This Sunday - Launch of Aubergine Juice: Commercially Available Frozen Eggplant Juice Delivered Right To Your Door, Worldwide

This Sunday at 2pm Pacific, coming to you via the Sunday Connections program hosted by www.parkinsonsrecovery.com, I will provide the initial details of Aubergine Juice's crowd funding campaign planned for this year.

Add your email to support our launch: http://auberginejuice.launchrock.com

Our mission will be to provide fresh, organic, frozen eggplant juice products shipped direct to consumers worldwide.  We believe our first product, a blend of 85% eggplant juice, 15% turmeric root juice, and added black pepper will be a key ingredient in a diet and exercise program for neuro-protection, restoring brain health, and alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease and other neurological conditions.

I will also discuss my status, newest juice recipe, and exercise.  Further, I will share how the common MTHFR 1298c gene defect has affected me, and why everyone should be tested

Date & Time: Sunday, March 20th at 2:00pm Pacific

Background:
Glen was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011.  By 2013, he was taking high doses of medication, and had dyskinesia and dystonia.  Without medication he had trouble walking.  DBS surgery was suggested.  He read the literature and developed an approach that reduced his medications by 95%, and improved his health.

Every Person Should Be Tested For The Common MTHFR Gene Defect. One Outcome: Parkinson's

Have you been tested for an MTHFR gene defect?  There are two, 1298c and 677t, and they both can have similar negative effects.  Dr. Mischley tested me in 2013 and I have the MTHFR 1298c defect.  It may be as common as 1:32 people.  This defect inhibits me from reducing the vitamin folate into 5-methyl folate which in turn foils the recycling of another vitamin called tetrahydrobiopterin (THB).

Brace yourself :-)

Tetrahydrobiopterin has the following responsibilities as a cofactor:

• Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) for the conversion of L-tryptophan (TRP) to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP)
• Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) for conversion of L-phenylalanine (PHE) toL-tyrosine (TYR)
• Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) for the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA(DOPA)
• Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) for conversion of a guanidino nitrogen of L-arginine (L-Arg) to nitric oxide (NO)
• Alkylglycerol monooxygenase(AGMO) for the conversion of 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol to 1-hydroxyalkyl-sn-glycerol.       

So this can really mess you up in a lot of ways (so every person should be tested).  

Note that it foils the production of dopamine at two places: phenylalanine to tyrosine, and tyrosine to LDOPA.  Thus in the myriad of health problems it can cause, one of them can be Parkinson's.  Looks like I may have drawn that card.  But with the likelihood of the gene defect, I bet many PD sufferers have drawn that card.

So the good news is that both 5-Methyl Folate (5MF, easy to get) and THB (very hard to get) are supplements.  I had been taking 5MF, but I just in the last three weeks discovered the 400 mcg per day I was taking was nowhere near enough.  Realizing the above and that 5MF is a water soluble B vitamin, I've gradually increased my dose to as much as 11,000 mcg per day.

Great results so far!  My dystonia symptoms subsided about 90%, rigidity decreased, and remaining PD medicine on-time increased.  I lost 15 pounds too, and have better sleep and digestion.  I feel more relaxed.  No negatives.

Get tested.  Consider 5MF!

February Marks Three Years Since Powerful Food, Exercise, and Sunlight Modified My PD

The journey I started three years ago is going strong.  I am still taking less than 1/8th the medication as then and performing very well.  I am still following the elements I detail in the book.  I have added 100ml turmeric juice per day with black pepper, which allowed me to reduce my eggplant juice by about 1/2 to 1/3.  I added a few tomatillos per day.  I made further reductions in sugar.  I boosted exercise with boxing once per week.

Doing well!

God Bless,
Glen
