Quick note: I’m looking for sesame seeds and/or its leftover oil which may have a great effect on Parkinson’s disease according to Japanese researchers. Does anyone know where to get the seeds and/or the oil called sesaminol? (Tell me how to get, how to get to sesame seed … )
The study found sesaminol to have high brain cell protecting antioxidants. The researchers want to move quickly onto human trials but I’m not waiting. I have Lewy body dementia, which, surprise surprise, wasn’t mentioned. But Lewy is characterized by the same rogue proteins, alpha-synuclein, as Parkinson’s disease. So it’s open sesame for me.
Here’s the write-up in Parkinson’s News Today.
You can buy sesame seed oil at a drugstore. It is sold as a toothache relief. You have to read the label because some toothache oil is oil of cloves.
