DHA Protects Against Parkinson’s
A rather amazing mouse study has just shown that DHA, an important omega-3 essential fatty acid that is known to support healthy brain function, completely protected the brains of mice exposed to a known toxin that routinely produces Parkinson’s disease.Read More: DHA, essential fatty acids, Leptinal®, omega 3, Parkinson's, protective, Super EFA
Low LDL Cholesterol Associated with Parkinson’s Risk
It is a rather sad commentary on American Heart Association’s and Big Pharma’s aggressive marketing of statin drugs that their abnormally low proposed levels of LDL cholesterol for heart health (<90) are the very same levels associated with a new study’s findings for a significantly increased risk for Parkinson’s disease.Read More: LDL cholesterol, Parkinson's, statins
Carnosine Helps Parkinson’s Patients
Combining the nutrient carnosine with traditional Parkinson’s treatment resulted in significant improvement in neurologic symptoms and antioxidant function, with no side effects.Read More: Carnosine, Parkinson's
Parkinson’s Clearly Linked to Pesticide Exposure
In patients with Parkinson’s 76% have elevated levels of a pesticide called beta-HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane), compared to 40% of controls. Pesticide exposure has been implicated as a Parkinson’s risk factor for some time, but this is the first study linking a specific pesticide to Parkinson’s diseaseRead More: bet-HCH, Parkinson's, pesticides, toxins
Linking Appetite and Parkinson’s
Your stomach may be more powerful than you think. Its appetite hormone, ghrelin, has now been found to protect the dopamine nerves in your brain, a finding that is relevant to any person at risk for Parkinson’s.Read More: appetite hormone, dopamine, Ghrelin, Leptin Control Pack®, Leptinal®, LeptiSlim®, Parkinson's, PhosphatidylSerine PS
History of Constipation is a Risk for Parkinson’s Disease
A history of constipation dating back 20 or more years, long before the onset of any symptoms, increases the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by 248%. The research was carried out at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. It analyzed the detailed medical records of residents of Olmsted County.Read More: Digestive Helper, Fiber Helper™, Leptin Control Pack®, Leptinal®, LeptiSlim®, Motility Helper™, Parkinson's, Super Dophilus
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine Protect Against Parkinson’s
Nerve cells have very high energy requirements to sustain healthy function. As a component in any problem of neurological malfunction and deterioration that is a corresponding decline in nerve cell energy production. A new study shows that a combination of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine were synergistically able to maintain nerve cell energy production, even in the face of experimentally induced Parkinson’s.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Lipoic Acid, Parkinson's, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
Pantethine Prevents Injury to Dopamine Neurons
Dopamine is the key transmitter in your brain associated with motivation and drive, and is linked to reward. Alterations in dopamine function manifest in different ways and can be as basic as excessive food cravings or stress intolerance or as advanced as major depression, addiction, Parkinson’s, and even psychosis/schizophrenia. A new study shows that pantethine has the ability to directly protect dopamine neurons.Read More: dopamine, Pantethine, Parkinson's, Super B Complex
Can Blueberries Protect Against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s?
Professor Douglas Kell of the University of Manchester has published an extensive article explaining how uncontrolled iron is a common theme in many degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's wherein the inflammatory gene signal NF-kappaB is inappropriately activated and excessive cell death results. Blueberries--along with other antioxidants--may be the answer, as the blueberries have been found to be a potent natural iron chelator.Read More: Alzheimer's, Blueberries, free radical damage, NF-kappaB, Parkinson's
Berries Lower Parkinson’s Risk
A newly released study followed 49,281 men and 80,336 women for 20-22 years. It found that those that ate the most berries had a 40% risk reduction for developing Parkinson’s disease.Read More: anthocyanins, Blueberries, Parkinson's
