“Human stem cells restore nerve function in a monkey model of Parkinson’s disease. The animals showed significant improvement in their symptoms two years after having precursor dopamine neurons derived from human stem cells transplanted into their brains.”

“Skin cells from a patient with Parkison's disease were transformed into stem cells that formed dopaminergic progenitor cells. These dopamine-producing cells were transplanted into the patient's brain which resulted in stabilized or improved symptoms 18-24 months later.”

“Participants in the moderate-intensity exercise group saw their symptoms worsen by 7.5%, while symptoms of those in the control group worsened by 15%. Medicines that stimulate dopamine are currently standard treatment but can cause unwanted, uncontrolled movements, called dyskinesia, as the disease progresses.”

“Exercise also improved disease severity (analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials). Some of the mechanisms include exercise-induced production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), IGF-1, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters.”

“Last night I had the profoundly interesting experience of going straight from a super hot sauna (220 F at its hottest) directly into an ice bath (emphasis on ice... lots of ice). We alternated this for four rounds.”

“00:40:40 - Dietary fish oil increases dopamine production in brain. Study. 00:45:10 - How the RDAs - Recommended Dietary Allowances - are set: randomized controlled and non-randomized controlled trials, and depletion-repletion, balance, cross-sectional, and case studies.”

“FTA:Researchers have identified the first genetic differences to explain why placebos help some patients -- and not others.”
