You will find Parkinson’s natural remedies in this article. Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disease of an area of the brain that produces dopamine. Dopamine has to do with muscular control. It affects most of its victims after the age of 55 and affects men more than women.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s include loss of muscular and motor control. First symptoms may be facial twitching and then loss of muscular control, clumsiness, awkward movements, shuffling, shaking, high pitched voice, and loss of reasoning. Can’t write, or even feed themselves.
Mostly the cause is unknown. Many theories abound; lymphatic congestion, protein toxicity, low cholesterol or deficient hormones, especially testosterone or other endocrine degeneration.
Modern medicine uses dopamine medications that treat symptoms, which may bring side effects such as hallucinations, poor response, muscular fluctuations and involuntary muscle movement.
The natural perspective of Parkinson’s comes from a complex set poor health of body systems, neurological (nerve) problems that affect nerve function, lymphatic system, and toxicity of the body. The endocrine system may be compromised. Success may be small improvements, slowing or stopping the progression. Great improvements can be seen in early stages.
What you can do naturally is to eat a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eliminate tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea, pork, and dairy products.
Research has shown Coenzyme Q10 at 1200 mg a day has improved many symptoms.
