	...Something else to try is "Mufuna pruiens" - Velvet bean.   my
1997 "allies" (formally ...of the jungle) catalog says:

"The seeds are a good source of L-Dopamine being used to treat
Parkingson's Disease in a very effective manner.   Currently the seeds
have become quite popularly known as having aphrodisiac qualities."
Seed Packet - $3.00

Allies - p.o.box 2422 Sabastopol, CA 95473 (catalog $2)
 
In addition to what they say about them, I have heard they have been used
