A member asked:
What is the most effective dopamine agonist for parkinson's treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Root cause: While it is important to understand all options available for parkinson's treatment, looking for the underlying causes and trying to treat those can help the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease, which is affected by genetics, toxins, nutritional deficiencies and lifestyle. These factors need to be evaluated and then addressed.
