Mélange subtile et totalement inconscient pour la plupart d’entre nous, alors que tellement efficace, tout autant pour des bonnes relations que pour les mauvaises ! Mais si nous parlions de la gorge, ce passage si délicat de la tête à la poitrine, qui nous indique très souvent que nous n’avons pas “avalé” quelque chose, c’est à dire que nous n’avons pas pu dépasser notre mental, qui nous fige dans un refus, un déni.

Yahoo! Health Nutritional Supplements For Parkinson's With Parkinson's disease, the nerve cells in your brain that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine become destroyed, resulting in a significant drop of dopamine. As a result, symptoms such as tremors, problems beginning movement and stiff muscles occur. The traditional treatments for Parkinson's disease include medications that affect dopamine levels, such as levadopa.

Another supplement that may help with your Parkinson's disease symptoms is cytidinediphosphocholine, also called CDP-choline. Other supplements may help with Parkinson's disease.
