with only those things I want and I go there sometimes when life here is too
much for me.
