Question posed by M.K.: since dopamine is transferred to your body when smoking weed, does it do good to parkinson’s disease sufferers?
“The primary symptoms are the results of decreased stimulation of the motor cortex by the basal ganglia, normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the brain.” -Wikipedia
my grandfather has parkinson’s disease, but is really chill. would him smoking weed help his disease at all? because parkinsons is a disease that is caused by “insufficient formation and action” would smoking pot help him?
Top answer:
Answer by Liron A connection similar to this has been reported before. The study attached claimed that smoking cured Alzheimer”s.
What the authors fail to realise is that the greater incidence of parkinson”s in non-smokers is not proof of smoking being a cure. It is quite the opposite. Smokers don”t live long enough to get this type of degenerative disease. It is one more proof that smoking kills. Nothing else.
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. My grandfather has parkinson’s too.

How does Glutathione help in Parkinson’s Disease? Several factors explain why glutathione is so beneficial in Parkinson’s disease. 1. Glutathione increases the sensitivity of the brain to dopamine. So although glutathione doesn’t raise dopamine levels, it allows the dopamine in the brain to be more effective. 2. Glutathione’s powerful antioxidant activity protects the brain from free radical damage. 3. An even more intriguing benefit of glutathione lies in its powerful detoxification ability. Its a well known fact that most Parkinson’s patients are deficient in their ability to detoxify chemicals to which they are exposed. The unfortunate few who harbor an inherited flaw in their detoxification pathways are at far greater risk to the brain damaging effects of a wide variety of toxins. Glutathione is one of the most important components of the liver’s detoxification system. Glutathione therapy is one of the most effective techniques for enhancing liver and brain detoxification. Glutathione treatments considerably improve some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease including difficulties with rigidity, walking, movement, coordination and speech. A marked reduction of tremor has been observed as well as a decrease in depression. Glutathione and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (a glutathione precursor) have been shown to be very effective in protecting the nerves in the substantia nigra from being destroyed by oxidative stress.

A question from Me, Myself & I: Do people who have Parkinson’s Disease get a lot of migraine headaches?
I have a friend who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease about 5 years ago. She takes several different kinds of medication for it as prescribed by her doctor. She has also been seen and tested by a neuorologist and they can’t seem to pinpoint why she gets these headaches all the time. She misses a lot of time from work because of these headaches. I was just wondering if other’s who have Parkinson’s suffer like my friend does and what she might do to help alleviate the frequent headaches.
