Vitamin B1 therapy and other Parkinson's supplements. Do they work? 

I started B1 because Dr. Berg on RU-vid said it would work for bladder leakage. 5 days later no noticeable difference EXCEPT my fingers on left had( skin tissue only, no bone) were cut so bad and just hanging on. They were sewn back which worked but left my fingertips numb and I notice they were no longer numb. Thats the only change , B1. SO my husband had a stroke 2 years ago and showed signs of Bradykinese therefore I gave him 125 mg am and pm. After about 5 days he's up, talking, steadier on his feet, walking longer and faster. I havent shared with Dr yet but will. The recommended dose is 1500 mg but this smaller dose is helping . Im thinking 600mg twice a day but want dr approval first, and by thexway after aboutc10 days my bladder leakage is essentially gone. Thank God for his mercy and health providers who share their knowledge.

I really appreciate your efforts in making these videos. My brother was diagnosed with Parkinson at 49 and he is now 57. I just learned about B1 therapy and will get some vitamins for him soon. Greetings from Peru!

You did not say how much you took or what brand or for how long. My partner has taken 3000 mg Solar B1 for about 2 months with great results! Before the B1 I had to help him get out of a chair, and get dressed. Now he does these things in his own. His muscle weakness has subsided and he is able to lift heavy items again. Huge improvement!

I have had tremendous success with methylene blue, but I dont ingest it. I couldnt get high doses of B1 into me because it greatly exaggerated the pain and spasms. I started mixing the blue into lotion that I pour into a jelly jar. Just 3-4 drops. I then rub some onto the soles of my feet every night. The pain and spasms immediately stopped with the first application. After a few weeks of this, I reintroduced the B1 and was immediately able to implement high doses which has me feeling really good. Sometimes pain will appear with a B1 dose so I'll just rub on some blue lotion and the pain subsides. Hope this info helps someone else, too. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Thank you brother - for getting out and being there. This is 1st visit to your channel. For me? HD Vit B1 has eased some of my motor, and non-motor PD symptoms. That said, this is all new to me, with a lot more to learn. Bless you brother! Thank you!

I love this video. I am particularly thrilled to hear you say that “one size does not fit all” when it comes to supplementing and so called “breakthroughs” in supplements when it comes to treating PD. People out there try to prey on the desperation for a cure by offering snake oils and magic pills and powders.

Hi David, like you we are trying everything. My husband for help with Parkinson’s, and I take the exact same as a control. We spend about $5000.00 a year on supplements as vitamins, minerals, nootropics, and therapies. I buy only the best, triple tested by outside sources. We are trying B1 megadose, we joined a gym to have access to the weight machines and power plate. We bought a red light /infrared machine, 10 minutes am, 10 minutes pm.Take fasciae massage, hyperbaric sessions, acupuncture, and bought an infrared sauna. I prepared a work out for my husband and he does two hours of stretching, weight lifting, cardio etc. We get exposure to sunrise and sunset light . We have changed what we eat and when we eat, other wise known as keto and intermittent fasting. We eat only between 12pm and 2 pm to increase ketones as brain food…… I have never felt better, unfortunately his Parkinson’s is marching on.

I started B1 2 months ago and find it has been good result - although only minimal at this stage. I take 4000 mg daily, 1000 mg when I take Sinemet 250's. It has reduced dyskinesia and my intake of Sinemet. I know this treatment is not for everyone, but it seems to be working for me.

Yes. You do good research!

Great information ❤I take vitamin D3 and B100 every morning with Breakfast which is yogurt oats and and tiny protein powder. Keep up the great work.

Braineducationtv is a good channel for the brain. She shows what you can do to increase heat around the naval area. If it's warmer than the forehead, it's a good sign for tinnitus easing but it may take a few sessions to get it to start working. So I thought of an easier way than the exercises she gave for this would be just to apply far-infrared heat to the naval area. It helps the vagus nerve which is related to B1. I just started this so we'll see....I have confidence that it may also help dry eyes which is also related to the vagus nerve and B1.

Thank you for the video.

I've seen a lot of good things written about "Methylene Blue," yet most people have never heard of it. DMSO and Alpha Lipoic Acid may help as well. And yes, they aren't a magic pill, but it's worth a try. Please research it and ask your doctors about it.

