The Neurogenic Diet
Stage 1
Revision and Adjustment of Medication.

This first stage is designed to create the groundwork, with the  appropriate physiological conditions, to allow the release of any form of blockade on  neuronal receptors in the affected areas of the brain and peripheral nervous system.  These obstructions can be caused by chemical disturbances due to inappropriate drug dosages or adverse interactions between  any two prescribed medications.

Parkinson’s Disease symptoms:
Tremor
Rigidity
Bradykinesia (slowness)
Mask-like facies

Symptoms that develop as a result of the adverse effects of anti-parkinsonian medication:
Dyskinesias
On-off effect
Disorders of balance
Muscular pain, cramp
Depression
Salivation
Respiratory disturbance
Dryness of mouth
Constipation
Hypotension
Orthostatic hypotension
Dysphagia
Sleep disruption
Urinary retention
Hallucinations
Urinary tract infections
Lung pleural fibrosis
Falling asleep while active
Onset of confusion
The above symptoms affect patients with Parkinson’s disease who have been on anti-parkinsonian medication for a period of one year or more. These adverse effects have been widely reported in the medical literature in the last two decades.

[Dopamine Antagonists are chemicals which interfere with the interaction of dopamine and its specific receptor. Most antidepressants, pain killers and sleeping pills, exert their effect by blocking dopamine receptors. Therefore, its long term use can cause Parkinsonism.]
