If levels are too high consider cutting down on Flesh and Fructose (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flesh-and-fructose/) and eating cherries (see Gout Treatment with a Cherry on Top (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/gout-treatment-with-a-cherry-on-top/) and Treating Gout with Cherry Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-gout-with-cherry-juice/)).

Can a plant-based diet be used to treat Parkinson’s? See Treating Parkinson’s Disease With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-parkinsons-disease-with-diet/). Any plant foods in particular that may help? Try nightshade veggies:
