I regard this as money well spent as I am researching whether NADH improves my condition . Should it prove to be the case I shall be seeking the cheapest supplier of NADH . I regard NADH as one of the most promising " snake oils " for two reasons . 1) The Birkmayer study . 2) The theopretical basis , namely that NADH boosts the energy levels of the cells and this could change/affect the neurone firing p[attern in the brain . I my case there could be a familial mitochondria abnormality producing a deficient energy level . My mother has memory problems ( Alzheimer's ) . I am therefore researching tyhis possibility . If NADH improves my condition then I will see what is the response to my mother's . There seems to me to be a bit of bickering on this list ast to whether NADH works or not . The power of this list could be shown if someone conducted a survey . As I am new to this list I feel maybe I am not the best person for the job , but if no one else wants to do it I am quite willing to conduct this survey . I got my tabs in the post yesterday and started my experiment today . With my tabs I got some literature about the beneficial effects of NADH on PD . It quoted the Birkmayer report . But it was far more upbeat than the report I read . Maybe there are more than one report/ survey? If I remember correctly the oral group of his survey were only on 5 mg of NADH every other day and the maximum beneficial effect was 60% after two weeks . ( This compares very well with a beneficial effect of Requip which if I remember correctly was 20% ) . I personaly welcome any source on the internet as I live in rural NE Scotland and the medical provision is terrible ( that is another very long story ) . I will be writing again in a few weeks saying how NADH has affected my PD . condition . > ([log in to unmask]) > > peace Alastair ( [log in to unmask] )
