Yes he used all sorts of alternatives but the traditional carbadopa levo dopa aka sinemet , was the only thing that worked for the PD symptoms of stiffness and shaking. He was on it for almost 29 years. I don't know of any alternative treatments which would help with the major hallucinations which describes PD dementia, and after that he developed other dementias and aphasia in his last few months. He went the distance with Parkinsons well past the 10 years his Dr predicted. He was diagnosed at age 50 and died this past July at age 78. More good days than bad and never lost his sense of humor. Sorry for the long reply and thank you for the referral I appreciate it.
My father passed away at age 84 in 2004 of Lewy Body dementia. He didn’t live a year after he was diagnosed. I feel certain he had it for much longer than we realized.

MrsMc- I am deeply sorry for your loss.

LBD is tough, so scary and the only med we found to help had a warning not to give to elderly. Thank you for telling me.
Many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you MrsMc - God bless you.
