Slash Your Risk of Parkinson's by 50 Percent
Parkinson's can strike at anyone at any age.
Find out what happened to this young Mum.
Confusion gradually gave way to fear as the young mom found it difficult
to complete even simple tasks. A five-minute drive to the grocery store became
a real challenge.
Over the next three years she gave up gardening all together. Just
looking after her children was more than she could handle. She went to several
neurologists but they were baffled.
"It was increasingly difficult to walk and hold things in my hands," she
says. "I was stooped and shuffling like an old person."
Finally, Nicky went to a specialist in the UK. And to her horror, she
discovered she had Parkinson's. She couldn't believe it and went to several
other doctors. She followed up with test after test...
But she finally had to accept the truth: she had Parkinson's. There was
no cure... and her life would never be the same again.
Parkinson's usually affects people in their 50s. Only one person in 20
gets it before age 30.
It's a debilitating disease that can strike anyone at any time. In fact,
50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's each year.
"Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous
system," says Dr. Jonny Bowden. "It plays havoc with motor skills and speech,
and that's just the beginning."
As the disease progresses, it can cause total immobility and death. There
is no cure for Parkinson's. But we may be able to prevent it.
Recent research says safe and simple remedies may be able to slow or even
stop the spread of Parkinson's. And the latest findings show that deficiency in
one natural mineral skyrockets your risk of Parkinson's by 50 percent.
Parkinson's Packs Devastating Punch
Parkinson's can strike anyone at any age. But, while Parkinson's can
affect young people like Nicky, the single biggest risk factor is aging.
There are often warning signs... slowed movement, tremors, and failing
mental powers. But the disease can progress very quickly.
"End-stage Parkinson's is marked by dementia, immobility, personality
disorders and death," says Parkinson's expert Julius Goepp, MD.
As Parkinson's progresses, your neurons deteriorate. And that's bad news
because they control motor and memory function.
"The destruction of these neurons drives the devastation seen in
Parkinson's victims," says Dr. Goepp. He says the destructive process is
triggered by oxidative stress and inflammation.
And that's where there's hope... because antioxidants can reverse some of
this damage.
Tired of Trying to Keep Track of Everything You're
Supposed to Be Scared Of?
Cancer, heart attacks, strokes, fatigue, aging, arthritis... You know
they're out there, they're killers, and they have too many causes to count...
But if you had to worry about them all, you'd end up a paranoid ball of
stress. That's no way to go through life.
Wouldn't it relieve the stress if you knew you had the most powerful and
fastest cures at hand if and when you ever have to face them?
Read on to learn how a private research team can give you exactly that...
Slowing Parkinson's Progress
"Nutrients can prevent brain cell damage which produces Parkinson's
disease," says Dr. Goepp.
And the most recent research shows that there are five minerals that
offer hope. These include:
a.. B vitamins
b.. carnitine
c.. green tea extract
d.. omega-3 fatty acids
e.. resveratrol
"Nutrients that protect against oxidant damage are among the leads for
anti-Parkinson's therapies," he says.
One study shows that vitamin B6 deficiency increases your risk of
Parkinson's disease by 50 percent.
Scientists used a hospital-based, case-control study to explore the
effect of B vitamins on Parkinson's disease.
They used 617 people in their study. 249 had Parkinson's disease; the
other 368 did not. They then looked at dietary history and discovered that
those deficient in vitamin B6 had a 50 percent higher risk of Parkinson's.
A 2006 study published in Neurology confirmed that people who had more
than 230.9 mcg of vitamin B6 each day had a 54 percent lower risk of
Parkinson's disease than those who had less than 185.1 mcg each day.
Finally, neurologists supplemented Parkinson's patients with vitamin B6.
They reported great improvements in motor skills after supplementation. And
noted deterioration after stopping them.
Carnitine may be able to prevent Parkinson's through managing brain
energy.
Mount Sinai Medical Center slowed the effects of Parkinson's disease when
they treated monkeys with carnitine.
Chinese researchers combined carnitine with lipoic acid. The combo
prevented Parkinson's progress in human neural cells. They found that the
combo, applied over four weeks, protected cells from oxidation.
The combination of the two supplements was 1,000-times more effective
than either nutrient used alone.
"This study [shows] that [these] nutrients [are] an effective and safe
prevention strategy for Parkinson's," said researchers.
Green tea may combat Parkinson's diseases, says Israeli neuroscientist
Sylvia Mandel. That's because it contains polyphenols which protect against
age-related conditions.
Researchers showed they could prevent cellular changes in mice by
pre-treating them with green tea extracts.
Several labs around the world have since repeated these findings. The
first team also showed that green tea prevents the inflammation of brain cells,
which triggers Parkinson's.
Other research shows that green tea increases dopamine in brain tissue...
which reduces the severity of symptoms.
Omega-3 fatty acids are your body's best defense against inflammation. In
fact they balance infection and inflammation. Science shows that age, oxidative
stress, and Parkinson's decrease their concentration in nerve cells.
Researchers in Norway have shown that omega-3 modifies brain functions
and is a natural defense against Parkinson's.
And Japanese scientists have shown that omega-3s prevent cell death as a
result of inflammation. They found that omega-3s worked best when used prior to
Parkinson's. Lab animals that were given omega-3s prior to being injected with
Parkinson's showed bigger benefits than those given supplements afterwards.
Canadian researchers have developed this theory. They took two groups of
mice and fed one a high omega-3 diet... and one a low-omega-3 diet for 10
months prior to injection. After injection, the low-omega-3 group showed quick
mental and motor decline. The omega-3 group actually showed no adverse effects
at all.
Resveratrol may prevent the disease by targeting oxidative stress and
inflammation. These processes are key to regulating brain function.
Scientists have found that exposure to resveratrol stops cell loss and
preserves mitochondrial function. In 2008 Canadian scientists showed that
resveratrol prevents brain cell death caused by inflammation.
Chinese researchers also explored this anti-inflammatory action. They
injected a Parkinson's-inducing chemical into rats. They then gave them
resveratrol each day for 10 weeks. As early as two weeks into the experiment,
the rats showed big improvements in their disorders. Further exams showed big
reductions in cell damage.
Scientists concluded that "resveratrol exerts a protective effect on
Parkinson's disease. This protection is related to the reduced inflammatory
reaction."
