Aunt Bean is a wonderful person, caregiver, and person with Parkinson's from Tennesse. Recently, I've met and interacted by phone, Skype, and email with her and her friend Peggy Willocks from the East Tennesse support group.
Aunt Bean grows anti-Parkinson's crops on a small five acre farm in Tennesse.
She's famous for tinctures she makes using the essence of fava bean plants, loaded with levodopa, lecithin, and other key nutrients. You can find out more detail about her and her fantastic dietary mitigations of PD at:

So it was with great honor that I read reports from her that she had been able to reduce the tincture dosages she has needed by incorporating the solanaceous veggies such as eggplant, peppers, and green tomatoes. She remarked that this was very helpful to her because she could stretch the limited supply of tincture she produces.
She remarked with irony that in the past she had sold or given away the peppers and eggplant.
I currently do not eat fava beans, but at some point I think I may do so if I finally want to wipe out the last bit of the levodopa medication I do take.
God's nature has such elegant answers just sitting there in front of us!
