Hi Liz.... I guess this is just another problem that's similar to many that we PWPs see as potentially beneficial which turns out to disappoint us for one reason or another. At least the collagen worked well for me a coupla-three times..... I'm finding - as I move along life's pathway - (that's the SLOW lane for most of us Parkies <rueful grin> that I've become MORE demanding but end up expecting LESS The thing is that I keep searching and searching when I find myself accepting less because eventually I feel cheated, frustrated, and full of anger at this damnable disease. That has inspired me to continue researching for the exact product or service I need, but OH what a lotta energy and time is expended in trying to find what is needed. I have indeed heard about being able to use one's own natural collagen (prolly refine it from your body fat or something like that). In fact I've discussed this with UCLA's Dr. Gerald Berke. HE seems to feel that bovine collagen works just as well as using one's own collagen, and said he saw no reason to bother using one's own. Don't quote me on this tho, 'cause I'm merely parroting back at ya what Dr. B. said... and he didn't expand on the topic at all.
