areas of focus
Are you a researcher dedicated to finding the cause of Pre-Parkinson’s Disease and therapies to slow, stop and even reverse the disorder? If so, I need your help. I am looking for researchers willing to collaborate and contribute. Send me your research both finished and in progress and I will share with our community of those afflicted by this debilitating disorder. Have a hunch, idea or theory, I am open to implementing if it fits (and in some cases does not) into the categories below. I will exhaust all options before I will participate in any Big Pharma solution. So far, their track record in PD is dismal. Please consider joining my cause of real time open source research in the area of Pre-Parkinson’s Disease. Just reach out via the contact link and I will respond within 24 hrs.
My daily action plan to stop prodromal PD
My plan has 7 pillars of action to stop iRBD night time events and stop the progression of the prodromal phase:
- Food: I eat a very restricted diet that eliminates lectins. Lectins cause iRBD events. I only eat the following foods
- Proteins: eggs, sardines, grass feed ground beef, wild caught salmon (canned, frozen or fresh), and grass feed lamb
- Veggies: cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, dandaline greens, artichokes, hearts of palm, avocados, once night time events come under control I have been able to add sweet potatoes and bananas (I make ice cream out of them in a Ninja Creamy)
- Ferments: sauerkraut, fermented broccoli, fermented cauliflower
- Nuts & Seeds: pistachios, flaxseed, blanched almond flour, coconut flour
- Oils: coconut, avocado, and sometimes olive
- Condiments: Salt, Pepper, garlic (small amounts) baking soda,
- I eat mostly the same thing every day making a soup or a frittata (baked pie). Right now I am on the pie kick. I have the timing down and it is easy to prepare in advance. Everything is made fresh daily. I eat nothing out of a box.
- Fasting: Daily time restricted feeding and monthly extended water fast of 2-5 days
- Exercise: Running (3-13 miles per day), Kettlebells, Grounding, Blood flow restriction
- Relaxation: sauna, mediation, breathing exercise, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Mendi (brain exercise)
- Prebiotics: Inulin, D-Ribose, L-Glutamine powder, L-Serine, Psyllium Husk, Acacia Senegal Powder
- Probiotics: Bio-Kult Everday, BioGaia (L- Reuteri DSM 17938), Biothin (l Gasseri), Digestive Advantage (B.coagulans)
- Suppliments: Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin B1,2,3,6,7,12, Berberine, Vitamin C, CoQ10, Vitamin D, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Fishoil, Hydrogen peroxide, Magnesium, Mushroom complex, Nicotine, PPQ, Quercetain, Resveratrol, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium butyrate, Sulforaphane, Urolithin A, Zinc
Please do not attempt to try all 7 pillars at once. Just do one at a time starting with the food as it will have the greatest impact
I eat one meal a day:
- Dinner 4-6pm – I make a Frittata – pie with the following
- Combine the following in a 10” sauce pan (I prefer one with a removable handle so it can be used on cook top and convection oven.
- I med onion chopped
- 1 cup diced / riced broccoli\
- 1 cup diced / riced cauliflower (I get from Sam’s in freezer section – cauliflower rice)
- ½ to 1 cup diced mushrooms
- 4-5 cups shredded cabbage (I get the Taylor’s pre-shredded coleslaw mix)
- Salt, pepper, 2-3 tablespoons coconut oil (all depends how many calories you need)
- Place all (except cabbage) in sauce pan and saute over med heat — lightly brown (5 min) then add cabbage – when combined pan should almost full. Volume will decrease when you add with egg mixture. Turn off heat and set aside once cabbage lightly cooked. No need to over cook
- In a large mixing bowl add the following:
- 6 eggs ( I use Pastured raised to minimize the potential lectin content that comes along with corn fed anything)
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed (or almond flour)
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk
- 2 tablespoons Acacia Senegal Powder
- ¼ cup cranberries (Optional – prefer unsweetened if possible, it not you do get some refined sugar but not much)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (baking powder has corn starch)
- Prior to adding veggies add two tablespoons of Braggs apple cider vinegar – stir with wire whisk to make it a frothy mixture
- Add in semi cooked veggies and combine
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil to coated baking pan (I use a sauce pan that has a removable handle. They are all over Amazon and the market a RV cookware. They stack in very small space because they have no permanent handles).
- Add veggie mixture
- Sprinkle ground flax seed on top (2-4 tablespoons – Good for constipation management and Omega 3’s
- Place in preheated oven of 325 degrees for for 35-40 min
- Remove let cool for 10 min
- Place plate or platter over top baking dish and flip. Frittata should drop out if you properly coated with coconut oil.
- In large mixing bowl combine the following ingredients to make “Frosting”:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon inulin
- 1 tablespoon D-Ribose
- 3 tablespoons of of goat cheese
- 2 teaspoons Glutathione
- Optional
- 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped olives
- 2-4 tablespoons of chopped cilantro
- 1 can sardines or other approved protein (optional – can be mixed in or added on top)
- Note: Some times I will add with or substitute Probiotic yogurt for the Goat Cheese.
- Mix well – It is a like guacamole
- Set aside as this will be used as topping
- Once you have plated the Frittata, you can add your “Avocado frosting mixture” to top – sardines are optional
- Combine the following in a 10” sauce pan (I prefer one with a removable handle so it can be used on cook top and convection oven.
Once cooled enjoy. This is a my large portion that I eat as my one meal a day. You can cut in half and have it for two meal or you can adjust the measurements. No matter what you do it will work. You can use other veggies from my list. Just remember once your get away from green veggies, you increase your chance of exceeding your daily lectin level (everyone is different and I monitor with my motion activated camera.) Example: one sweet potato is ok but two will push me over the line. Also note, since I only buy lecting free veggies, I alway use what I have on hand so sometimes different ingredients are missing or I add something new. It does not matter – just stay with in bounds of the ingredients that stop your night time events.
I have a sweet tooth and this has been a huge success because I eat no refined sugar when ever possible
- Desert Ice Cream – I love my Ninja Creami
- “Sweet potato pie”
- 1 large sweet potato cooked ( I use my instant pot to pressure cook)
- 1 cup A2 milk or Coconut milk (no emulsifiers)
- 1.5 ripe bananas (if organic I keep the skins on)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Place all in high speed blender like a vita mix and mix on high until thoroughly mixed
- Makes on pint serving
- I will double or triple the recipe to make 3 pints and a full blender of mixture. My 64 oz vita mix will make triple recipe.
- “Sweet potato pie”
- “Cacao Banana”
- ¼ cup raw cacao powder
- 1.5 ripe bananas (with or without skins)
- 1 cup A2 or Coconut milk or creams just no emulsifiers and prefer no additives. Trader Joes is good
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- This taste just like a Wendy’s Frosty
FASTING, BREATH, SLEEP, diet, exercise, and detox
What we do every minute of the day and night matters to our overall health and how we respond to toxins. Toxin exposure through the environment or food is the most likely root cause of the Pre-Parkinson’s so the solution will come from the same.
The hope and focus of this site and my research is to find the best diet and exercise protocols in order to stop the progression of the disease and possible remediation. I personally have been successful in controlling sleep events with diet.
