One of the usual early symptoms of parkinsons disease is called "pill-rolling." Patients move their fingers as if rolling a pill. As parkinsons disease progresses, symptoms get much worse. It is heartbreaking to watch these people, as they are unable to control their movements. Antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamins C and E, have been shown to be quite effective in slowing the progression of parkinsons disease in patients who are not yet on medication.

As parkinsons disease progresses, symptoms get much worse. It is heartbreaking to watch these people, as they are unable to control their movements. Antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamins C and E, have been shown to be quite effective in slowing the progression of parkinsons disease in patients who are not yet on medication. These results led to a pilot trial of high doses of vitamins C and E in treating early Parkinson s disease, as well as a large study of high-dose vitamin E and the drug Deprenyl.

A word of caution If you have parkinsons disease, chances are you take a medication called levodopa. Unfortunately, the protein in the foods you eat can interfere with its ability to control your symptoms. It may help to cut back on the meat, eggs, cheese, and other protein foods in your diet. But to maintain your weight, replace the lost calories by eating more carbohydrates. And you might need extra calcium if you cut out dairy products. Other studies have found similar protection for those who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol.

These results led to a pilot trial of high doses of vitamins C and E in treating early Parkinson s disease, as well as a large study of high-dose vitamin E and the drug Deprenyl.14 High dosages are required because it is more difficult to increase antioxidant levels in brain tissue than in other parts of the body.
