The rate of absorption of any medication depends on the way the drug is administered, ( mouth, IV, IM etc.). It also depends on the half life of the drug, food intake of the patient, the activity of the patient and how they metabolize, and the solubility of the drug. It also depends on weather it is a first pass drug or a second pass drug, meaning( in short) when the drug gets metabolized in the liver. Along with all these and others, it also depends on the patients ability to absorb the drug.  Please read all the actions, contraindications, what the drug should be taken with.  Talk to their doctor and pharmacist about the drug and all its potential negative  and intended and side effects of that medication as it pertains to that particular patient.  All patient are different and have different needs due to underlying health, metabolism and other medications that could antagonize or agonize a drug.  Good luck and again speak the the Dr. prescribing his medication.

i have it. i have to take nexium for it...any acidy fruits like lemons, oranges, cherries, kiwis, are terrible. grapes, bananas, pears, apples(red) are good for it. pop and fruit juices are not that great. veggies are good, they are bland. but tomatoes are nt too good for it. and make sure he doesnt eat after 6 pm because since he has this it means that he doesnt digest as quickly as you and it will just sit there in his esophogas and he will be miserable......genler100@yahoo.com if u nd to know anything else...i feel for him...i go through this everyday.

1000 to 1500 milligrams is a common dosage - taken in divided doses (500 milligrams 2 or 3 times per day).

At about 10 milligrams per banana, you're talking a lot of bananas, and that doesn't even count the extraction and purification loss you'll have.\n\nWhy not try wood ash. It's easier.

It is mysoline.\nIt is also used for epilepsy.\nI have taken this previously for my own tremor.  Within an hour of my 1st dose of half a tablet I could hold two saucers with cups on them STEADILY for the first time in my life!\n\nI woke the next day feeling sick, unable to stand up properly, with nystagmus ( my eyes flicking involuntarily), terrible headache and vomiting.\n\nI felt so ill that I didn't take anymore and the side effects of just that half a tablet lasted a week.\n\nSo fantastic if your tremor is bad enough that you can wait for your body to get used to the drug.

Absorption of a small amount does not hurt your body.  Our body can cope with it.

I'd say avoid it completely. Too much is unknown and what we do know is bad.\n\nQuoted from the page I linked as a source:\n\n"Despite the manufacturer's claims to the contrary, sucralose is significantly absorbed and metabolized by the body. According to the FDA's "Final Rule" report, 11% to 27% of sucralose is absorbed in humans, and the rest is excreted unchanged in feces. According to the Japanese Food Sanitation Council,  as much as 40% of ingested sucralose is absorbed."\n\nDespite the manufacturer's claims... We are talking about companies. Companies wish to make money. They are not concerned with your health.

Oh, I know! I'm almost 27 frigging years old and STILL have to chew up my pills. I recently had to start taking Prevacid for acid reflux disease and I have to open it up, put the medicine in a cup (which look like teeny tiny white marbles BTW), put it in my mouth, and drink water with it. Although I remember to give my daughter her meds every day... me on the other hand.... take three meds in the a.m. and two meds in the p.m., I cannot remember to take them for the life of me!

Diet only makes about 2% difference never mind tea alone.  Taking those statins can make your joints feel 100 though.

Catcrew's answer is fantastic.  Over the short run she might be able to take care of herself.  However, as Parkinson's progresses it takes away muscle movement and balance - - the ability to walk, dress yourself, prepare food, and perform other tasks that used to come easily.\n\nOver time, you will know how much help she needs.  Her physician (neurologist) will help more than anyone.

The human body comprises chemical compounds such as water, amino acids (proteins), fatty acids (lipids), nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), and carbohydrates (e.g. sugars). These compounds in turn consist of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus, and may or may not contain minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc. Minerals also ubiquitously occur in the form of salts and electrolytes. All of these chemical compounds and elements occur in various forms and combinations (e.g. hormones/vitamins, phospholipids, hydroxyapatite), both in the human body and in organisms (e.g. plants, animals) that humans eat.\n\nThe human body must necessarily comprise those elements that humans eat and absorb into the bloodstream. The digestive system, except in the unborn fetus, is the first step in helping to make the different chemical compounds and elements in food available for the trillions of cells of the body. In the digestive process of an average adult, about seven litres of liquid, known as digestive juices, exit the internal body and enter the lumen of the digestive tract. The digestive juices help break chemical bonds between ingested compounds as well as modulate the conformation and/or energetic state of the compounds/elements. Yet many compounds/elements are absorbed into the bloodstream unchanged, though the digestive process helps to release them from the matrix of the foods where they occur. Any unabsorbed matter is eliminated in the feces. Only a minimal amount of digestive juice is eliminated this way; the intestines reabsorb most of it otherwise the body would rapidly dehydrate (hence the devastating effects of persistent diarrhea).\n\nStudy in this field must take into careful account the state of the body before ingestion and after digestion as well as the chemical content of both the food and the waste. The specific types of compounds and elements that are absorbed by the body can be determined by comparing the waste to the food. The effect that the absorbed matter has on the body can be determined by finding the difference between the pre-ingestion state and the post-digestion state. The effect may only be discernible after an extended period of time in which all food and ingestion must be exactly regulated and all waste must be analyzed. The number of variables (e.g. 'confounding factors') involved in this type of experimentation is very high. This makes scientifically valid nutritional study very time-consuming and expensive, which accounts for why a proper science of human nutrition is rather new.\n\nIn general, eating a variety of fresh, whole (unprocessed) foods has proven hormonally and metabolically favourable compared to eating a monotonous diet based on processed foods. In particular, fresh, whole foods provide higher amounts and a more favourable balance of essential and vital nutrients per unit of energy, resulting in better management of cell growth, maintenance, and mitosis (cell division) as well as of appetite and energy balance. A generally more regular eating pattern (e.g. eating medium-sized meals every 3 to 4 hours) has also proven more hormonally and metabolically favourable than infrequent, haphazard food intake.\n\nVitamins give you a complement among all the nutrients your body requires. It is not advisable at all to substitute entirely your meals with vitamins and dietary or food supplements.  I recommend you to look for a nutritional advisor and discuss in which way you can adjust your meals, having all the necessary elements your body needs, plus, eating only what you like.

There is a study that says that caffeine helps with Parkinson's.  Look at the link for more information.

The typical RX for Motrin (IBU) is 800mg x 3/day.  This is based on a 150lbs person.\n\nLong term side effects of NSAIDs can be stomach issues.  IBU is mainly excreted from the body in the kidneys.  If you have any urinary issues, you need to be watchful of that.\n\nNSAIDs are typically best taken in a consistant form vs. pulse dosing.  especially in a chronic condition such as yours.   You may want to ask your MD about taking a maintance dose of 200MG 3 times a day and in the event of more pain giving a higher dose.\n\nAlso, ICE/Cold is a great treatment for inflammation that occurs.\n\nThere are some alternative medicine possibilities also.  Accupuncture and a Doctor of Osteopathy are a couple.  You may want to consider those also.\n\nPhysical Therapy and stretching can also help.

it depends on what kind of diet your on, your height, weight currently and age.  you need to be more specific.  this website might help.  mypyramid.org
