Spread the work of the benefits of Mucuna L-Dopa.

Auckland

Due to a ruling from Med Safe NZ Mucuna L-Dopa which is a natural form of dopamine from the Mucuna Bean is not available in NZ without prescription from a doctor. Because it is not a registered medicine very few GP’s will prescribe for fear of losing their registration so access to this treatment for PD is illegal.

Positive Parkinson’s aim is to ;

A persuade the Parkinson’s Society NZ to allow it’s members to have access to a natural treatment and not to bow to pressure from the pharmaceutical companies.

B Convince Auckland University who have the ability to do trials on Mucuna L-Dopa to also ignore the pharmaceutical companies and do the right thing.

Positive Parkinson’s through its face book page is spreading the word and providing a service to enable PD people to have an alternative to a natural treatment without the terrible side effects caused by synthetic drugs.

Positive Parkinson’s founder Coll Bell’s history can be viewed on the face book page and any help would be appreciated.

We would like to go to Wellington and Auckland University eventually to present our research to the Parkinson's Society. All costs related to bringing awareness of Mucuna L-Dopa, and lobby the Parkinson Society and Auckland University into action.