You are right about the silver bullet, there isn't one, but we can wisely keep looking and hoping, knowing it's a long shot :) I also appreciate your honesty when something you have tried doesn't work. Parkinson's isn't a one size disease. Thank you for your videos!! 🤗

Bless you for putting yourself out there for all to see. It helps others know they aren't alone. I agree with you. We are individuals with our own chemistry makeup. What works on one may not work on another. That being said, have you tried Methylene Blue? It works in the neurological system. There are several ways to do dosing, so research it a bit first. You should also take a break from using it, whether it be 3 weeks on 1 week off or 5 days on 2 days off. It's up to your body chemistry. It does not turn your skin blue, but be prepared for your urine to go from shades of yellow to blue or green depending on the shade of yellow your urine usually is. Lastly, look into diet. Specifically the Terry Wahls Protocol. Her diet is amazing at helping so many different incurable diseases. She has MS and went from a tilt-recline wheelchair to riding her bike 28 miles in 1 years time. She has lots of testimonials in her book. One lady even came out of Alzheimers on her diet. She went from not knowing her husband to knowing him, driving her car again and going back to work. Her diet also arrested my husband's Dementia. Amazing.

We are all in this together, keep moving, it’s harder to hit a moving target… thank you, your video is spot on. Tom LI NY let’s keep in touch, seriously… God bless keep the faith

I just came across your channel about half an hour ago. I've been experimenting with high dose B1 for several months and like you I haven't noticed any improvement in my symptoms. More recently I have added glutathione, taurine and Co-enzyme Q10 in the hope that one order all of them would give me more energy and fight my extreme exhaustion. So far no measurable change and and just today I decided to stop all my supplements for a couple of weeks. When my system is clear of everything I'll start phasing them in again and reassess the situation. My view is that I'm happy to give anything a try so long as it doesn't interfere with my medication.

I loved your video and I been taking B complex vitamins everyday. Dave do you have days feel tried and I go threw days I feel tried and I have trouble walking on those days

Great information! Thanks for putting this together!

After watching The Italian Doctor and his B1 study, I decided why not give it a try as at this point nothing else has helped and my results are just excellent I went from barely being able to walk, a Tremor like a Earth quake, blurry vision drooping left side of my face slurred speech to barely a tremor most of the day regained my positive gate

Hi David, I’m Pat and my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s over 23 years ago now. He takes his regular medicine, but he is really suffering most days and doesn’t really get up out the chair but maybe once a day. So I have been doing research for supplements and at home treatments for Parkinson’s for years now and I finally I have talk to my dad in two taking a few vitamins with little or no side effects, lol the reason why I’m messaging is I two did my research on the B1 in high doses, so what I found is that you want to stay away from the hcl version… it does not absorb very well, go with the sublingual b1 at about 200 mg per day to start and benfotiamine 300mg to start. The benfotiamine is a synthetic version of B1, which is much easier on your stomach and absorbs better in the body and more importantly can pass the blood brain barrier. And I also got him a supplement called MAGXIMUM, produced by trio nutrition, its magnesium, K2, D3, and mct oil, i love it and i found it all on Amizon for a pretty good price because i have them coming every other month on automatic…. So i finally got my father to let me help, i hope we see and feel some improvements over the next few months. Thanks for the videos, take care of yourself.

The B1 needs to be IV Developed cases can’t rely on oral B1. Orally use Benfotiamine In addition to the IV Look up Italian scientists who developed this therapy

I take B1 TTFD(first made in Japan) from Objective Nutrients a form that goes through the blood brain barrier and I am happy with this. But I don't have Parkinson's and I follow a low carb diet cutting out mainly grain products. Another form is Benfotiamine.(also crosses the barrier)

I also take 500mg Benfotiamine morning & nights total 1000mg Daily ontop of B1 complex & 500mg C + Magnesium 300mg, max daily because of heart rhythms issues too. This in addition to normal neurologist prescribed Madopar mg 11:09 11:09 every 4 hours. Seems to help substantially all round. Happy new year PD comrades !

