So first I returned to work as a doctor, I needed income, and it is just the call of my heart. In evenings and weekends, between exercise sessions, I gathered friends neurologists and researchers who had seen me "before the Parkinson", "with Parkinson" and "with mannitol".
They were all 3 speechless and excited. We discussed what needed to be done so that all patients could benefit of mannitol. Originally I believed that research answering the questions such as at what dose, is it safe, how to take it to get the most of it- would make the job. But then I realised that since , there are hardly more patients aware of mannitol than when I hear of it 2 years ago.
Now obviously, I can't just go and discuss my story and the animal experiments. Even if their feedback is negative. Remember, if you told me you took mannitol for a year and nothing in your disease changed, that was the original purpose of the researchers. So please join me in this initiative, be in contact for more information. Thanks for sharing this vital information.
I was researching Manitol for PD when I luckily came across your story. Can you please update us me on what you have learned so far? Also, what is the dosage that should be taken each day? Any help you can share will be greatly appreciated!!! First let me say that I appreciate this forum and your work as a moderator. That is a caring gift that you share with all of us! I know that legally you HAVE to do it.
The sad thing is that the doctors and neurologists MANY! I was so hopeful that neurologists would help with my own husband's PD, and now resigned to the fact that any help he gets will have to come from MY research and HIS diligence in following what I've come up with.

Thank you. I have been taking 2 tsp in my coffee and that is all. I knew it could cause trips to the bathroom if taking to much. Last week I upped it to 3.
I only weigh 93lbs, so I am careful with most things. But, I have not noticed any change, so we shall see. Depending on things, I may try 1 Tbs down the road. Nice to hear you spoke to a pharmacist. Glutathione production by cells in the brain requires the amino acid cysteine, found in meat and sulfur-containing vegetables. It also requires good digestion. I use NAC supplements and digestive enzymes since my digestion is variable. There is also more info about the ingredients. The net weight is I only weigh 93 pounds, and have problems with a lot of meds, so I started out with 2tsp.
Last week I upped to 3tsp. A lot of info there, including scholarly articles. The initial research, which our pharmacist checked out, suggested 1tbs in coffee once a day.
You may need something for gas. It seems to be a problem for a lot of people and is mentioned in the research. If you have bathroom issues, I would cut back on how much Mannitol you take. And give it a month or two to give results. It took a while for it to give results my wife reminds me. There is nothing else that can claim that as far as I can tell…. I have purchased Manitol sweetening powder from Amazon. I have not started using it yet as I wanted to know the dosage. I will start with 1heaping table spoon in my breakfast or in my tea.
I will post if there is any change in my PD. Please note that I have stage 1 ideoPathic PD I do not have any tremor but my hand writing is getting smaller and I have freezing in my legs. I will keep this forum up dated if I notice any changes. I am thrilled to hear about your experiences. Thank you for this forum and to those who are willing to share.
Will give mannitol a try and be patient with it. Seems if it works, it takes a few months. Yes, Mannitol does seem to take a few months for it to work. But that makes sense if it is cleaning up the alpha synuclein deposits. I do take vit C as was suggested on this forum. When Mannitol is used in a hospital, it is given by I. We are using it as a powdered sugar and is not dangerous ingesting it. It is FDA approved as a sugar—used to sweeten chewing gum or for people with diabetes.
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, I will try many of your routine supplements, I would love to to be able to walk to enjoy growing a vegetable garden. It is awesome that you are no longer in hospice. God Bless. Oh — be careful with activated charcoal — it can bind medications too so take those when your not taking the charcoal!
Thanks, Thomas, for posting … I am about years in with PD but only diagnosed two years ago …. I plan on registering to find out what I can … Particularly, what brand were they using? What dose? Should you take this on an empty stomach? That last one raises the question of whether it needs an empty stomach to cross the blood brain barrier like Levadopa to be truly effective.
And to those who experienced a reduction in symptoms, did you take it on an empty stomach? Correction to my last post … I apparently missed a critical sentence in the PNT article … but Mannitol has no problem crossing the blood-brain barrier …. I will would like to continue hearing experiences here and whether anyone plans on registering with CliniCrowd ….
I would have registered for the clinical trials, but exchanging e-mails with the scientist in Israel I realized I was no help.
