Rick, I see the pd process in much the same way. Any and everything that causes stress on any of our systems is, collectively, the cause of PD. Stress gobbles dopamine. The dopamine producers, those neurons in the SN, are exhausted and can't meet the demand for dopamine which is unrelenting. Then finally after decades of this, they quit, one by one, as supplies are runnning low too.....and when 70% are down and out, it starts showing up noticeably somewhere in the muscles....often along places that have been injured way back and never quite healed or simply are out of place..and out of "tensegrity" for so long.
We have to keep on learning about what can be changed and how - it really is a comprehensive overhaul! And now we can be gene/geo specific too! The future will have special pd spas with therapies and remedies for all things stressful - physically, mentally, and emotionally and available to all
For now I go from Chiro to Physical Therapist to Massage to what I can, as I can.
I'd like to see MJFF fund a place for recovery using all available necessary natural means. Can you get behind this dream?

Nurture Over Nature: Certain Genes Are Turned On Or Off By Geography And Lifestyle, Study Suggests
...."The most important implication of this study is that people with the same genetic makeup can be in different environments and have different expression profiles," Idaghdour says. "The same gene can be expressed in the city but not in a rural place because of the environment. So you must look at the environment when studying associations between genes and disease.".... |
