My Stack

Updated 2022-09-14

This is my latest stack. I have not been diagnosed with PD. I have REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, a sore left shoulder, sore left leg, not the best balance in the world (it never was great) and some involuntary muscle movements (nothing big or repetitive. A few times a day).

1. I am gluten and lectin free now (except I do probably eat corn fed beef. Can't afford grass fed). 

2. Follow an anti-inflammatory diet. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) has been shown to normalize the microbiome.

3. One cup of broccoli sprouts every morning and another cups of broccoli sprouts at night. I usually microwave a meatball and an onion with some hamburger grease, break up the meatball, and mix it in with the sprouts for breakfast.

4. lactobacillus Casei Shirota (Yakult): Anti-bacterial, anti-fungus, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, reduces cortisol levels.

5. Dr. Matthew Best Prebiotics and Probiotics for Women. It has (among other things):

- Lactobacillus acidophilus

- Lactobacillus reuteri

- Bifidobacterium bifidum

- Lactobacillus fermentum

6. Vinpocetine: 30 mg once a day (with food or your body absorbs nearly none of it). Supposed to increase blood flow to the brain.

7: Berberine 1200 mg a day divided between meals.

8. Niacin Rapid Release 1000 mg twice a day (this may be a bad idea).

9. Lithium Orotate 15 mg. This is for depression AND it may be neuroprotective. They are doing a trial on Lithium for PD in Buffalo.

10. Magnolia Bark Extract 400 mg (90% Honokiol and Magnolol) at night. This is supposed to help with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and be neuroprotective. I get this from Swanson cheap.

11. Mixture of 2.5 grams ground Nigella Sativa, and 2.2 grams Ceylon Cinnamon, and 600 mg of Organic Licorice Root Extract 20:1 Powder and 600 mg of UM Palmitoylethanolamide. I mix this in a glass of tea with honey. These are all antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory. I'm trying to treat my microbiome from mouth to gut.

12. 600 mg Palmitoylethanolamide before bed.

13. I also listen to Binaural Beats for about an hour a day: https://rbd-pd-protocols.blogspot.com/p/binaural-beats.html
