Hi Folks
Well I previously posted that as soon as I finished my
NADH trial I would post it and try and conduct a survey . I would be
very thankful if other people would delete my results/comments
enclosed in brackets ( ) and substitute their own in the form below
and send it to me at [log in to unmask] . If I get more than
10 replies I shall post the results in 2 weeks . Feel free to
add/delete to/from this form . As you can see from my comments I am not
100 % convinced and I certainly have no axe to grind other than get
rid of my PD .
FORM
____________________________________________________
Age ( 53 )
Sex ( M )
Years since PD diagnosis ( 1, 3/4 )
Medication daily
( 5 mg Selegiline 3 X 125 Madopar )
Other supplements and vitamins daily
( DHEA 50 mg , Melatonin 3 mg )
Length of time using NADH ( 2 weeks )
Maximum daily dosage of NADH ( 20 mg )
Estimated increase in energy levels or lack of feeling tired #
( 75 % ) uncertainty * ( 30 % )
Estimated improvement in PD symptoms or reduction of medication #
(30 % ) uncertainty * ( 45 % )
Unusual effects while taking NADH
( I usually have to wait at least 45 minutes before the effect of
the Madopar becomes apparent. My left leg stops dragging while
walking . One day when I took the NADH a few hours before my first
Madopar of the day the leg stopped dragging in less than 30 minutes .
Overall impression of the benefits of taking NADH
( During the 2 weeks of taking NADH I never had to go and sit down
because I was tired . I am therefore reasonably confident of its
energy boosting properties . The benefits to my PD symptoms were less
definate . Since NADH is expensive I shall not be automatically be
continuing its use . In other words I have reservations on its cost
effectiveness . I shall be making further tests using it in
conjunction with CoQ10 and Lipoic acid . )
* certainty is affected by the following considerations 1) the
placebo effect 2) wishful thinking 3) natural variation from day to day
in PD symptoms .
