Parkinson's Disease
Even though it was believed for a long time that parkinson Disease are caused by bad genes, it is now clear, that it is not genes alone. It is environmenal factors with genes (1,2):
1. Toxins like heavymetals, pesticides, solvents, alcohol (3,4).
2. Too much oxidative stress and not enough antioxidants (5).
3. Inability to detoxify ( 6,7).
Parkinosin's Disease Dietary recommendations:
1. Increase cold water fish low in mercury, fruits and vegetables, especially garlic, onions, guar gum, oat bran, psyllium and pectin, sunflower seeds, couliflower, broccoli, olives, kale, papaya, almonds, chard etc..
2. Red wine in moderation.
3. Avoid red meat and other animal protein. Instead go with vegetable protein and eggs.
Of course diet alone cannot fix the problem. It cannot fix Neurotransmitter Imbalance, it may not be able to fix minerals and vitamins deficiency because of maldigestion or malabsorbtion. It cannot fix Hormonal Imbalances either. Diet alone cannot detoxify your body. To figure out what is going on you need to see Functional Medicine Doctor to go to the root cause of the problem and elimiate it.

If you're still not sure how you can benefit from Functional Medicine Approach, look at the list below to find out how others are getting better with our treatments:
You're at peak performance. Your hormone levels are optimal, your fat-to-muscle ratio is low, and your vitamin levels are optimal, provided that you're not toxic.
Your hormone levels start declining. The first to go down is the growth hormone melatonin, then DHEA. You're fat-to-muscle ratio starts climbing up. You may notice that your energy level is not as high as before, and your sleep is not as deep and refreshing as in your 20s. Your sex drive and performance levels are still high, unless you're toxic. At this time, you may consider checking your hormones, vitamin and mineral levels to make sure that your performance is optimal.
Your hormone levels are declining at a more steady pace. For women, it is progesterone and testosterone that go down first, resulting in weight gain, poor sleep and mood swings. Then estrogen goes down, resulting in hot flashes, insomnia, unstable mode and anxiety. Your periods become irregular, then less frequent, and then stop altogether. In men testosterone declines while estrogen is going up, resulting in weight gain, muscle loss, low sex drive and erectile dysfunction. At this time you should check your hormones, minerals and vitamins to correct hormonal imbalance.
Your sex hormones, as well as melatonin, growth hormone DHEA continue to decline. At that time your digestive tract function starts to deteriorate, resulting in poor vitamin and mineral absorption. This makes your problems even worse. As this time it is necessary to check your minerals and vitamins to prevent life-threatening deficiencies. Checking your hormones is imperative to correct hormonal imbalance.
Your sex hormone levels start approaching zero. Growth hormone melatonin and DHEA are going down also. Your digestive tract function continues to degenerate. You start losing your bone strength, your memory is degenerating, as well as your vision, your ability to concentrate and sleep. At this time, if you do not replenish your hormones, vitamins and minerals, you're at high risk of losing your bone mass, muscle mass, memory and sex life.
