Mary , I do eat bananas in breakfast , lunch and dinner for long years .I am a healthy person in hearth , lungs etc and my PD since diagnosed in 1995 has progressed very very slowly (almost unnoticeably with a mild tremor in my right hand) . Also as I am a hard soccer player I believes that the bananas help me to avoid cramps that are very common with players of this sport ( it happens sometimes with my co-players but not with me) Best wishes, Mary Jones wrote: > Some of you may remember that I am a nurse running an > interdisciplinary program for PWP's and have enlisted your help > before !!Today a patient and carer have told our speech > pathologist that PWP should not eat bananas.
