Searching for Dopamine

Berlin, April 2019

Today, a journalist of a german weekly news magazine has come to see me in my kitchen to lead an interview on the blog and life with Parkinson. Had not gone out for a run in the park yet and still in my green morning gown with a coffee on the table. 

I discovered this wonderful powder delivered from India containing pure dopamin extracted from an asian plant with the latin term called Mucuna Pruriens. In order to be delivered to the brain it needs another component to pass the so called brain/blood barrier. Good thing is there is again a herbal plant taking over this role, mixed up in the powder.  Every now and then i mix a spoonful into my morning juice and feel its power on my body. Suddenly i can move as before and able to run a decent morning jogg without limping or delays in reaction. Yeah, it feels so amazingly good to run and jump and cycle and strech for a certain amount of time. Makes me so happy!

Though i don't wanna get depending on this white powder that airport security would for sure take away from me. My dopamine producing nerve cells are slowly imploding and dissapearing in my brain. But if i feed my brain with external dopamine, my few cells alive become lazy and produce less of that so beloved and precious neurotransmitter.  Thank god i don't have an affinity to any kind of addiction and able to control myself. So no special added juice today. 

But no restrictions in search for endorphines. Lets see what the day brings. Yes!
