Being a whole food supplement, the wheat sprouts and algae not only contain the highest amount of antioxidant
enzyme activity available today in any antioxidant supplement, but also contain every single coenzyme factor
naturally occurring within the sprouts and algae. This is very important, for as with any nutrient, enzymes do not
work alone. The overall synergistic effect of having all of the enzymes together with vitamins and minerals
instead of being isolated, as in many man-made antioxidant supplements, is a big reason why the wheat
sprouts and algae supplement is able to deliver one million units of total antioxidant enzyme activity!
Another Antioxidant to consider in your nutritional supplementation program:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). The natural main approach for improved treatments of PD has been to prevent
mitochondrial oxidative damage by the use of CoQ10.
CoQ10 is a component of the mitochondrial electron transport system and of energy production. It is also an
antioxidant that, in animal studies, appears to provide neuroprotection.
If neurons have a deficient mitochondrial transport system, they will conceivably produce more free radicals.
Researchers have suggested this as a cause of increased oxidative damage in PD patients. In animal models
of neurodegenerative diseases, impaired mitochondrion has been seen in the substantia nigra and in platelets.
Oral CoQ10 treatment was found to protect the nigra and stratum of mice treated with MPTP; a free radical-
producing pesticide that selectively damages the brain’s nigrostriatal dopamine system.
Platelet levels of CoQ10 are low in patients with early stage PD, and CoQ10 is well tolerated. A pilot study at
the University of California at San Diego tried to link changes in mitochondrial transport with altered PD motor
activity. Researchers gave 15 PD patients 200 mg CoQ10 one to four times daily for a month. A trend for
improvement in the mitochondrial transport system activity was noted.
The antioxidant supplement I recommend has a remarkable combination of organic flaxseed oil providing a rich
source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, wild-crafted blue green algae, mechanically extracted carotenoids
from red beta algae, fennel, rosemary, cinnamon, and ginger.

Antioxidant Supplements
Currently, the most effective means of treating PD is by replacing dopamine deficiency with a synthetic
dopamine medication or a drug that increases the amount of dopamine used by neurons. This synthetic
dopamine drug can reverse PD symptoms, prolong patients’ abilities to stay independent, and increases survival
Researchers suspect that the synthetic dopamine drug‘s potential to generate free radicals causes further
treatment, PD patients develop neurological complications and about 40 percent will develop dementia.
Researchers suspect that the synthetic dopamine drug‘s potential to generate free radicals causes further
neuron degeneration during long-term treatment.
Holistic doctors suggest the use of adequate levels of dietary antioxidants in the hope of reducing the potential
toxic side effects of long term use of the synthetic dopamine drug. However, studies involving PD patients who
supplemented with antioxidants while taking the synthetic dopamine drug have not shown much success. I
believe the lack of success stems from the fact that all the antioxidants used in these studies were man made
isolated nutritional ingredients such as vitamins Beta Carotene, E and C. On the other hand, whole food
antioxidant supplements can neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative injury.

Your daily consumption of fruits and vegetables provide you with much of the beneficial antioxidants. However,
because we do not know the quality of the soils from which our commercial or organic fruits and vegetables are
grown, we cannot guarantee that we are totally protected from free radical damage. This is why it is so
important to supplement with antioxidant vitamins.
Antioxidant vitamins are some of the most important supplements because of their different abilities to protect
proteins, lipids, and DNA leading to reducing the risk of neuron degeneration and dopamine oxidation.
Why whole foods are the best antioxidant supplements:
Most people take single antioxidant vitamins, such as Vitamins C, E and Beta Carotene. You are far better off
using whole food antioxidants to nourish and protect your brain neurons because whole food antioxidants
contain the two types of antioxidants - the nutrients and their natural enzymes (man-made supplements do not).
The antioxidant nutrients (such as vitamins A, C and E) are derived from the diet and have their primary effect
while circulating in the blood outside of the cells. The antioxidant enzyme system (super oxide dismutase
"SOD", catalase and others found naturally in foods such as glutathione) is produced by the body inside and
outside of the cells. This gives the antioxidant enzyme system a much greater advantage in controlling free
radicals because free radical production occurs primarily inside the cell.

Whole food Antioxidants and Parkinson’s Disease:
Because free radicals have been implicated in PD, antioxidants should, in
principle, reduce the risk of neuron degeneration and dopamine oxidation.
Antioxidants, either that made in cells or absorbed from the diet, neutralize
free radicals or protect cells from oxidative injury. Among the antioxidants
found inside cells are enzymes, glutathione, and CoQ10. Dietary
antioxidants include vitamins C and E, flavonoids, carotenoids, and organ
sulfur compounds such as those in garlic. Also important are trace
minerals including copper, manganese, selenium and zinc, which are
essential for antioxidant-enzyme function.

One of the best antioxidants on the market today is a supplement made from organically
grown wheat sprouts, wild-crafted blue green algae and red sea algae. Three powerful
foods are in this one supplement. This supplement is a whole food full spectrum antioxidant.
The wheat sprouts, wild-crafted blue green algae and red sea algae whole food antioxidant
supplement is the most effective first-line-of-defense against free radicals. It supplies the
body and brain with antioxidant nutrients AND natural enzymes. The effectiveness of this
product has been proven through 10 years of animal studies at Indiana State University and
Wilkes University (contact me if you would like a copy of this research).
