Default That infection has to go
One of the key foundations underlying PD is an overly zealous immune response in the brain. <Pause to inform the new faces that everything that I post has an implied IMHO attached. >

As a result of that response, infection anywhere in the body causes a flareup in the brain that does two things: it kills neurons and it puts neuroactive chemicals into the soup that disrupts everything else.

Read all about it in mind numbing detail on my blog here.
