Parkinson's: what plant compounds touch, and how the symptoms push on each other

Left: the foods, compounds, supplements and habits we discussed, and what each one does in the body. Middle: the body mechanisms they act on. Right: what Parkinson's affects, each down to how it works, with arcs showing how one problem feeds another.

Every line is styled by how strong the evidence is, so a lab finding can't pass for a proven one. Click anything to trace its paths. The loop finder in the side panel lists the vicious cycles; each loop is only as strong as its weakest link.

This is for learning, not for treatment. Nothing here is a dose or a recommendation. Several items interact with Parkinson's medicines (velvet bean and fava contain levodopa itself; iron and high-protein meals reduce levodopa absorption; salt and magnesium aren't safe for everyone with heart or kidney disease). Bring questions to the neurologist.