I read that mega-dose B1 therapy must be taken with Vitamin B Complex and magnesium together

I Take B1, B Complex and Benfotiamine twice a day 1500mg in the morning 500 MG before bed, I also take L-Tyrosin and Velvet Bean which has greatly reduced my Awful Parkinson's anxiety and I now get a decent night sleep without the active dreams that made me feel like I never got a wink of shut eye

Good info! I have one supplement that I LOVE...BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin. I feel like it's the only supplement I really need. It alleviates so much pain. I know others who tried it and quickly noticed a difference.

What a thoughtful and lovely person you are. Have you ever tried apple cider vinegar for restless legs...it works for me, I only hope it works for you. I pour a small shot of ACV into a large glass of water and get very quick results. Best wishes, Julia x

Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

I have found it. Extreme daily exercise and superheating. When was the last time you rode a bike 15 miles? Try it. Or 15 miles of walking.

High dose of Ambroxol...a medication found in children's cough syrup in Australia is headed to phase 3 study trial by a Canadian university.

I don’t have Parkinson’s but I DO have issues with restless, jerky legs at times…especially after sitting too long, then going to bed. I have found Hyland’s Restful legs during the day and Restful Legs PM to be a great help.

I saw your other video where you where showing your Parkinson's supplements & the B1 dosage was 100mg which seems to be low the usual dosage for oral Thiamin HCl is 1500mg to 4000mg. There is a need to find the right dosage of B1 for each individual before it can have an effect. If you are feeling hyper on high dose thiamine go off for few days to a week & start again with 250-500mg less from last dosage.

Hello again David I have some swallowing issues and am looking for the harp seal oil including the Newfoundland product you mentioned, only seem to have capsules I have not found any liquid harp seal oil, and am wondering if you know of any I would think it would need to be refrigerated, but not sure Thanks

tried synthetic benfothiamine ... although gave me energy it also messed my circadian rhythm and initial liver discomfort...took 3 days only before stopping ... insomia lasted weeks

thank you

Have you seen dr Antonio Costantini's channel on youtube? He used injected thiamine. Apparently everybody responded well. Dose must be adjusted. The oral hcl form does not penetrate into the brain easily. Sulbutiamine, does. It needs tinkering around to find the correct dose.

It may be worth looking into Thiamine injections. If you have trouble absorbing it through the gut it wont matter how much you take.

Love your approach and thoughts. Three things I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on, all of which have gained a lot of excitement concerning brain health. Love to hear if you or anyone has tried them with respect to Parkinson's. 1. Methylene Blue 2. Psilocybin (shrooms micro dosed showing great promise with depression) 3. Two-three Day water fasts (with fasting salts) to induce Autophagy which is said to stimulate the production of Stem Cells! also be interested regarding Homeopathy/Acupuncture - anybody you know had any experience seeing a homeopath or acupuncturist?

I don't have parkinson. But what I would do is to go carnivor for the elimination stage. After that i would see and then move on to something like the walsh protocol. Read about B6 P5P it's going to help I believe plus think taking tyrosine also. I hope that I help you and may God by with you.

I have researched for a friend who has Parkinson's, he uses Macuna (powder form) with really excellent results. Very fast acting with symptom reduction almost immediately. Hope this is helpful.

I think people need to think about the interaction with vitamins just like medications. Vitamins effect each other synergistly- for example - if you take iodine you need to find out what else you have to take with it , the cofactors. Just like higher dose of b1 needs magnesium and b complex. Research what to take with any additional vitamin. I was taking high dose vitamin c because of covid not knowing I should also take b1 with it.

Great video David, I'll have to look in to the Parkinson's Institute soon. I'm going in for rotator cuff repair surgery in the morning Gonna take a awhile to recover Got any knowledge of what works to repair muscles?

I am curious to know if anyone has ever tried high THC (RSO) indica to combat the disease?

Have you watched the video of the Australian neurologist who says there's a common anti-fungal medication that cures Parkinson's, Lewy Body Dementia, and the other two closely related conditions?

I do think that doctor’s should be researching these treatments so patients can be advised.

COQ10 - Grass fed organs liver, heart, etc.

David do you take Levodopa ? If so how much and do you feel any reaction, positive or negative, right away or after some time ?

