Default B-12 deficiency in PD

Muireann provided this must see video link in another thread, but there is some interesting research emerging on B-12 and PD...

Vitamin B12-impaired metabolism produces apoptosis and Parkinson phenotype in rats expressing the transcobalamin-oleosin chimera in substantia nigra.


Just had my levels checked last week, so now I really anticipate results. I almost feel like it is worth it to start a list of all things causing Parkinsonism and testing when applicable. Wonder how many of us would still be in the Idiopathic PD group?
