My latest update on the "Gut Connection" and Parkinson's

I use Dr. Marty Hinz Amino Acid Parkinson's Protocol
Doctor Supervised treatment that I have used since April 2009.
I do not take any prescriptions drugs I only take what is prescribed via the Hinz Amino Acid Protocol under the direction of my Physician.
This is not a cure and does have it's challenges... if you've been following my blog or have read my website... you have read about my challenges.  It is also $$$Costly$$$
Products can only be purchased through a licensed Practitioner.

I am using Parkinson's Diet 7:1 Carbohydrate/Protein to help manage a more stable Dopamine level.... this eases tremor fluctuations, muscle rigidity and other PD associated symptoms.
I have always known that Food affects how I feel and is particularly important in management of PD symptoms. It is only recently that I found this 7:1 Parkinson's Diet ... been about 1 month since I have implemented it.... so far it does seem to help level out my Dopamine fluctuations.
I try to eat clean... incorporating more of a vegan, vegetarian lifestyle.  I do eat grass fed beef and wild caught fish.
I am not perfect... but if I get off track ... I try to get back on it at the next meal!

Exercise - Walking, swimming, light weights
I have found that exercise is as good as gold ... helps with all symptoms and improves flexability and mood.

I take Probiotics and eat fermented vegetables to help heal my Gut ......Healing your Gut
more information becoming available with regards to relationship of Gut health and Parkinson's. 
This topic shows great promise in treating many of today's health challenges. 

I read and research about all available treatments for Parkinson's Disease. Including all Allopathic, Alternative and Naturopathic treatments.

Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain-For Life
Interesting Book that is a worthwhile read!

Please remember that I am a Parkinson Patient sharing my personal experiences. We all experience Parkinson's in our own way... no one treatment can treat every person with similar results. I encourage everyone to do your own research. Read as much as is available on the topic!
With Persistence and Perserverance you can live your best life possible... with Parkinson's.

Keeping the faith,