Elliett Overton I think is knowledgable says something like our cells in one organ or more maybe can fall onto what is called battleship mode where they just want to resist and somehow also to get passed this use TTFD. Additionally potassium with magnesium but battle ship mode cells just use small amounts every 2 hpurs or, if you can handle a mega dose first thing in morning then taper back thru day but nothing at night. Use the melatonin thats good.

I haven't heard you mention infrared lights on your head like a hat or over your gut which is something that I've seen online.

Perhaps try the sublingual version?

I just started B1 sublingual a day 100 mg and in a week I will double the dose as I’ve only seen minor improvement which I will take but constantly searching

Have you heard of or tried the carnivore way of eating or the lion diet? My mom has Parkinsons. I have been carnivore since March 2023 and it is amazing. Unfortunately, my parents do not want to listen to my crazy ideas so they are stuck on the hampster wheel of the SAD (standard American diet) and conventional medicine. This is a great video testimony. She Was Falling Apart, Then She Found Carnivore | Dr. Shawn Baker & Mimi Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast

Do you have DBS implant surgery done on U ?

Thank you for putting the video out there with Daphne. I have two sisters with Parkinson's. I'm a firm believer that it's caused by chemicals. They both didn't use organic. One of my sisters and I who have always used as much organic as possible, don't have Parkinsons.

Removing inflammation is better done by balancing your EFA essential fatty acid ratios ie omega3 to omega 6 an 9 ratios Because its directly impacting triglycerides which helps blood pressure an so forth What makes me wonder is how much of a dysfunction in this dopamine cascade involves the ATP and Krebs picture Like b6 and vit C are supposed to support dopamine production alongside L-Tyrosine What about the MTHFR pathways with folate and dopamine? And then directly like histamine overload potentially environmental triggers Sending me grey in my 30s bloody looking at all this lol

Hey my friend what do you take to combat the fatigue? Or is there nothing to take?

Hello sir my mother is diagnosed with parkinsons around 4years ago. Currently she is taking levedopa, ropark and parkitidin but due to all these medicines she had some side effects and even hallucinations too. Can you please tell what supplements you are talking about or can you refer some? I am.from India. Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge. God bless you with blessed healthy life.

I am just doing regular dose B1 , nothing notice after almost a month . Asked family dr months ago , she never replied . And doubt I will have time to talk about it Friday with MDS . He said he would discuss movement disorder symptoms only when I return . I reorganize my list into 3 categories . 1 Symptoms , 2 medicines and group therapy and therapist .3 And researchers , studies and trial research . I have too much on list . But he is going to limit me to movement disorder symptoms 😕 . That RIGHT EYE VISION SYSTEM sounds like some interesting equipment/ technology to diagnose .... good luck trying to tell dr about your knowledge . Say a prayer or 2 for my appointment to be good news and maybe find help to issues .

Magnesium helps digestive and constipation. B1 is debatable. I can speak to HIIT training ang balance exercises. They without a doubt have benefits. I did start taking TRAZADONE as my depression was at a dangerous level. It has really helped the depression and tremors. Unfortunately it causes dizziness, tiredness and comes with balance issues. Kind of a lesser of two evils for me. Check with your doctor of course to ensure this is the right medication. We must address our mental state in order to tackle our physical one.

I tried Benfotamines- and it made me depressed and extremely fatigued.

I'm praying for a cure!

I am not a doctor and I am not giving medical advice. I am also not writing about anything medica whatsoever. I am only asking questions. Have you ever heard of or taken any of these things consistently; purified aloe vera juice, gelatin, kefir, yogurt, raw milk, A2 raw milk, raw goat milk, natto, black seed oil, stevia full leaf extract, bone broth, pork tenderloin(high b1), grass fed beef, grass fed beef liver, cooked avocados, cooked carrots, cooked apples? Do you know for sure you absorb enough of every single vitamin and mineral possible. Have you heard of how supposedly the gut lining can get damaged and that supposedly ppl heal it with foods or supplements? Have you consistently tried humming meditation, frequency machines, or vibration machines? What kinda water do you drink? What is your diet like? Do you eat highly processed foods and/or high processed sugary foods? Do you drink coffee/tea? Have you ever heard of caffeine pushing vitamins out of the body leaning someone depleted of vitamins and minerals? Have you ever heard of prebiotics/probiotics/postbiotics? Do you have a safe and effective air purifier? Have you ever heard of ppl eating mushrooms? Have you ever heard of ppl not eating gluten? Have you ever tried different diets consistently and tried the supposed perfect way of trying those specific diets?

