My Dear sister, Dollie Pauline Gaines - Wagner, died today with Parkinsons Disease, she was born in Arkansas in 1930 and moved to California at 12 years. She was named after both of her parents; Dollie Mae Smith and Paul Herbert Gaines MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2014 (WebMD-HealthDay News) -- Researchers say theyve identified a number of common pesticides that increase the risk of Parkinsons disease, In a previous study, the University of California, Los Angeles team found that exposure to a banned pesticide called benomyl increases the risk of Parkinsons. In this new study, the researchers said they identified 11 other pesticides that increase that risk. These pesticides are pretty ubiquitous, and can be found in our food supply and are used in parks and golf courses and in pest control inside buildings and homes. So, this significantly broadens the number of people at risk, Pesticides inhibit ALDH and increase the risk of Parkinsons — and at levels much lower than they are currently being used, Some of the chemicals are; the insecticides permethrin and beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH), the herbicides paraquat and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and the fungicide maneb. In 2009, the US Department of Veterans Affairs added Parkinson’s to a list of diseases possibly associated with exposure to Agent Orange.” Research has further revealed that ambient exposure to organophosphate pesticides also increased the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Rotenone and paraquat are two additional pesticides linked to an increased risk of Parkinsons disease, and both are lipophilic, meaning they resist breaking down in water and accumulate in your fat. Both are also known to cross your blood-brain barrier. Dousing our crops with large amounts of glyphosate — the active ingredient in Monsanto’s broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup – may be another factor in the rising rates of Parkinson’s disease we’re now seeing, as these residues are found in all virtually all food containing genetically modified ingredients. Exposure to industrial solvents, including TCE, a common degreasing agent and dry-cleaning chemical, has also been linked to Parkinson’s disease, Another important and often-overlooked environmental risk factor is “silver” amalgam dental fillings, Mercury toxicity can lead to major inflammation and chronic illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease. A healthy organic diet helps lower risk; a lack of folate is also linked to Parkinson’s (and veggies are the only source of this important vitamin; Vitamin D: There is a correlation between insufficient levels of vitamin D and the development of early Parkinsons disease. It used to be thought that vitamin D deficiency is a symptom of Parkinsons, but recent research squarely implicated vitamin D deficiency as one of the causes of Parkinsons. Adding Animal-based omega-3 fats: DHA and EPA. major building blocks of your brain.via wild-caught fish or a supplement like krill oil, is important. One study found that the progression of Parkinsons disease was significantly slower in people taking the highest dose of CoQ10. Caffeine, which is doparminergic (stimulates dopamine release), may be one more reason why green tea and the daily caffeine equivalent in two to four cups of coffee may modestly improve Parkinson’s movement symptoms as well. The lactic acid bacteria formed during the fermentation of kimchi may also help your body break down pesticides. So including fermented foods like kimchi in your diet may also be a wise strategy to help detox the pesticides that do enter your body.
