Dear Dr. Kathrynne Holden

Nutrition are importance for those with Parkinson Disease. Nutrition won't cure PD or slow its progression.

Why there are vitamins and mineral not suitable for Parkinson's Patients and are harmful for them to take?

There are Folic Acid, Chromium,Copper, Ferritin,Magnessium,Selerium, and Zinc

What are the normal level of these vitamins level (units)in our body?

In what level are considered harmful for Parkinson's patients and how to reduce to safe level?

How to monitor the vitamins and mineral level, periodly or yearly?

Best regards

Dear Friend,
People with PD have the same need for vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients as everyone else. Just as the rest of the population, they need annual physical examinations, including blood and urine tests, to determine whether any deficiencies exist.

Regarding normal levels, your doctor is the best source of information, and I recommend you discuss this with him or her.
