Welcome! For your family member with Parkinsons, check if there has been in the past exposure to chemicals. Here is Cellcore scientists of Idaho writeup on nutrient mixes for chem detox, nutrients used in the past like Zeolites (rated 9 out of 10 for effectiveness) and then their own new mix of nutrients is here. https://cellcore.com/blogs/articles/9-old-school-toxin-binders-plus-meet-a-better-binder ____ Touchstone has both Zeolites and Fulvic plant mix similar to Cellcore. Cellcore seems to be all-in-one. https://thegoodinside.com/
If the doc thinks no detox is necessary, then there’s some neat research and products the doc can review.
A) Dr. Axe’s nutrition ideas including green tea to boost dopamine (make sure kidneys are healthy when drinking green tea) https://draxe.com/health/parkinsons-disease-natural-treatment-remedies/
B) Infrared saunas and FAR red light and near inrared light therapy.
AI Overview Learn more Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), is a potential treatment option for Parkinson's disease, with early studies showing promising results in alleviating symptoms like motor function, cognition, and mobility by stimulating cells in the brain and potentially reducing inflammation, though larger scale clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety. Key points about red light therapy for Parkinson's:
Mechanism: Red light therapy aims to improve mitochondrial function within cells by delivering low-power red or near-infrared light to the brain, potentially enhancing energy production and nerve cell health.
Potential benefits: Studies suggest red light therapy may help with symptoms like tremors, gait difficulties, muscle stiffness, cognitive decline, and even improve quality of life for Parkinson's patients
- A Swedish laser red light version with Parkinsons writeup here https://symbyxbiome.com/pages/what-we-treat-brain-health? and reviewed in Australia here https://www.parkinsonsnsw.org.au/red-light-therapy-for-parkinsons/ and update here https://fightingparkinsons.org.au/news/latest-news/update-on-light-therapy-study/
- LED pads look and feel more aesthetic compared to laser. (LED red and near-infrared light therapy used to reduce inflammation and help brain cells.) Novaalab has the LED lights with the right wavelengths https://novaalab.com/products/novaa-light-pad-powerful-red-light-therapy-at-home. I use a different more expensive brand but Novaalab looks good.
C) Bioastin (Hawaii) brand Astaxanthin —this brand is so good compared to others it helps me get more sunlight in the summer without getting sunburned, and I am lighter-colored skin. Doctor can review the brand here with testimonials https://www.nutrex-hawaii.com/products/bioastin-hawaiian-astaxanthin-12mg-75ct
AI Overview Learn more Astaxanthin, a carotenoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, may help with brain health in several ways: Cognitive function Astaxanthin may improve episodic memory, response time, and working memory in humans. In animal studies, astaxanthin may help maintain cognitive function in the elderly. Neurological disorders Astaxanthin may help protect against neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury. It may also help with cognitive impairment and neuropathic pain.
Neurogenesis Astaxanthin may promote adult neurogenesis by enhancing cell proliferation and stem cell potency. It may also help preserve the activity of neurogenic niches during aging.
Brain aging Astaxanthin may alleviate pathological brain aging by upregulating hippocampal synaptic proteins. Brain cell regeneration Astaxanthin pre-treatment may promote nerve cell regeneration by increasing the expression of genes involved in brain recovery
D) Review gut health microbiome — affects brain health — this neuroscientist talks about repairing it without needing probiotics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ1UmNBlGp0 — this video might be “not direct to the point” — Dr. Scott Sherr, M.D.
(my note, if your family doc likes this, “Pharma GABA” is a version of GABA is natural versus synthetic GABA and places like Vitamin Shoppe carry the natural https://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/stress-relax-pharmagaba-100-mg-60-capsules/f3-1160)
best wishes and prayers
