Parkinson's profile suggested: hard workers, straight arrows

[Mr_Spock]

By Carey Goldberg, Globe Staff | February 25, 2006

They tend not to smoke, drink, or seek thrills. They work hard. They show up on time, keep their homes neat, and follow complex medical instructions to the letter.

Doctors have noticed for decades that their Parkinson's disease patients often seem to share certain personality traits.

Now, a growing body of research, including surveys of Parkinson's patients and laboratory studies in mice, suggests that the disease, which afflicts more than a half-million Americans and has no cure, really does tend to strike straight arrows.

The apparent link between Parkinson's and a certain personality raises the question of whether the disease begins years or even decades before the onset of symptoms such as tremors, slowness of movement, and rigidity. That possibility, a topic under discussion at this week's World Parkinson Congress in Washington, has gained currency, raising the prospect that if the disease can be detected earlier, perhaps someday it can be prevented.

1. Boy is that interesting.

I know two people right now (actually one just died) with Parkinsons and they both fit that profile to a T.

Well, I know i won't get Parkinsons. That's great news for me. I love my vices.

4. Well, good for you.

I think decadence is a really good thing - as long as you don't do it all the time.

5. Well, I'll drink to that.

6. Good to know living in squalor is good for something

along with my colorful, if remote, drug history.

7. hubby has Parkinson's and is a huge risk taker

biker, etc.

But one thing he has in common with Parkinson's friends we know....they are all type triple AAA's - high achievers. There was a study done two years ago saying the same thing... very sucessful businessmen, doctors, professionals ect.

8. Two of most common causes of Parkinson's are pesticides & mercury

as documented by lots of medical studies and clinical experience.

I use BioCleanse/IonCleanse detox system for detox from toxic metals and pesticides and such for my family(and some friends).

And Dr. Perlmutter is a Neurologist in Naples Florida who has a good treatment for Parkinson's. He looks into mercury toxicity,
deals with it if found, and he uses glutathione treatment I believe. His clinic is recommended as the best in the world for such conditions by the past Editor of the Journal of the American Medical Assoc., the #1 medical journal in U.S.

and its also been found that root-canaled teeth and cavitations(tooth extraction sites that didn't heal properly- especially wisdom teeth sites) You can test for these by TOPAS test(www.altcorp.com) of using the CAVITAT test. see CAVITAT web site.

And its also documented by lots of clinical cases that its possible to have significant improvement if you find the cause and deal
with it- which usually involves detox.

Colonics has also been found to be helpful at detox in chronic conditions, or the Gerson Clinic detox program.

Hulda Clark's cleanups and cleanses are another option that is likely to help.
