Hi all,
My uncle is diagnosed with Parkinson, which is very bad news of course. It is good to finally understand what is going on, but the traditional outlook for Parkinson is not that good.
I think that he is not someone that will change his diet too radically (I can try of course), so that is why I post this in supplements. Are there any supplements that he could try out that may help Parkinson?
I heard Vitamin B1 may be beneficial. I also saw this in the Wikipedia of trehalose:
Not sure what this really means, I was just investigating trehalose today and I saw this.
Now he was really devastated to hear this, and according to the doctor, there is not much that can really cure Parkinson. I don't want to give him false hope, but what do you guys think, especially asking @haidut here, is there any hope with supplements and maybe making slight adjustments in his diet (like avoiding PUFA at least). He eats a typical dutch diet, with bread/animal food/vegetables/potatoes/milk and probably bad oils for cooking.

Trehalose induces autophagy via an mTOR independent pathway. It may have use for treatments of Huntington's disease, Parkinson disease or tauopathies, as it may correct defects in autophagy seen in these diseases and improve removal of these aggregated proteins.[18]
