New Parkinson's Treatment - Scientific Breakthrough Discovers Root Cause

Parkinson’s disease was first described in the early 1800s when Dr James Parkinson wrote a paper on what he called ‘the Shaking Palsy’. Surprisingly Dr Parkinson managed to relate the symptoms to a fault in the brain however at the time he knew nothing of the true cause. Thankfully much has been learnt about the disease since then and there are now a number of effective treatments to slow down its progress.
Parkinson's Disease is a slowly progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, muscle control and balance. Symptoms include tremors, slowed movement and postural instability. Other features include rigidity, flexed posture, freezing phenomenon and loss of postural reflexes. Patients can experience depression, sleep disturbances, dizziness and problems with speech, swallowing and sexual functioning.
Traditional research has concentrated on viral infection, genetics, environmental toxins, and endogenous toxins.
Now there’s a new scientific breakthrough that looks promising for preventing and even reversing Parkinson's disease. Your own Doctor would probably not have heard about it yet, and the Drug companies will scowl knowing that their pockets will be lighter by several millions.
So what is the cure I hear you ask, and why have I not heard of it before?
To answer that let me explain what I’m talking about. Firstly a group of scientists began to look for the root cause that starts everything off. Their findings have led to tests, which proved remarkable if not, miraculous. These tests were just limited to Parkinson’s, as there are many other modern diseases similar like Alzheimer’s.
This reversal process is still relatively new, although already it has helped thousands of people get back to some form of normality. Whether it will cure 100% is not sure, but it will make a great difference to any sufferers.