I just ran across your video when looking for info on B1 therapy. Have you tried cutting out dairy? There is some evidence linking dairy consumption to Parkinson's. People with Parkinson's tend to have high levels of casomorphins which are metabolized from milk protein. I'm not saying that cutting out dairy will cure you, but it might be worth trying for a few weeks to see if there is any symptomatic improvement. Edit: The casomorphins are linked to scizophrenia. Rather the suspected link with Parkinson's -- besides pesticides -- is from galactose metabolized from lactose.

Stanford university is doing research on vibrile tactile therapy with lasting effects. I tried to post a link, but I think youtube auto deleted it.

Hi guys, may I ask what ur diet is like, have u tried carnivore ? Or low carb ? Love ur videos keep up the good work.

That's a bummer that it didn't work for you. I haven't found a magic bullet either. Thx for the research!

Have you attempted ttfd, which EONutrition claims is much more effective than normal thiamine, which you took, for which many people find no results. Have you attempted contacting eonutrition to work through a proper regimen? He describes oftentimes a complex process of finding and regularly updating the ttfd protocol. Is he full of crap? :)

Im just starting this trip on PD. I have a lot of bad days and a few good days. When i go camping, i feel much better, but i only eat ribeye steak for dinner and for lunch bacon or sausage with eggs cooked in lots grease. I've added the B1 and I'm up to 1000mg a day. I feel a little better. In a few weeks I'm going to try 1500 a day. Magnesium helps too but not the cheap Magnesium (oxide?)

my wife tried that b1 therapy started haluciations really bad. after the first week.

About 15 months ago my attention was drawn to vitamin B1. I bought some over the counter and take one pill daily. The reason for taking B1 was my Mild Cognitive Imparement which was evidenced with 15 second periods of confusion (where am I, where am I going). I still have MCI but at a much reduced level. I'm not saying this would work for anyone else.

B1 helps alcoholics by preventing oxidizing radicals from slowly tearing apart our brains. I'm still learning about Parkinson's to help my dad, but I don't know what it's like when your own body produces the chemicals that destroy your nervous system. I have to pay for it, to put those chemicals in my brain myself. Anything, anything that can make your life easier, but I don't think Thiamin is the answer

I have questions. Are there different types of Parkinsons? My husband is 84 and was diagnosed 2 years ago with Parkinson, He got it with dementia at the same time. It was after lockdown. We used to go to the gym 6 days a week. When we stopped that is when it seemed to have happened. We are retired in the Philippines in a very rural area. We have always still stayed several months in the States and would get most of our medical done there. When he was diagnosed we were going back to the Philippines, the Dr. gave him Carbidopa / Levodopa 25-100, he said I would know right away if it helped. I gave it to him a few days and did not notice any difference. When we went back this year I told the Dr and he asked us to try it again for a longer time but this time he walked a little faster (all of my husbands movements are extremely slow) but he became psychotic and angry. He was trying to walk back to the Philippines, I could not reason with him that we came on a plane. I called the Dr. and took him off the medication. We are back in the Philippines and he is doing well, other than he moves very slow. That is why I asked if there are different types of Parkinsons? Some have lots of movements, but not my husband he hardly moves. He has a tremor once in a while in his left hand, and a little ridgeity in his left arm but not in his right arm it is smooth moving. I don''t think he is able to go to the States any more, and he does not want to. But medical is not that good here. I have read about the B1. He also has Kidney failure, but his number are a lot better the past few years since I had him take sodium bycarb. B1 is somewhat good for the kidney, but how high I could take I am not sure, and I am very careful. I am him on 100mg reg type, I would like him to try the under the tongue type. I would have to wait for his daughter to bring us some from the States when she comes for a visit. I just saw your off days. In the last two years what he is able to do doesn't change that much, he just moves very slow all the time, he does not get angry much except when he took the C/L.

