Therapeutic Foods and Parkinson’s
Dear Friends
Last week one of our doctors reported the following successful protocol for a new patient with a declining condition of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The patient could barely walk.
After analysis, the doctor added these three products:
- One tablespoon of Beta Glucan Synbiotic daily
- One teaspoon of the No. 7 Systemic Booster daily
- Candicidin for Candida overgrowth (you can also use Garlic)
After two months the patient is now walking 4 miles a day. And was having increasingly long stretches where she was feeling very well.
Gao et al., (2012) found that daily intake of dietary flavonoids lowers the risk of developing Parkinson disease in a large cohort of 49,281 men and 80,336 women that were followed for 20-22 years. In general, high amounts of flavonoids, such as anthocyanins, quercetin, epicatechin, and proanthocyanidins were found to be protective. People who eat less blueberries and strawberries are more likely to develop PD. During that time 438 men and 367 women developed Parkinson Disease. Other studies show that blueberry and strawberry extracts increase dopamine release alleviating oxidative stress and suppressing neuroinflammation (Balk et al., 2006).
A number of factors play into the risk reduction or even a turnaround into better health: researchers have known for a long time that more fiber and lower animal fats reduce the risk of PD (Renoudet et al, 2012). The combination of fiber, probiotics (to produce L-dopa), and polyphenols in the Beta Glucan and No 7 all play part in the healthy functioning of our nervous system.
Our protocols add the Phyto Power and Blueberry Extract for a powerful addition of polyphenols. We’ll discuss these two products in our next email.
