I found out there was a 2016 study on Parkinson's.
Quote:
Amino acid management of Parkinson’s disease: a case study
When 5-HTP and l-dopa are administered in proper balance along with l-tyrosine, l-cysteine, and cofactors under the guidance of OCT assay interpretation, the long list of problems that can interfere with optimum administration of l-dopa becomes controllable and manageable or does not occur at all. Patient treatment then becomes more effective by allowing the implementation of the optimal dosing levels of l-dopa needed for the relief of symptoms without the dosing value barriers imposed by side effects and adverse reactions seen in the past.

In essence, balancing the L-dopa with other amino acids lets the brain manage itself and get relief from dysfunction. So... maybe the problem is that this person's brain wasn't getting enough amino acids? Maybe, just maybe, we just just make sure people get their amino acids? Like, eating meat?
And why isn't this study a standard of treatment? It's cheap and there is no downside!
This obsession about giving people pills and ignoring what is actually causing the problem is the other half of the screwed-up equation of modern Western medical care. |
