I take this as supporting the theory that PD begins in the gut. Why, I am not sure, although I am leaning towards the notion that unhappy gut flora, in attempts to stabilize/balance/get the environment where they need it to be, mutate things including alpha-synuclein.

We have no idea, really, of what all the different type of microflora that make up our biomes are, much less the healthy ratio of what they should bear to each other. I would suspect that our individual gut microbiomes are as unique as we are.

I guess this means we keep juicing, eating as healthy as we can in between, exercising, and enjoying life as much as possible. As the man in "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" said, we need to make health the priority, not wealth. So true.
