Food:

• All meals should contain some kind of good fat.
• Eat Color and Spice and protein in every meal.
• Eat at least one tablespoon of Toasted sesame oil every day, in salads or in cooking.
• Cook exclusively with Toasted sesame oil and other highly stable oils, like Coconut oil, butter, and other good cooking oils.
• Eat cooked tomato dishes at least three times per week.

Before Meals:

• Take the supplements to the right at the very start of breakfast (OR lunch if breakfast contains no fat) AND dinner.
• Tocopherols should not be taken more than twice a day.

After Meals:

• Take the supplements to the right once a Day immediately after a large meal (usually dinner).

On an Empty Stomach:

• Take the supplements to the right on an empty stomach, in divided doses throughout the day, with lots of water

Medications:

Reducing Progression:

• Deprenyl and/or Selegilene (Eldepryl) and/or Rasagiline (Agilect) - Slow progression via Neuroprotective action and by reducing the breakdown of dopamine. They have antioxidant activity and reduce oxidative stress.
• Agonists (see below) when used early can also have a Neuroprotective effect.
• Excitotoxicity may be reduced by medications such as Procardia, and other NMDA receptor antagonists and calcium channel blockers.
• Inflamation reducing agents can also be effective, such as COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex and Vioxx.

Reducing Symptoms:

• Dopamine Agonists, like bromocriptine, apomorphine, Dostinex (cabergoline), Mirapex (pramipexole), Permax (pergolide), Requip (Ropinirole HCl), Seroquel (quetiapine), Trivastal (piribedil) are moderately effective but often have troubling side effects and eventually desensitizing the dopamine receptors and increasing symptoms. Used in combination with L-dopa, agonists allow for reduced use of L-dopa, with positive motor effects.
• L-dopa, or Levodopa, is transformed into dopamine in the brain. A feedback mechanism exists eventually making this treatment innefective as the body will reduce production of dopamine to compensate for the external supply.
• Other medications reduce the metabolism of L-dopa, these include Carbidopa and benserazide, and often come in combination with L-dopa, like Sinemet, Parcopa and Madopar.
• Yet other medications prolong the effects of L-dopa, like entacapone, show a stabilization of motor conditions.

Lifestyle:

• Increase exercise, including muscle building exercises
• Avoid all pesticides and environmental toxins (see below), eat organic whenever possible.
• Avoid monosodium glutamate (MSG) and all artificial sweeteners.
• Optional to try: Ketogenic diet (ultra low carb, home monitored by urine)
