Parkinson's Disease
Traditional
treatment of
Parkinson's Disease
in medicine involves
the use of the amino
acid levodopa with
carbidopa and dopamine
agonists. Problems include
drugs that quit
working and side
effects. Typically,
symptoms gradually
gets worse over
time. In 2001
NeuroResearch
Clinics realized
that virtually all the problems associated
with standard Parkinson's Disease
treatment stemmed from
improper use of the
levodopa and carbidopa.
These problems can
be categorized into
four areas:
-
levodopa
side effects due to being
improperly
balanced with
serotonin
nutrients.
-
Depletion
of serotonin by
levodopa,
during
treatment. When
serotonin levels
drop low enough
the levodopa quits
working and
symptoms
associated with serotonin depletion
develop.
-
Depletion of the
sulfur amino acids by
levodopa.
This leads to
depletion of
glutathione
causing more
brain damage from
neurotoxins, making the
Parkinson's Disease
worse. Depletion of
sulfur amino acids
causes depletion of
adrenaline causing
the
patient to move very
slow.
-
Carbidopa depletes serotonin
and
dopamine
peripherally causing
numerous side effects.
Treatment of
Parkinson's Disease
should not be with only
levodopa.
Parkinson's Disease
treatment should be
with
properly balanced
levodopa, 5-HTP,
tyrosine, cysteine
guided by neurotransmitter testing as indicted. Use of of
this combination of
nutrient controls
the side effect of
nausea associated
with levodopa and
prevents the
depletion of
serotonin and
glutathione in
treatment. It also helps
prevent progression
of Parkinson's
Disease due to
glutathione
depletion which is
needed to prevent
further neurotoxic.

Highlights. |
|
Parkinson's
Disease
- levodopa needs
to be given with properly balanced 5-HTP
with neurotransmitter testing as indicated
to prevent serotonin depletion.
- When
serotonin becomes depleted enough by
levodopa
it will no longer work or control symptoms.
- levodopa side
effects can be controlled by giving properly
balanced 5-HTP with neurotransmitter testing
as indicated.
- Depletion of
sulfur amino acids leads to depletion of
glutathione, the most powerful naturally
occurring detoxification chemical in the
body.
- The leading
cause of Parkinson's Disease
is to brain damage from neurotoxic
chemicals. To prevent this proper levels of
sulfur amino acids need to be given during.
- Carbidopa
used with levodopa to prevent levodopa side
effects causes a large number of side
effects and problems during treatment.
