Mucuna Pruriens, The Ayurvedic Dopamine Bean

SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE!: bit.ly/2OsRhsi
Mucuna pruriens is a renowned Ayurvedic herb, or rather legume, used extensively in one of the oldest health care systems in the world, the traditional Indian medical system of Ayurveda. As a highly cherished Rasayana and rejuvenating powder, it is known to be especially supportive to the nervous system functions, especially for its influence as a nervine tonic helpful for calming anxiety-related tension.
Commonly utilized in powdered form, it is believed to contain a particular compound that potentially acts as a precursor to certain mood-uplifting neurotransmitters. Powders are often used as a dietary supplement added in small amounts to teas or blended drinks.

OMG this is such a blessing! I just shared this with my sister who was just dx'd with PD. Our mother recently passed away from it and I am trying desperately to help her.

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

Best of luck to you and your health goals!

I was able to replace levodopa/ with MacunaD5 which is Macuna Pruriens 40percent My mom was diagnosed when she was 62 and now she is 83 years old and still can do 10-15 steps with support and her cognitive ability and memory is still good. After 5 years on real meds she could no longer walk. Then we did - Ozone therapy every other day for 4 weeks and high doses of vit C and amino acids IV also helped a lot. We did this once about 7 years ago and she started walking with a cane again. Unfortunately she started running with her walker and fell braking her arm. It was hard times. We were lucky to find a doctor Dr. Harding in Chicagoland area who helped us replace levodopa/ Carbidopa with Macuna D5 with 4 capsules three times daily ( while still taking levodopa Carbidopa) and very slowly lowering synthetic meds and increasing Macuna pruriens as needed. Each person may need different dose. The dose a patient or caregiver needs to find. After replacing it she was taking 6 capsules of Macuna D5 three times daily. It worked for a long time. Sometimes we had to increase the dose. she takes 17 capsules divided to three times a day. Recently Macuna was not helping as much so she takes 1 whole pill of levodopa/ Carbidopa midday in addition to Macuna three times a day. This is much more tolerable to her than meds. Her Parkinson was developed due to untreated Lyme disease and high levels of heavy metals. To get rid of heavy metals and environmental toxins she has been taking Pecta Clear everyday for last 4 years. Recently we also gave her low levels of methylene blue and that helps with dementia. For tremors and high blood pressure we always used CBD only and 25-50 mg in pill helps to stop tremors and lowers high blood pressure to perfect level. Ps. You cannot stop real meds cold Turkey. You have to still give meds as you start giving supplementation with Macuna. Try finding integrative MD doctor that know how to do it. Good luck!

[@tonyrichengod9280]

I mix this with GABA and Zinc and take it right before bed. It gives me the most vivid and colorful dreams ever! Not only that, that combo is known to boost human growth hormone production, which is restorative, so I find myself sleeping only 5-6 and feeling complete restored the day after when I normally need about 8 hours without it. Lastly, yes I feel hornier when I take it!

In the powder form of mucuna, what is the recommended dosage, 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon

[@Life-Row-Toll]

depends on the straighten or percentage of the powder, I presume. Start with a low dose, and work your way up to a 'comfortable' amount. HINT: if your stomach rejects a certain amount/high dose, consume a lesser amount.

[@theGreaterAwareness]

This plant grows like a weed and yet it's so good for you. I'm amazed everyone isn't growing this plant. And there is a variety with much smaller bristles on the beans - these are the main problem with growing it however because the smaller bristle variety is much safer - people should grow it. I had 11 beans, put them in some succulent / cacti potting mix (for the drainage as I live in the tropics with wet season) - 100% success rate. All legumes contain Lectins and that is the plant's defense against predation. Humans are resistant to some lectins but not most. Lectins attach to your stomach lining and cause inflammation. So if I hear someone has been eating beans and suffered intestinal upsets - they should try pressure cooking the beans as this will destroy the lectins. Not sure if that destroys the medication but pressure cooking is one known way to destroy lectins. Otherwise you can try eating something like Okra or fish oil before you eat the beans and this should protect your stomach lining from the lectins.

My body forgot how to breathe when I took this. I was driving and realized I wasnt breathing. Then I had to tell myself to breathe basically each breath for the next hour. REALLY scary because it felt llike I was getting no air. Eventually turned to panic. I think the adrenaline helped my breathing go back to normal. Thought maybe it was just my body being weird to a new supplement. Turns out "disturbed breathing" is a damn side effect. I am afraid to take it now :/

[@SuperfoodEvolution]

Wow, how much did you take? I would err on the side of caution and perhaps take a small dose only or stay away completely!

[@harvstralosik678]

@@SuperfoodEvolution i would say this was 100% panic attack

[@lhds856]

Maybe You are allergic to this.

[@Mary-bw6go]

It wasn’t panic until I realized I had absolutely no control over my breathing. The side effect from a study done said some participants had disturbed breathing. Anything messing with the neurotransmitters in the brain can effect breathing signals. I take new supplements regularly, I’m not afraid of them, and I never get panic attacks. I legitimately noticed my breathing was not working right, before I knew of this side effect, found out after when searching.

Sounds like maybe your body ran out of one of the synergetic precursors that work in concert. Maybe.

[@starvinmarvin7964]

Your body adapts to the substance just like anything else used habitually. I wouldnt use macuna for any long period of time. It has the potential to downregulate not only dopamine receptors, but an enzyme responsible for converting amino acids into dopamine. Once that enzyme downregulates it's very stubborn to function normally again and can take a really long time to get back to normal. I personally wouldnt consume it more than two days in a row and spread the doses far apart. two weeks apart at least would be ideal and one absolute minimum.
