Parkinson's and Lewy Body Disease

Product #1: NADH / ENADA From Source Naturals - 5.0 mg

This section is the result of interviewing a former Parkinson's Disease patient who had cured her disease with the help of Dr. Georg Birkmayer, MD, PhD, of Vienna, Austria. Dr. Birkmayer and his father made incredible discoveries which have helped many thousands of Parkinson's patients. The treatment should also benefit Lewy Body Disease patients as well.

To key development by Dr. Birkmayer was the creation of a stabilized version of the coenzyme NADH.

The treatment is highly specialized. It would NOT be advisable to attempt to change or improve this treatment. It works, so don't try to fix it.

By far the number one item in this treatment is the stabilized version of NADH. While enzymes are necessary in the body to assist chemical reactions, coenzymes are necessary for enzymes to work. Thus, without coenzymes the enzymes won't be of much use.

NADH is also called: coenzyme 1. It is an abbreviation for: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. NADH is critical in the conversion of food to energy.

In the human body, the conversion of food to energy can be simplified in the following way:
1) glucose enters the cell,
2) glucose is converted into pyruvate,
3) pyruvate enters the mitochondria of the cell (the mitochondria are organelles in the cell where the energy for the cell is made),
4) Once pyruvate enters the mitochondria the "Citric Acid Cycle" or "Krebs Cycle" begins,
5) As the Krebs Cycle is cycling, another chain reaction spins off from the Krebs Cycle called the Electron Transport Chain (ETC).

The goal of all of this complex process is the creation of energy in the cells. Specifically, the creation of ATP molecules (adenosine triphosphate) is the goal. ATP provides the energy in the cells.

While each cycle of the Krebs Cycle creates an ATP molecule (which is the energy in the cell), far more ATP molecules are made in the Electron Transport Chain, which is a spin-off of the Krebs Cycle.

In nature, the Krebs Cycle occurs twice for each glucose molecule. For each cycle of the Krebs cycle, one molecule of ATP, three molecules of NADH, and one molecule of FADH₂ (a coenzyme similar to NADH) are formed. Therefore, for each glucose molecule, six NADH molecules are made.

NADH is the biological form of hydrogen which reacts with the oxygen present in our cells to produce ATP energy. It is a key "electron carrier" in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC).

NADH is created in the Krebs Cycle and is at the junction of the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain. Three ATP molecules can be made for each of the six NADH molecule entering the respiratory chain (i.e. ETC) from a single glucose molecule.

Thus, NADH leads to the creation of eighteen ATP molecules for each glucose molecule. NADH is literally responsible for more ATP molecules than are created by all other sources combined.

The point to all of this is that because NADH is so critical a supplement for Parkinson's patients, it is clear that Parkinson's is a disease caused by the breakdown of the Krebs Cycle and/or the Electron Transport Chain. In other words, Parkinson's Disease is a cellular energy disease.

There are many, many things which can cause a cellular energy disease.

Exactly what causes Parkinson's is unknown. Like Alzheimer's, there could be several different causes of Parkinson's disease, such as: heavy metals, microbes (especially a virus or the spirochete bacteria in Lyme Disease), lactic acid, poor circulation (which itself has many causes), etc.

While the root cause of Parkinson's may be unknown, the treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson's is very well known.

It should be very well understood that not just any form of NADH is helpful. The form must be stabilized by the patented process discovered by Dr. Birkmayer. The acronym for his patented process is ENADA.

This website only endorses ONE vendor of NADH / ENADA. The vendor is "Source Naturals." The product has exactly 5.0 mg of NADH. This product is available at many health food stores and on the Internet. Source Naturals is the only vendor we are comfortable with which makes this product.

NADH / ENADA should be taken ONCE A DAY, in the morning, on an empty stomach, at least one-half hour before eating.

If one pill a day is not enough to meet your needs, you can build up to the dose which does meet your needs. Some people have taken as many as 6 pills a day (i.e. 30 mg a day).

Here is an online vendor (two more of their products are also on this web page):

The critical BOOK which discusses this product is called: NADH - Energizing Coenzyme, by Georg Birkmayer. Here is where to obtain a copy:
NADH - Energizing Coenzyme

If you cannot obtain a copy of this book, send me an email. My email address is linked to at the bottom of this page.

Reducing Your Prescription Drugs For This Protocol Only

There are 3 pdf files which contain correspondence with a patient who was cured with this protocol and those who were advising her. It is strongly recommended that you study all of these documents.

