		<description>I experienced the same symptoms as Nancy for about two years.  The nausea and dizziness was debilitating.  My mornings were spent in bed, until the dizziness and vertigo wore off. A trip to the emergency room didn&#039;t resolve the issue but eventually my neurologist suggested that it might be the Mirapex.  Titrating off the Mirapex solved the problem---no more dizziness and no more nausea.  So, it just might be one or more of your medications, as Robert suggested.  .</description>

		<description>I should add that I am continually thing of asking to cut out the mid-day dosage of sinemet. The first time I asked for  a decreased dosage, we had quite a talk, mostly over my getting a lift for improvement. &quot;What do you attribute this to&gt;&quot; he asked with a new brightened look/ Out of my mouth, I found the words spilling, &quot;I do the exercises on parkinsonsrecovery.com&quot; (meaning this exercise in particular).  The nice thing was, there was a female intern observing the appointment that day.</description>

		<description>This is now May. There have been some hard days. I went easy with them, knowing that things area changing. Last weekend in church, I sand some Gregorian chant full voice. The people were quiet and listened. Last Tuesday night, I set out for some errands and felt a new pleasure in doing errands like quality of life had at least half returned.  This morning, I had not finished sleeping at 8 am. I did a muscle test on whether I should go back to bed. the answer was clearly yes. I woke up about an hour later  (taking my sinemet beforehand) feeling very refreshed and with a new amount of feeling and muscle awareness in my left leg. I am beefing up my affirmations, making them more outlandishly positive and questioning my resistance to success.  I&#039;m keeping up yoga and cranio-sacral therapy. I had a bout with dehydration and had to be hospitalized. This happened before, but it was instructive. I have come very far since January. I now have hope of catching up on much neglected work. I recommend this exercise to those who can&#039;t seem to get going on recovery. It was my missing piece. You have to have  your subconscious expecting you to get better.</description>

		<description>My research certainly reveals that yes, there are a wide variety of natural approaches that people with symptoms of Parkinson&#039;s have found to be useful. The natural state of the body is health and wellness, so the challenge is to figure out what is out of balance and then give the body what is missing or take away what is troublesome. In some cases, it is a question of ingesting food and/or toxins that are creating neurological havoc. If the exposure is reduced, the person will feel better.

The true challenge involves the reality that everyone&#039;s body is really different. I may react favorably to eating blueberries - you have have an allergic reaction.  I think we all have to become intimately acquainted with what our body needs and not assume that what is working for you will necessarily work for me. 

As for natural methods of enhancing dopamine - Yes again. There are many. I just posted several answers to questions about fava beans on the Parkinsons Recovery Fava Bean Blog (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.favabeans.parkinsonsrecovery.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.favabeans.parkinsonsrecovery.com&lt;/a&gt;). Again, this is only one possibility that is clearly helping some people tremendously.

When I started researching Parkinsons six years ago, I had no idea that so many natural therapies and approaches would be revealed that are helping people in one way or another. My research has also revealed that dopamine is actually only a piece of the puzzle. My research reveals that for many people with a diagnosis of Parkinson&#039;s Disease, the cause has nothing to do with a dopamine deficiency. It may well be access to dopamine is the issue - or the problem may involve a wide variety of other possible causal factors or interrupted causal pathways.

		<description>There are many articles that praise natural remedies, such as poulrtry, to help boost natural dopamine in the body.  Also on the list are berries and oats in different articles.  What is your experience with the natural realm for relief and recovery?</description>

		<description>I live in the West Indies on a small island. I have been taking a small amount of pure ground mucuna pruriens in my coffee every morning for 6 mnths. At 74, I find it gives me energy, improves vision, and prevents cramp in my legs at night. It grows wild here, if you need.. let me know.., I am about to sell on ebay.</description>

		<description>Very true, can affect the amount of C/L (Sinemet).  In our case, after about a month on Dr. Wahls-inspired diet changes, H&#039;s tremor became violent.  He panicked and first thought to up the dosage.  Instead, he REDUCED, and the tremor calmed.  Too much med causes diskinesia.  

It&#039;s a balancing act.  Obviously, a person must take care and check with his/her doctor.  Fortunately, H&#039;s doctor is in favor of him listening to his own body and titering the Sinemet dosage.</description>

		<description>Angela, 

BINGO - you operate very much like me, and your findings are close to mine - with the very similar kind of passion and attitude to want to find out what the Pharma&#039;s are not so interested in : the other-than-medication-route out of Parky-land. 

I have heaps of notes like the above, and have started to consolidate my findings. I would love to contribute them to forums like these. 
Keep up the fight!!

Please send me a response so we can converse further on email. 

Best regards,

		<description>Hi Suzanne:

We have been covering this topic for several years now. Dr. Terry Wahls, MD, answered a question about virgin coconut oil as a therapy for Parkinson&#039;s symptoms during my Parkinsons Recovery Radio Show last week. Visit the radio show page and you can hear the archive of the show: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogtalkradio.com/parkinsons-recovery&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.blogtalkradio.com/parkinsons-recovery&lt;/a&gt;

I have scheduled a show with Dr. Mary Newport, MD, who discovered coconut oil was very helpful for reducing her husbands Alzheimer&#039;s. I hope to air that show in the next several weeks. 

I will be updating the information on coconut oil in my book after hearing from Dr. Newport.
