There's always hope, especially if you are open to natural therapies. Any antioxidant that gets to the brain is useful. These include Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Glutathione is another fabulous alternative for Parkinson's disease as well as Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and Alzheimer's.
Because glutathione quenches the destructive effects of damaging free radicals it is crucial to body. Since glutathione itself has trouble penetrating the brain, clinicians use a precursor like N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or a whey protein isolate like cysteine (brand name Immunocal) which turns into glutathione. Immunocal is sold over the web.
Even better, is intravenous glutathione. The hardest part of this treatment is finding a doctor open-minded enough to prescribe it. The results are nothing less than dramatic.
