Parkinson’s May Actually Originate From Microbes in the Gut

The Root Cause?

In the many studies that seek to decode the mystery that is Parkinson’s disease, scientists have confined their search to the brain. However, new research suggests that the neurodegenerative disease may actually originate in the gut. The study is detailed in the journal Cell.

I wonder if something similar may apply to Alzheimers, a dread disease not always appreciated for how agonizing it really is.

Probably. If Parkinson's then Alzheimers's too, likely.

Anyone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's knows how horrific it is. I'd rather we beat the neurodegenerative diseases before we beat cancer, to be honest.

From about a year ago my wife started to loose weight, shake and became unable to walk without my assistance. She shuffled about hunched over like Mohammed Ali did. I had to buy her a wheelchair to get to the hospital across the road.

The doc had her run tests and it was found she had a gut infection and was put on 2 different antibiotics for 2 months. She has now put on weight, no longer shuffles and can walk with me to the supermarket 1km away. The wheelchair is idle and used as a clothes hanger.

Amazing story Oopsie, so glad your wife's health has improved.

Fermented foods are gaining popularity because they improve gut health.

Well they say your gut microbes are like a phantom organ, without them you would be dead in days so they are very influential in human health.
