Eating and drinking for Parkinson's disease - a lecture by Prof. Dr. Ceballos Baumann

Food and drink play a central role in everyone's daily life, but for people living with Parkinson's they can present a number of challenges. In the following lecture we will look at how eating habits can be adjusted to ensure a balanced diet and improve quality of life. Our goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the importance of an adapted diet in Parkinson's disease and to show ways in which enjoyment of eating and drinking can be maintained despite the disease.

Fast

Therapeutic fasting is absolutely trendy and I had already heard and read a lot about it. Our entire "system" has been geared towards longer phases "without food" from the very beginning. Nowadays, however, people eat almost continuously, whether because of hunger, appetite, boredom, grief or frustration, etc. The food industry does not necessarily serve us what counts as a balanced diet. Flavor enhancers, dyes, emulsifiers, preservatives, sugar, fast food and the like make us ill in the long run and we slowly develop food allergies and inflammatory processes in the body. I wanted to give my body a break from it and be surprised by the positive effects of therapeutic fasting despite or precisely because of my previous illnesses (ulcerative colitis and Parkinson's disease).

One multivitamin per day

We are all looking for ways to reduce our daily medication cocktail as much as possible and many are looking for relief in dietary supplements and especially in vitamin preparations. The neurologist Michael Okun reported in April 2023 in his blog http://parkinsonsecrets.com/ whether this is a really good idea and what the limits are.

I don't want to withhold his insights from you and have therefore summarized his core statements in this article.

New hope for Parkinson's patients through stem cell technology?

The increased risk of melanoma in Parkinson's patients has been documented in numerous scientific studies. A first comprehensive meta-analysis was published by Liu and colleagues in the journal Neurology in 2011 and found that people with Parkinson's had more than double the risk of being diagnosed with melanoma. An important study on this topic was also published in 2010 by John Bertoni and colleagues in the Archives of Neurology (later renamed JAMA Neurology). The Bertoni study used data from the North American Parkinson's and Melanoma Survey Group and found that the incidence of malignant melanoma was 2,24 times higher in the Parkinson's cohort compared to the general population.