So those of you who do feel Mannitol is helping should definitely sign up with the CliniCrowd. I was diagnosed a year ago this month. I am pretty sure I had it the year before, as I had serious sleep issues and my right hand shook badly. I thought it was too much thyroid. I am seeing a new doctor in July. I could not handle the usual prescription everyone gets. Made me so nauseous I had to stop. I am petite, weighted 98 but lost down to 93 after that. So, there is nothing that can be done?
I have been trying the Mannitol thing for about six months. I am not worse, but the tremors are still there and the sleep has not changed. I did take a tsp more starting about a month ago. So maybe.
I always read what people share that they have tried. I get more info from them then I did from her. I see it helped MS patients, but have not seen anyone with PD rave about them. Also, I read where the antidepressant for PD is Agilent.
I asked my new Primary yesterday if he could prescribe that since he thinks I might need an antidepressant. He said I needed to discuss with my Movement doctor.
Has anyone tried that? Thanks for sharing your experience Thomas. I very much appreciate people taking time to do that. Dear Beth, My husband did not take the usual and customary meds to start with. We wanted to postpone the inevitable inefficacy of the meds, not to mention the undesirable side effects of dyskinesias.
At first, the exercise brought about undesirable extreme tremors while exercising, but that soon passed over a period of months, when he got more fit and recognized how much exercise performed like medicine; for stress management and for reducing symptoms.
That lasted 3 years before he went on to sinemet. This is not working, as we know its a side effect of the sinemet over time. We are presently investigating DBS surgery, which would allow him to reduce the amount of his meds and thus the dyskinesias. Wishing you the best. I have to agree with Denise. Exercise is the very best thing that helps the symptoms of PD. I exercise 5 days a week with virtual classes both aerobically and with 5 lb.
I have not increased my sinemet CR in 2 years and have no dyskensias or freezing. My balance is better than most 72 year olds and my cognitive abilities are only slightly diminished. Thanks Barry.
I guess I need to exercise more. At 84, not as motivated as I was back in the day. A year after I had breast cancer, and surgery, I went to the gym faithfully, for 20 yrs, and did the weights and treadmill. The last trip to the gym was when I was I then made sure I was walking a lot. Since I moved three yrs ago, I have walked but not every day. I am on my feet daily, cooking, doing my laundry, grocery shopping, etc.
I am two yrs in with PD. I have tremors, terrible sleep problems, and when I tried Rytary, the little anxiety I had got worse. My doctor said it did not cause anxiety.
I told her a pharmacist said it could, and the side effects said it could. Even my new primary doctor said it could, and she got upset with me when I understand it can, and she got rather not so nice saying I was calling her to be untruthful. I know people respond differently to a lot of meds, etc. She has done nothing for me in a year except hear me talk about how I feel.
I have a little balance issues. If I could get more sleep, I think I would not have so much fatigue. But maybe. I hear others talk exercise, so I will start that today, being more faithful. Exercise can not be discounted at all. My doctors now believe that regular cardio workouts three or four days a week for more than 30 years may have played a role in delaying a variety of symptoms … therefore delaying a complete diagnosis until I was about years in.
I can see on the web site that once you are registered, you can get information about dosing which appears to vary, I think, based on size and weight …. Thanks a bunch for your newsy note. Good to know those 20 yrs were worth it. I have osteoarthritis and osteoporosis and that is why I stopped the gym.
I tried going not doing the weights, which the doctor said to stop, but I had a routine for 20 yrs, and not being able to continue, I guess I got disappointed, and thought I would just walk. But I did not do that regularly like I am almost doing now, since I moved.
I do climb 3 flights of stairs at least once a day, 32 steps. Sometimes I get in climbing twice. I think I will definitely go for that, as I have a leaky heart valve, and the doctor would like to see me do that. I guess I have not realized I am as old as I am. I am concerned about my memory, short term, so I will discuss with the new doctor. Being petite probably helps. Mannitol has excellent physical properties that make it a great choice as a direct compression excipient in tabletting.
As mannitol is not full metabolised by the body it has a low impact on blood glucose levels meaning it is suitable for diabetics The low hygroscopic properties of D-Mannitol makes it excellent for use where products are moisture sensitive. Select a quantity Choose an Option Add to Cart. Helena St.
