What's New

I have been reading some medical opinions over the past few months about Parkinson's and Vitamin D. All these articles talk about low Vitamin D levels for Ms, Parkinson's and other neurological conditions. As luck would have it one year before I was told I have Parkinson's, my D level was a step above nothing.
There is an interesting story I heard about the doctor who was hired as a new Chicago Blackhawk team physician in 2008. After reviewing each members medical history, their workouts, and their vitamin intakes, the only thing he changed was to give them each 50,000 IU per day of Vitamin D.

The following year, the team reached the playoffs. In the 2010 season, they won the Stanley Cup.

I have been taking 5,000 IU per day but was told today by my doctor to increase to 10,000 IU.

Looking back on my physical condition prior to being diagnosed with PD, I had a discussion with another PD patient about early precursors, or warning signs, of PD. These signs might tip us off early about PD. I feel this discussion with the other PD patient could turn out to be very interesting.
