Co-Therapies and Nutritional Supplements for Parkinson’s Disease
This year alone, 50,000 Americans
will be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The number of cases in the US
suffering with PD will be close to 1.0 million patients by 2020. This neurological
disorder is second in total number of patients only to Alzheimer’s disease.
What’s concerning our physicians the most is that the number of cases seems to
be increasing. A report from the Mayo Clinic in March 2019, showed that the
incidence of PD has increased significantly in the 30 years between 1976 to
2005 (1).
Neurologists serve in the front
lines of the fight against PD, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and
Alzheimer’s. Their work load is increasing and sadly, the number of qualified
neurologists available to take care of us is not keeping up with the increasing
number of cases of these diseases.
The reality of Parkinson’s
disease is upon us and the trend tells the full story. We can do nothing… or we
can begin to take action now. If you fall into the latter group (and we hope
that you do) we’ve got some good news.
Patient education and self-help
efforts are increasing. New treatments and local support groups are emerging
that help disseminate valuable information to help fight PD. Taking
responsibility for your health is THE smartest strategy. Expecting that our
health care system will be there for us and take care of us during a chronic
disease is not a bet one should take. Take responsibility for your PD.
In the event that you’ve been
diagnosed or are currently suffering with PD, what do you do now? Here’re some
therapies and co-therapies that will help you fight PD.
1.
Make
sure that you’re being treated by your Doctor or Neurologist
Step one is to make sure that you get yourself
the best professional care you can get. You can find a neurologist near you on
WebMD.
2.
L-dopa
(Levodopa) Supplementation for PD
This is the go to drug for PD. It helps
increase dopamine levels that cause many of the symptoms associated with PD.
Although it’s not a cure, it helps keep symptoms under control during the early
stages. Remember that L-dopa cannot reduce every PD symptom. Talk to your
physician about this therapy.
3.
Nutritional
Supplements for Parkinson’s Disease
The Parkinson’s Foundation lists certain
Nutritional Supplements, such as anti-oxidants and vitamins, as possible Over
the Counter (OTC) and Complementary Therapies (4). These best
supplements for Parkinson’s disease show improvements in the reduction
of certain symptoms of the disease. Among the more promising natural remedies
for PD are:
v
Coenzyme Q10
(CoQ10): also known as Ubiquinone, seems to play an important role in
Mitochondrial health, the power center of our cells. A more concentrated form
of Ubiquinone is Ubiquinol. This powerful neural booster is present in the
AAKG+ product from Simplesa Nutrition. This
supplement is most helpful in reducing tremors and muscle rigidity.
v
Vitamins
E and C: can fight damage in the brain and neurons caused by free radicals
and may even lower the risk of getting PD in the first place. These vitamins
are most helpful in reducing damage to your neurons.
v
Glutathione:
is known as one of the most powerful antioxidants available. A better absorbing
form of Glutathione is called Liposomal Glutathione. Few supplements have
received the level of positive comments from the scientific community that
Glutathione has received. This supplement is most helpful in reducing oxidative
damage to your organs and nervous system.
v
Vitamin
B-12: also known as Methylcobalamine is an important vitamin in nerve and
brain health and may have a significant effect in protecting our memory.
Vegetarians often have an acute Vitamin B-12 deficiency. Look for sublingual
Liposomal B-12 for best absorption. This supplement is most helpful in helping
your higher brain functions and in protecting your memory.
v
Multi-Vitamin
supplements: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has put together a
list of recommended nutritional supplements
for Parkinson’s for daily use. Most of these vitamins and minerals and
in the appropriate dosages for healthy adults are available in Total Health AM.
This multi-vitamin and multi-mineral is most helpful in providing the necessary
building blocks for a healthy body to help fight disease and repair damage.
4.
Diet
and Exercise
We know we keep hearing about it but Diet
(Mediterranean Diet) and Exercise keeps the body healthy your immune system
robust and your renal and endocrine (detoxing) systems humming along. Stay with
this winning strategy!
5.
Embrace
a Spiritual Life
If you’re religious, great! If you’re more of
a free spirit, that’s ok too. At the very least spend time on the inside.
Meditate, pray, breathe deeply, be mindful and be thankful. These simple
co-therapies will help you cope with your PD and with the everyday challenges
of life. As someone once said, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths
we take, but by the moments that take our breath away…”.
So there you have it. PD will
probably change your life but it’s not necessarily a death sentence. If you
take responsibility for your PD, the progression will be slower, you will be in
control, live a quality life and you will most likely increase the number of
moments… that take your breath away.
Stay Strong!
