I’ve suffered two TBI’s and have an epileptic disorder. I am overweight, a light smoker and built like an NFL lineman (I’m huge and strong). I’m being treated for my epileptic disorder by a neurologist at Yale/New Haven Hospital.

My fingers on my left hand were stiff and were difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked did I hurt. I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from` a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later ,it was the onset of tremors starting in my right hand that caused my other symptoms to be recognized as Parkinson’s.. I am now 59.

It beats the alternative which is excess adrenaline/noradrenaline (epinephrine/norepinephrine) due to COMT conversion, especially if you have a mutation already.

Cleanest way is green tea extract or EGCG taken with the L-DOPA dose.

I personally don’t recommend MAO-B inhibition.

To stabilize the levels of dopamine, L-DOPA can be taken with drugs that inhibit dopamine breakdown, such as monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibitors and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors [R, R].

That’s natural???
