Specific Pesticide Directly Linked to Parkinson's Disease

NaturalNews has previously reported (http://www.naturalnews.com/026177_d...) how research is pointing more and more to a "smoking gun" behind Parkinson's. It appears PD doesn't just strike at random. Instead, it is most likely triggered by chemicals in the environment that are literally toxic to the human brain. Now a new study has zeroed in on one specific suspect -- a pesticide called B-hexachlorocyclohexane (B-HCH).

If I may keep beating the drum for the Inflammation Theory, the bacterial toxin LPS synergizes with at least some pesticides and toxins to make the result even worse.
