Re: Treating Parkinson's through Nutrition

[Schaaf Angus / Meadow Creek Ranch <sangusr@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Kathrynne,
 Your broad sweeping generalites about Nutrition and PD could have been
qualified with "usually" or someother adverb. You come across as if
nutrition is such a minor part of health, although this might not have been
your intent. A good nutritional program can do wonders with manageing PD,
even without PD meds. The neurologist of course should be involved but
sometimes doctors are the last ones to suggest that a .good diet and
supplements may help. We all react so differently to PD treatments , why not
to the nutritionaly route. It can be very successful.
After years of PD misery , I am almost symptom free by using above average
nutrition as my alturnative treatment for PD.   Rob
