A
Natural Solution?
The
general feeling among physicians, including neurologists is that
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's "neurodegenerative" diseases cannot be
cured. In the case of Alzheimer's, Leva Dopa* is often prescribed. It
has been found to be effective, though its effectiveness weakens
considerably after one year.
Funny thing happened on my way to the site--I got Parkinson's
disease. Now what?
I did the research that was required, that is, I scanned 1,482 research
reports in the area. Eeeegads!
But
even before that, I called Dr. Harold Newmark, formerly of Sloan
Kettering and the Rockefeller Institute. An astounding coincidence
occurred. He was just finishing a soon-to-be published study on
Parkinson's disease. Here is what he found--more Canadians get the Alzheimer's
disease
and Parkinson's disease than U.S. citizens. In the U.S., more Northerners
get Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's
disease than Southerners. And even fewer
Africans.
Aha! Vitamin D, which the sun converts from cholesterol in the skin. Of
course, the danger of melanoma increases with greater sun exposure. And
sun-blockers reduce the ultra violet rays that do the job.
Obviously there may be a solution in vitamin D tablets. Excessive D
however, causes hypocalcemia (loss of calcium.) Dr. Newmark said that
the maximum safe dosage is 2000 miligrams, so I upped my dosage to 1400
from 800. Don't want to get too close to the max.
Dr.
Newmark does not claim it as a cure. Rather he believes it
stops the progression
of Parkinson's
disease
. We did not discuss Alzheimer's
disease
but I assume the same
process applies.
So
what about reversing Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's
disease? That came out from my
own research. Keep tuned. We'll reveal a possible approach real soon. A
neurologist said that I had reduced my Parkinson's
disease symptoms by 50% in the
month between visits.
Please
note:
We do not diagnose or prescribe, which are left to the physician. Nor do
we sell anything, and so are impartial except that we are partial to
food and nutrients over drugs.
*Leva
dopa, also called L-dopa, is an analogue (synthetic copy) of dopamine.
