Is it helpful for the PD patient to do blood test i.e Micronutrients andHormone thereapy?

Mircronutrients i.e. Lab. Evaluations on Antioxidant, Vitamins andMinerals.*

Dear Friend

,I think it's very important to establish a baseline for iron, homocysteine, B12, B6, folate, and riboflavin. Regarding hormones, that would be up to an endocrinologist; however, there have been some studies regarding both estrogen and testosterone as they relate to women and men with PD, and here, you might address your question to "Ask the Doctor." Dr. Okun has done research in the area of testosterone. Go to:http://www.parkinson.org/