Hi Dave , Sorry to tell B1 had 2 type , one as Thiamine which is water soluble , while another is benfotiamine which is fat soluble , I saw Daphne's video earlier so I try such B1 therapy , but I bought wrongly of thiamine also , I used 1 bottle and another still in use , then I will try to buy the correct one as benfotiamine see if works . I will keep in post after my try . Take care Dave as I was diagnosed 6 months ago , my right hand is slightly tremor occassionally and I took 1 sinemet in the morning only ( yet doctor told 3 times a daily which I don't followed as I been learnt that you will need more carbidopa 25 / levodopa 100 mg , so I dropped 2 daily instead ) Take care and keep in touch .... Bob

How long have you been diagnosed with pd

I’m not sure why thiamine HCL works for some people with Parkinson’s because it is shown to not raise brain levels of thiamine which is where I would think you would need it. Benfotiamine, Sulbutiamine, and TTFD are supposed to raise brain tissue levels of thiamine so maybe that would be worth trying for you. The only drawback would be that you may need more supplements to counteract potential paradoxical reactions that may occur from potential poor methylation, lower levels of glutathion, or sulfite sensitivity. Also, Daphne Bryan did sublingual Thiamin in relatively small quantities of a single 100mg tablet per day and it’s supposed to go into the blood rapidly and I think it would make sense for it to get into the brain tissue that way. Also, I’m curious if you’ve ever tried manganese supplementation.

CO Q10 and PQQ combine

What does carnivore diet do to parkinsons?

The poison or toxin always wins. Toxic levels of copper have to be dealt with before you're going to see the benefits of thiamine deficiency correction fully. It takes 6+ months to years to correct. Get higher quality supplements aka not from walmart.

Try mct oíl they say it good for the brain

This may be a little off topic but I would like to share it. I have gone on a Whole Food Plant Based life style. Cut out all animal products, meat fish, eggs dairy etc. Also little to no processed items. 99% of what I eat is fresh vegies, fruits, and small amount of nuts and seeds. It has eased pain to where I rarely need any pain meds. I have had bad constipation all my life, with parkinsons making it unlivable. 2 to 3 weeks of nothing. If I do a smoothie particularly a lot of fruit, I go every day, and 2 to 3 times a day. I can't say if it would help others but worth considering. I am still working out what is best for me. At one point I lost 22 kg, 48 pounds in 5 months.

Lions main is great for parkinson's

Sulfur is extremely needed to help rid heavy metal toxicity from the body....... Which is Extremely Important.

Are you on a keto diet by any chance? I think carnivore will help you too. I just saw a video about coconut oil or mct oil will help you.

Have you looked into Carnivore Diet for Parkinson's

Dr Brooke Goldner can also help. Listen to her Wednesday Q&As. If you can try being a client for the best outcome 💕Best Wishes

I have experimented with CBD oil, no apparent change, vitamin B Complex, no apparent change, vitamin C no apparent change. I am ingesting Melatonin, co Q 10, omega 3, magnesium, still waiting but nothing has happened worth reporting yet. I will follow you and see what happens. The melatonin does seem to help with sleep but that’s all.

Eat…ribeye steak everyday…go carnivore

Benfotiamine but not to much with a bit of magnesium thats all you need gonna try serropeptase next

