A study revealed that Parkinson patients have deficiency in vitamin B2 and

commonly consume high amounts of red meat.

 

 

To include vitamin B2 and exclude red meat! These were two small changes in the

diet of 31 Parkinson patients, which resulted in visible benefits.

Those patients, under treatment in the Hospital do Servidor Publico Municipal,

verified not only the stagnation of the disease but also its regression.

With only 3 months of treatment and diet, the patients showed an average

recovery of the physical capabilities from 44 to 70%. The best results were

found in patients in the first phase of the disease. However, some persons being

conventionally treated for a long time also presented improvements of the

physical functionalities from 15 to 90% after starting the new treatment.

 

 

Animal fat versus meat

 

Generally, medical information points out that the consumption of animal fat is

one of the main factors contributing for the development of Parkinson. However,

the neurosurgeon Cláudio Corrêa, says that this information is questionable

since no studies could prove that link. On the other hand, he says that there

are some studies confirming the direct link between the consumption of meat and

the production of neurotoxins.

It is already known that red meat produces a substance called hemine, which is

extremely toxic for the human cells, generating the production of free radicals.

To be eliminated, these free radicals need a substance called glutatione, which,

after being consumed, can only be recovered with vitamin B2. In fact, the lack

of glutatione is the first neuro-chemical change present in the brain cells that

are degenerating with Parkinson.

Therefore, with the reposition of vitamin B2, the researcher and doctor Cicero

Coimbra expected to stop the progression of the disease. Nevertheless, the

results were even more promising: the disease started to regress. The

explanation for the phenomenon still not completely understood but it should be

related with: i) the neurogenesis (process of formation of the nervous system);

or ii) the recovery of nervous cells, which were not functioning but were still

alive in the black substance of the encephalon (main region affected by the

degeneration).

In conclusion, Dr. Coimbra believes that the lack of vitamin B2 in the organisms

of the patients may result from a problem that affects 15% of the population:

the malfunctioning of an enzyme called flavoquinase, responsible for the

absorption of the vitamin B2.

 

The results of these studies were reported in the 6th International Conference

of Alzheimer and Parkinson Diseases, Sevilha, Spain (May 2003).
