• TITLE: Medical Food to Stop the Progression of Parkinson’s Disease

  AUTHORS: Don McCammon

  KEYWORDS: Mannitol

  JOURNAL NAME: Advances in Parkinson's Disease, Vol.3 No.2, May 29, 2014

  ABSTRACT: No progress has been made in the development of drugs to stop the progression of Parkinson’s Disease. Here the author has presented a novel approach to stopping the disease using a dietary supplement primarily composed of Mannitol. In vivo animal studies have shown that Mannitol was able to break up alpha-synuclein clusters and restore functioning in transgenic drosophila and mice. The author, who has Parkinson’s, used himself as a subject and was able to achieve similar results.
