Parkinsons Treatments

Parkinsons Treatments

  Traditional Parkinsons Treatments 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 Parkinsons Treatments 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 Parkinsons Treatments 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.

  Parkinsons Treatments should not be with only levodopa with our without carbidopa.  Parkinsons Treatments 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 Disease due to glutathione depletion which is needed to prevent further neurotoxic.
