Ann:
I have had PD now for about two years. Early on, I started with
antioxidants including most of the ones that you list. However, I have
found two additional ones that seem to help my symptoms directly: Pycnogenol
(from Your Life) and Cell Guard (from Biotecs). The Cell Guard seems to
reduce my overall joint stiffness. The Pycnogenol seems to make me feel
better all around. I tried changing brands from Your Life and noticed a big
difference in the amount of tremors and movement dysfunction.
Give it a try. People tell me I have a great imagination.
