A Shocking New Treatment for Parkinson’s: How LESS Dopamine Could Halt Progression 03/12/2025

A Shocking New Treatment for Parkinson’s: How LESS Dopamine Could Halt Progression Could a simple drug intended to treat cancer treatment complications be the next big breakthrough in Parkinson’s Disease treatment? Dr. Jonathan Sackner-Bernstein, MD, is leading research on tyrosine hydroxylase inhibition as a novel approach to managing Parkinson’s symptoms and slowing disease progression. Unlike traditional treatments that focus solely on replacing lost dopamine, a previously FDA approved drug (RB-190) targets tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)—the enzyme responsible for dopamine production—offering a new way to reduce dyskinesias, oxidative stress, and dopamine imbalances in the brain. In this episode, we’ll break down: ✅ What tyrosine hydroxylase does and its role in dopamine production ✅ Why too much dopamine in certain brain regions can be problematic ✅ How RB-190 could change the way we treat Parkinson’s Disease ✅ The groundbreaking work of Dr. Sackner-Bernstein and what it means for the future If you or a loved one is affected by Parkinson’s, this research could be a game-changer! Stay informed about the latest treatments and breakthroughs by liking, subscribing, and turning on notifications.
