  • Are You Kidding Me?

    I just listened to the podcast re: Lion’s Mane. I think it is magical thinking, at its ‘worst, to recommend a supplement or medication based on three non peer reviewed studies and 1 anecdotal report. Shame for inviting persons affected w/PD down a Mad Hatter’s rabbit hole.
