This person is taking absolute nonsense, she is clearly neuro normal and does not understand how supplements can help.if you stick to the recommend dose you are fine! I have 30 year’s experience with supplements treating ADHD and Chronic Fatigue syndrome and supplements have cured me.

[@doooomiable]

Which ones helped you the most? Have you tried saffron? They say it's great with no side effects. The only problem is the price and that there are a lot of fake supplements on the market that claim to cointain it. If you have any recommendations, I would be grateful. I am currently thinking between saffron and dopa macuna

[@Glo_up576]

Sure ! She’s neurotypical. I’ve been taking it & feel great .

I thought I was alone in thinking this lol, it know I read the comments and I am not alone!!

What are those supplements ? 🙏and what’s the daily dose for mucin?

[@ethimself5064]

I would like to point out the following: Natural Mucuna Pruriens do work, have near zero side effects Compared to the Synthetic L-Dopa, have been very well studied. Natural Mucuna Pruriens in a standardized extract made by a High Quality Manufacture work and are safe. One must get reliable information also. As an example or 2, Natural Mucuna Pruriens Supplements must be cycled on and off as well as the correct dosage of the standardized extract - these are 2 must do things.

I don't trust the corrupt government we have right now All they Care about is the money they make and the money they give to illegals coming into this country USA Our hard working Americans tax money they do not spend wisely Put America first put God first in your life

No kidding ! So much for the experts.

Plenty of supplements work really well. Sheesh. This is such a ridiculous closed minded view. Clicking away… 😅

[@fondrees]

A link to this study, actually to any study you mention would be appropriate.

[@dragonlordblazer13]

And appreciated as like, anyone can say "Studies suggest..."

[@fondrees]

I could find no publication called "The Neurology journal". Nor could i find any study mentioned in "the journal of Neurology".

MUCUNA! I just don't trust anyone who can't even correctly pronounce the subject they are describing.

I got Drug Induced Parkinson's quite badly from psychiatric treatment, and some snorts and giggles. High dose Thiamine is so far the best relief I've gotten from the symptoms of Drug Induced Parkinson's.

[@dorinb4085]

Mam if you don’t promote nutrition unless you discern a deficiency should warrant skepticism in your practice. Because before anyone comes to the topic of neuroscience, or conventional, or naturopathic practices. One has to consider how the food industry has gone industrial and therefore giving people a diminished return on nutrition. Therefore one should take nutrition unles the have a purely organic and robust diet/raise all food groups with historically sound practices and soil health. thanks for the cautions for dopa but you have overlooked the underlining cause for brain and overall general symptoms(as appose to chronic symptoms which initially might require temporary invasive dosages/treatments). You are over exaggerating the fear of personal health by using abusive cases to turn people to your thinking. Most doctors are not trained in nutrition for more than 14 or so hours. If anyone reads this I hope you’ve picked up on her bias towards the “professional” dictating “everything you put in your mouth”.

[@QrayzHD]

How do you explain that just one person in a family can have poor brain health, or that millions of people get by just fine on a processed junk food diet?

[@dorinb4085]

First my neighbor, it all depends on what you mean by health or “getting by”-if those are both one and the same.? If so than it’s not about managing symptoms but the whole equilibrium of a person. Then symptoms would take care of themselves. With this goal in mind and having answered the question: what brings homeostasis to the whole body: symptoms can be easily traced to environmental factors (including genetics) among other things that person hood takes responsibility over. We are made for balance and to distinguish personal traits don’t show up everywhere. My own personal research has lead me to the RCP protocol, hope you take curiosity towards supporting your health to the wisest conclusion friend . ❤

[@fondrees]

The lovodopa/carbidopa combination is very concerning to me as the xarbidopa does its job by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of b6, which is absolutely essential in the synthesis of several neurotransmitter as well as other bodily functins. The all cause mortality rates of parkinsons patients on levodopa/carbidopa is WAY higher in the levocarbo group. Taking high quality macuna supps is a better option.

[@dustypowell9894]

She doesn't mention that FDA allows a 30% variation on strength for generic medication when compared to name brand (15% up and down). So the same problems exist on pharmaceutical also. Why tell a Dr when they aren't trained on them anyways and will just say "they aren't regulated" rather than learning what they do.

[@jayterra2060]

YES 🙌 THIS!!!!!

[@paulpapapietro6063]

I purchased this a few days ago and haven’t taken it yet. I decided to do some more research and I appreciate your alternative approach, drugs come from plants before the chemical change just like supplements and so it definitely makes sense that we are more cautious of supplements. Just because It’s under a different category doesn’t conclude that it is not a chemical.

[@Glo_up576]

Exactly! The holistic things can be potent so you approach with caution. Here’s my experience. I purchased this in a capsule form & I’m generally very anxious about taking anything so I actually split the capsules & took half of it in water . I felt absolutely fine so I started taking a full capsule. I have ADHD & I have issues with low dopamine. I’ve been feeling really good & have felt on top of the world which is rare for me these days . I’ve read that you can build a tolerance to it so the study said do 3 weeks on & one week off .

[@kevingreen2626]

I get what she’s saying, even if the molecules help there is no guarantee that your brand will have consistent levels or bio-available forms of that molecule in their products. I wish there were a good, reliable, third party (not FDA due to corruption and overly burdensome regulation) that tested these brands to confirm that they are at least what they claim to be in terms of contents.

[@sunshinensprinkles9322]

Hi could you talk about diphenhydramine and it’s affect on the brain with short term and long term use. Thanks! Cheers

[@bridgetlennon4154]

Thank you so much for the wonderful informative video. I suffered a basal ganglia stroke some months ago and I have been doing a lot of research as I have a slight tremor in my foot. I have really enjoyed your presentation. Keep up the good work 🍀

[@108lukas]

Synthetic l-dopa is concentrated peripherally causing numerous side effects such as dyskinesia Elia which is mentioned here but Mucuna crosses the Blood Brain Barrier and has been proven to be Remarkably side effect free compared to synthetically derived l-dopa.

[@jonnyares1]

Ok, Karen.

[@JennyB957]

Thanks for the much needed information , to make a decision of the possible dangers of this supplement, especially if mismanaged .

[@shaunnewberry1492]

There is companies that are transparent do the research on the company but with that being said the word of God says that herbs are a service to mankind I encourage people to look a little higher for there answers and like I said do your own research thanks have a great day to whoever reads this

[@macromicrodragon]

She cant even read the name of it correctly… as Ive noticed, some people see what they want, and say what they think, not what is actually there.

[@aimeemariefournier1013]

How about L tyrosine for dopamine instead ?

[@hai.1820]

Thank you doc, I'll try this supplement to raise T, but will also keep in mind the potential negative aspects as well to be EXTRA cautious!

[@SkipperXoOo]

Wish I would have watched this before ordering Dopa Mucuna. I’m desperate. My dad and grandfather had Parkinson’s and I’m getting stupid and forgetful in my early 40s. Everyone says it’s undiagnosed ADHD

[@esparker23]

Don't listen to her. Mucuna is really good stuff. I Have grown and processed the beans myself and bought quite a few different powders of it online. Just go for the organic ones. And do heavy metal detoxes for Parkinson's

[@AstroLuck23]

Watch other videos. Get multiple sources of information.

She does not care.

It's great to hear balance. I was about to make an order. You help to make an informed decision.

[@Glo_up576]

It’s wise to be weary . Holistic supplements can be potent . When I buy supplements I start having much less of the capsule than is advised. Be careful do your research. I take it for ADHD & low dopamine. Feel great on it .

Unless your a nutrition expert and no what these natural substance do..I would stick to looking why are brains are broken..there was an obese woman on another channel who was a expert MD PHD ect and said that calories in and calories out was rubbish and that reducing calories had no benefit to losing weight she went on to say that cardio is useless and all weight loss pills are rubbish..who do we trust nowadays..I went to the doc one time and she said I had high blood pressure..OK fair enough I was on steroids..14 years..she said just stop them..and that all she said. I said what about side effects..she went on to say I will be fine just stop. Any bodybuilders out there no what in mean when I say WTF..no advice no help whatsoever..that God I no my stuff. And cut down and then went on post cycle T..not one thing did she ask me dose. What am taking ect..I was so angry with her..let me poke your eyes out..now just where them glasses you will be fine ffs..😮

[@heathermcduff-casselberry1437]

Thank you for everything you do. I have learned much from you. My issue is a broken heart. Over the last five or so years I’ve slowly lost my balance until now I have zero balance. Absolutely zero. I also have severe essential tremor bilaterally. I have had a neck tremor And jaw trimmer. My legs are getting weaker and shakier. Doctors can easily identify the essential tremor, but absolutely no one is telling me the reason that I have no balance whatsoever. I am so frustrated because I am a very active person. Truly I’ve begun to have thoughts about just what I will do if I am confined to a wheelchair. Hey is there anyway you can cover this topic please? It might keep that Walker from accidentally rolling off a high bridge somewhere!

[@Glo_up576]

Motherwort is great for healing the heart . Mucuna is also very good for the heart