Product #2: Coenzyme Q10 - 100 mg

Like NADH, this is also a coenzyme. The recommended vendor is Country Life and the recommended dosage is 100 mg. This may be available at a health food store or online.

Here is one vendor, the manufacturer:

Product #3: Selenium (Selenomethionine) - 200 mcg

In addition to the NADH, selenium (Selenomethionine) is also a required supplement for this protocol. Selenomethionine is an amino acid which contains a selenium molecule.

One pill per day of this product is recommended.

We are not as fanatical about the vendor of this product, but we recommend Nature's Way. This product can also be found at many health food stores or online.

Here is one online vendor:

Product #4: L-Glutathione - 50 mg

This product, 50 mg of L-Glutathione, should be taken at lunch. Source Naturals also makes this product. As above, this can be found at many health food stores or online.

Here is one vendor site:

Product #5: Protandim

An herbal product called Protandim totally eliminates oxidative stress from the body. Oxidative stress is a major player in causing Parkinson's. This is known because the most effective treatments for Parkinson's are treatments which energize the cell production of ATP energy.

This product will massively help MANY Parkinson's patients!! I cannot even begin to explain just how important this product may be for Parkinson's patients!!

The dose is 2 pills a day (about $2) for the first month. For the second month and beyond it is up to the patient to take 1 or 2 pills a day. There is no need to take more than 2 pills a day.

Here is a link to a vendor of Protandim:

Product #6: Vitamin B12

I have recently purchased a book which has led me to believe that a significant number of cases of Parkinson's (and a number of other brain disorders) are caused by a Vitamin B12 deficiency.

The problem is that even in those rare situations where orthodox medicine checks for B12 deficiencies their charts for detecting a deficiency are dead wrong!! They may say a patient does not have a deficiency when in fact they have a deadly deficiency.

The other problem is that taking oral B12 is almost worthless. If a person really has a B12 deficiency then a very specific protocol (which very few people know about), which involves injections of a specific type of B12, are necessary.

The bottom line is this: if the patient does have a Vitamin B12 deficiency YOU, the caregiver, are going to have to take charge and tell your medical doctors what they need to do to check for a B12 deficiency AND what kinds of injections, and how often, are needed!!

The "Bible" on this subject is the book: Could It Be B12? - An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses, Second Edition, by Sally M. Pacholok and Jeffrey J. Stuart. This book will tell you how to get a proper diagnosis of a B12 deficiency.

STUDY THIS BOOK!!

Product #7: Turmeric - 1 TEAspoon as needed

Turmeric has done very well, very quickly against the symptoms of Parkinson's!! However, it is not known under which situations it is effective.

However, it is so inexpensive and so easy to obtain it is certainly well worth the effort to see if it will help in your situation!!

Electromedicine Device: The Quantum Pulse

Because Parkinsons Disease is a cellular energy disease, I should mention a device which is superb at energizing cells and comes from the research of Nicola Tesla.

The device is called the "Quantum Pulse" (it was formerly called the "Vibe Machine"). Most people do not buy these devices because they are very expensive, but those who do buy them frequently make them available to others for a very modest fee.

To find a Quantum Pulse hear you, go to this website:

Clinic: A Parkinson's Clinic in Equador

I was notified by email that a clinic in Equador is curing Parkinson's disease within days using stem cells. One of the ladies in the video is a Canadian researcher of Parkinson's:
Equador Clinic Curing Parkinson's

If you cannot go to the clinic, a product, which can be obtained online, called "Stem Enhance" should be used.

Other Diseases This Treatment May Help

Multiple Sclerosis has responded well to this treatment. Fibromyalgia, CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), depression and other diseases associated with cell energy (other than cancer), may respond to this treatment.

Other Products Under Research

Because the end cause of Parkinson's Disease is so well known (i.e. loss of cellular energy and specifically ATP molecules), and because we know what cures the symptoms, there are other products to consider.

However, a patient should establish a consistent baseline of results by using the above protocol EXCLUSIVELY before tampering with the protocol.

By establishing the baseline first, any modification to the protocol (and generally only modify one aspect at a time, meaning only add one product at a time) can be evaluated.

Other things to consider:

1) D-Ribose (a special kind of sugar known to provide cellular energy)

2) The Budwig Diet (known to help cellular energy)
The Budwig Diet

3) MSM (provides both oxygen and sulphur to the cells)
How to Make MSM Water

4) DHA (in the omega-3 family), generally consumed via cod liver oil which emphasize their long-chain omega-3 molecules

For further research, search the Internet for articles which mention Parkinson's Disease and NADH (these articles are most likely to be by someone who knows what they are talking about).
