To whom it May concern:
We saw Ms. Schwartz in the office today on June 20, 1994; she has been followed by Dr. Fahn for one year. Ms. Schwartz has Parkinson's disease. Management of her Parkinson's disease and her hypertension requires that she follow dietary precautions and a nutritional by a nutritionist. Ms. Schwartz takes Vitamin E and C for their antioxidant actions as part of the pharmacological treatment for her disease. This is a medical therapy, and not a nutritional supplementation (the dosages are vastly different). In addition to Vitamin E and C, Ms. Schwartz also takes a nutritional supplement called Greens Plus. I am not strictly familiar with this formulation, but a listing of its ingredients indicates that some of its constituents may be beneficial for neuroprotective therapy for Parkinson's disease. Ms. Schwartz indicates that she feels that this has benefited her. Her Parkinson's disease rating scores have not shown progression of the disease between her last visit on November 22, 1993, and today. If there are any questions please contact us.
Sincerely,
Daniel M. Togasaki, M.D., Ph.D |