“Types of Parkinson’s Symptoms Symptoms of Parkinson’s vary by the type of parkinsonism and between individuals. An individual with Parkinson’s will not necessarily experience all or even most symptoms. Parkinson’s is a progressive disease, which means that symptoms worsen gradually over time, new symptoms appear, and disability accumulates. Motor Symptoms Everyone with Parkinson’s experiences symptoms related to movement, known as motor symptoms. In early stages of Parkinson’s, motor symptoms are typically unilateral - limited to one side of the body. Motor symptoms are the hallmarks of parkinsonism, and the condition cannot be diagnosed without them. The most common motor symptoms of Parkinson’s include: Bradykinesia (Slowed movement) Tremor Rigidity Loss of balance Other motor symptoms of parkinsonism include: Stooped posture Shuffling gait Dystonia (repetitive twisting, swaying, or head-bobbing motions) Painful muscle contractions Muscle jerks or twitches Freezing episodes Mask-like facial expression Decreased blinking Softer, slurred, or mumbled speech Speaking in a monotone voice Drooling Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) Micrographia (small handwriting) Slowed or abnormal eye movements Eyelid spasms Difficulty opening the eyes Nonmotor Symptoms Many people with Parkinson’s experience other types of symptoms in addition to motor symptoms. Cognitive Symptoms According to studies, about 40 percent of those with Parkinson’s eventually experience cognitive difficulties. Cognitive changes, often referred to collectively as “cog fog” or “brain fog,” can include problems with memory, attention, processing information, finding the right words, slurred speech, learning and remembering new things, organization, and getting lost in familiar places. Psychotic Symptoms Between 20 percent and 40 percent of people who take medications for parkinsonism experience a loss of connection with reality known as psychosis. Psychosis can either be caused directly by the disease or as a side effect of treatment. Psychotic symptoms can include: Visual hallucinations Delusions Paranoia Irrational fears Flashbacks Nightmares Sensory Symptoms Decreased sense of smell is very common and often among the earliest symptoms of Parkinson’s. Approximately 96 percent of people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s show a loss of sense of smell. Some people with Parkinson’s experience vision changes, including blurred vision, double vision, loss of sensitivity in the perception of color and contrast, and visual hallucinations. The sense of taste may also be affected by parkinsonism. Mood and Personality Changes Parkinson’s and medications for the condition often cause changes in mood and can affect personality traits. Psychological symptoms of Parkinson’s can include: Depression Anxiety Anger Irritability Jealousy Increased or decreased interest in sex Impulsiveness Compulsive behavior Other Symptoms Fatigue is common in Parkinson’s. Fatigue may not be caused directly by Parkinson’s, but stem from other symptoms, including motor difficulties, sleep problems, and depression, or be among the side effects of medication for parkinsonism. Problems with sleep are widespread in people with Parkinson’s. Sleep disturbances are the most common sleep symptom, but insomnia, restless legs syndrome, nightmares, and difficulty turning over in bed are also experienced. Orthostatic hypotension is the scientific term for feeling dizzy when you stand up. It is a common symptom of Parkinson’s - experienced by 20 to 30 percent of those with the condition - and can lead to faints and dangerous falls. Orthostatic hypotension is a result of low blood pressure either due to nerves damaged by the disease or as a side effect of Parkinson’s medication. Orthostatic hypotension usually happens within three minutes of standing. This symptom is more likely the older you get and the longer you have Parkinson’s. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, especially constipation, are among the most common Parkinson’s symptoms. Bladder dysfunction is common in Parkinson’s. As many as 50 percent of those with advanced Parkinson’s report overactive bladder. Pain in Parkinson’s disease comes in many varieties. Although Parkinson’s is not widely considered a painful disease, it can cause muscle pain from cramps and repetitive movements, neuropathy (nerve pain, or pins-and-needles numbness sensation), shooting pain such as sciatica, or a sharp, burning pain. Pain usually occurs on the side of the body most affected by Parkinson’s symptoms. It is common for people with Parkinson’s to experience sexual dysfunction. Parkinson’s causes lowered libido and difficulty orgasming in both sexes. Motor symptoms can also make physical aspects of sex problematic. In men, Parkinson’s leads to erectile dysfunction and ejaculation problems. In women, decreased arousal, vaginal dryness, and pain with intercourse occur. In about 1 percent of people with Parkinson’s, medications cause hypersexuality - compulsive sexual behavior. People with Parkinson’s are four times more likely to develop melanoma, a dangerous type of skin cancer. Those who have had melanoma are four times more likely to develop Parkinson’s.” Hi!

Hi NOSILVERBULLET4PD, On supplements their is a video where a nutritionist surveyed PD folks for what they ate and used as suplements and what seems to work best. Gingko had best results. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LdpfNnnAzKI.html Last week I was telling a friend on the beach about how sugar made PD much worse and is a major cause of getting PD. He said "do you know I have PD?", I had not noticed. Yesterday ran into him again, he was very happy and said "It worked!" I had forgotten and asked what? He said he just cut out using sugar in his coffee and within a day his shaking reduced a lot. There is a very in-depth explanation of that by a neurologist here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iBNNIIDBIYU.html Hope this info helps.
