      Would it be safe to take Mucuna the same day you took benzodiazepines or alcohol or would it be risky?

    I am so glad I met you in Toronto at Veg Fest over a decade a go (Apple a Day lecture). Your dedication to your work is impressive and inspiring. I would be grateful if you did a series on ADHD and it's dopamine issue, as this has me wondering if eating faba beans would help those of us with ADHD.

    I have been diagnosed with early onset PD primarily with bradykinesia and I have been taking mucuna extract powder from Amazon for about a week now and it has done wonders. I no longer have symptoms associated with bradykinesia, more energized, and more focused. It's like I am back to my old self again. My question is, does prolonged use of mucuna lower the effectiveness over time to treat symptoms?

      @bathynomusgiganteus2916 Рік тому

      Would you take amphetamines for your depression? Meth? Research drugs? If the answer is no, then you shouldn't be touching mucuna either. All dopamine agonists, PAMs et al will inevitably lead to some degree of tolerance and side effects regardless of how "natural" they are.

      Question for you, Dr. Greger. I found some research that seems to imply no relationship between vegetable consumption and heart disease in an extremely large sample (400k adults). I didn't find any strange incentives in play, but i couldn't make sense of why the results would be so. Could you comment on what I might have missed. Paper "Raw and Cooked Vegetable Consumption and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Study of 400,000 Adults in UK Biobank"

    Ptaah: "92. Glutamate is probably a taste enhancer, but at the same time it is also a nerve poison that can cause certain types of cancer, visual disorders, memory disorders, various allergies, metabolic disorders and Alzheimer's and various nervous diseases.
    93. Parkinson's syndrome is also a common manifestation of glutamate, along with various other conditions.
    94. The number of human beings suffering from glutamate could drop rapidly if this seasoning salt were to be withdrawn from the market or used only in minimal quantities.
    95. However, glutamate can also be used in a special form as a medical drug to promote concentration and for therapeutic purposes, e.g. to increase the ability to perform at a high level of consciousness.
    96. In principle, however, glutamate must be classified as a drug-like product that should be banned from foodstuffs.
    97. It should be banned in purchased foods and should only be used to a very small extent in home-produced food.
    Billy:
    So this stuff is not harmless at all, and yet it is used irresponsibly to enhance flavour in countless foods, as well as in prepared foods specifically. E-substances are also often saturated with glutamate, as I know. But there is also glutamic acid, what is wrong with it?
    Ptaah:
    98. The pure form of glutamic acid stands out as an amino acid in many protein-containing foods, whereby it plays a very important role in the metabolism of the cells, especially in the brain.
    Billy:
    Aha. Thanks for the explanation."

    Highly highly informational and practical on this topic. I had feared naturally treating my symptoms of Early Onset Parkinson's Disease for many years! There was so little information readily available to me on the naturopathic or homeopathic doseage and useage. I presently take this supplement every day several times a day & add moringa to my capsules for choline. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about implementing FAVA beans into my diet. I'd researched they could be highly beneficial for PWP. (People with Parkinson's) Thank you, so much! & WOW, that video demo illustrating it's use in a PWP!
