Speaking of pathogen's, does anyone with PD have or have been treated for H. pylori caused ulcers?

Our mouse model demonstrates a direct effect of H. pylori infection on development of Parkinson’s disease. Age dependence, locomotor defects, and neurodegeneration all parallel disease parameters seen in humans. The observation that not all H. pylori strains are equally able to cause Parkinson’s disease will allow us to investigate bacterial factors and/or immune response to H. pylori infection that increase the risk for Parkinson’s disease. Our ability to induce disease using H. pylori extracts will allow us to investigate how modified cholesterol or other substances are taken up in the GI tract and transmitted to the brain.
