Subject: Re: Vitamin C
I'd like to know where your neuro got
his info on vitamin C. To the best of my knowledge vitamin C is an
anti-oxidant which supposedly helps rid the body of free radicals.
Although I don't think there is any concrete proof that vitamin C prevents or
slows the progression of PD, my mother-in-law swears by it as a treatment for
all ailments.

Went to the neurologist today and in our discussion he asked me what
vitamins I was taking. Upon giving him my list which include vitamin C, I
got a shock by his response that "vitamin C. causes Parkinson to progress at
a faster rate when taking it". He subscribes to a multiple vitamin and
that is all. By his thinking I have been wrongly consuming the vitamin for
years. I'm curious if this theory shocks other PWP. I hesitate
to quit taking it. Any feedback would be appreciated
