Can broad bean cure Parkinson's disease
summary
The old man has Parkinson's disease and can't take care of himself. His family takes him to the hospital for examination and treatment. I hope that the old man's disease can be treated. It's said that broad bean has a good effect on the treatment of the disease. Now let me talk about whether broad bean can treat Parkinson's disease.
Can broad bean cure Parkinson's disease
First, Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Although Parkinson's disease is still not completely cured, some investigations have found that patients who started treatment within 1-3 years after the onset of Parkinson's disease have significantly better self-care ability, activity ability and quality of life than patients who started treatment only 4-6 years after the onset of Parkinson's disease.
Second: because broad bean is rich in levodopa, which is also the main effective component of Madopa, Xining and other drugs. In fact, the whole broad bean plant contains levodopa, including leaves, rhizomes, pods, and immature broad bean larvae. Generally speaking, the content of L-dopa in flowers, immature pods and immature faba beans is relatively high, and the content of L-dopa in mature or dry faba beans is the least.
Third: therefore, there is such a problem in clinical application, that is, the uncontrollable dosage of levodopa. Because the content of L-dopa in Vicia faba and its stem, leaf and pod appendages has great changes, taking them may lead to excessive or insufficient dosage of L-dopa. Excessive dosage may lead to nausea, dyskinesia and other risks, while insufficient dosage can not achieve curative effect.
matters needing attention
For the treatment of Parkinson's disease with broad bean, it is for individual patients, not for each patient. Therefore, in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, many doctors do not particularly recommend to eat broad bean, hoping to treat patients' diseases in a more effective and reasonable way.
