Parkinson s disease. Strangely enough, death due to the neurodegenerative disorder, marked by loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the midbrain,

And therein lies the answer to the mystery of why nicotine could prevent a movement disorder like Parkinson s disease, due to its effects on dopamine.

To put the drug to the test, Quik treated rhesus monkeys with Parkinson s with nicotine. After eight weeks, she reported in a landmark 2007 paper in the Annals of Neurology

Even more remarkably, in monkeys already receiving L-dopa, the standard drug for Parkinson s, nicotine reduced their dyskinesias by an additional one-third.

Studies of nicotine in humans with Parkinson s are supported now under way by the Michael j fox Foundation. Other research suggests the drug may protect against the early stages of Alzheimer s disease.

A study involving sixty-seven people with mild cognitive impairment, in which memory is impaired slightly

#Eating Peppers May Lower Parkinson's Risk Regularly eating peppers may lower the risk of Parkinson's disease a new study suggests.

People in the study who ate peppers two times per week were 30 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than people who ate peppers less than once a week.

or neurons from the damage associated with Parkinson's. In Parkinson's disease up to 80 percent of the neurons that produce a chemical called dopamine which controls muscle function are damaged according to the National Parkinson Foundation.

A neurodegenerative disease Parkinson's causes a range of symptoms. The hallmark signs are tremors slowness of movement stiffness of the arms legs or trunk and problems with balance.

Approximately 1 million Americans have Parkinson's disease reports the National Parkinson Foundation. Each year 50000 to 60000 new cases are diagnosed in the United states. Â The pepper advantage In the study the researchers looked at 490 people who had been diagnosed newly with Parkinson's disease

and compared them with 644 people who did not have the condition. Participants answered a detailed questionnaire about their lifetime dietary habits and tobacco use.

Just 11 percent of those with the disease and 5 percent of people in the control grouphad a family history of the disease which can raise risk.

The researchers found that not only were associated peppers with a reduced risk of Parkinson's but also that the more peppers people consumed the greater the apparent benefit.

or more slashed their Parkinson's risk by about 50 percent compared with those who ate them less than once a week.

While there was some suggestion that tomatoes might also be associated with a reduced risk of Parkinson's it was not clear Searles Nielsen said.

While it is certainly intriguing to think that eating peppers may protect against Parkinson's disease we have to consider that there are other explanations she said.

 It is not clear from this study that family members at risk (those with a family history of Parkinson's) should rush out

and to establish potential benefits in the Parkinson's'at risk'population. Still it can't hurt to include peppers in your diet Searles Nielsen said.

Studies show this can promote inflammation which is a precursor to a variety of diseases including heart disease cancer asthma inflammatory bowel disease and even dementia and Alzheimer's.

The agriculture industry aided by pharmaceutical manufacturers could block regulation by subjecting the FDA's science to nearly infinite rounds of scrutiny specifically to achieve paralysis by analysis. Those special interests would have free rein to claim that the science was not certain that the agency had looked not at every study

However the technique of paralysis by analysis should not get even more help from our elected officials.

#Making Maps In The Brain (ISNS)--Disorientation is often one of the first warnings of Alzheimer's disease.

And because of their location in the brain they are especially susceptible to the ravages of Alzheimer's.

In humans the entorhinal cortex is one of the first areas to degenerate in Alzheimer's disease.

Studies of brain changes in Alzheimer's disease in humans consistently show localized degeneration in the same parts of the entorhinal cortex where Buffalo found grid cells in monkeys.

Two-thirds of infants whose mothers are infected with Listeria develop infections such as pneumonia sepsis or meningitis.

In 1998 research published in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience reported that people who suffer from recurrent migraines have lower intracellular levels of magnesium suggesting that a deficiency may play a role in migraine development.

Fainting goats are breed a of goats that have inherited myotonia an neurological condition that makes it difficult to relax the muscles.

A variety of other conditions are purported to benefit from melatonin supplements including Alzheimer s disease tinnitus depression chronic fatigue syndrome fibromyalgia migraine irritable bowel syndrome and epilepsy.

Melatonin may possibly be effective for cluster headaches especially when taken in nightly doses of at least 10 milligrams according to the National institutes of health.

A movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia may be helped by melatonin. Additionally melatonin may decrease sunburn when applied to the skin as a cream before sun exposure.

Migraines and other headaches may not respond to melatonin nor may fibromyalgia menopausal symptoms osteoporosis irritable bowel syndrome or tinnitus.

However melatonin may cause side effects including headache daytime sleepiness short-lived depression symptoms stomach cramps dizziness and irritability.

Onions were prescribed to alleviate headaches snakebites and hair loss. They were used also as rent payments and wedding gifts.

#Pesticides Linked to Parkinson's Risk in People with Specific Gene Several studies have linked pesticides with the development of Parkinson's disease

and now a new study has found a specific gene that may explain why some people are particularly susceptible to developing Parkinson's after exposure to certain pesticides.

Parkinson's disease results from the loss of neurons involved in processing the neurotransmitter dopamine. Researchers had previously found a gene that was involved in dopamine processing

The findings show that for people with certain genes exposure to pesticides may increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease two to six times the researchers said.

for Gene-Environment Studies in Parkinson's disease. All of this is environmental exposure not occupational exposure. It can be quite harmful.

to find out which genes might be involved in the nerve death that results in Parkinson's and to see

if there was a variant of that gene that could be found in people exposed to pesticides who developed Parkinson's. 10 Things You Didn't Know About the Brain There were four pesticides the researchers found that appear to trigger an effect on enzymes called neuronal aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHS)

The researchers then looked at exposure to those four pesticides in a group of 360 people with Parkinson's who lived in central California

but had developed not Parkinson s. They found that pesticide exposure increased the risk of Parkinson s and the risk was increased further among people with a variant of the ALDH2 gene.

Though researchers were able to identify four pesticides that might be responsible for this effect they were not able to identify a specific pesticide as the culprit.

whether a treatment can be created to reduce the susceptibility of certain people to Parkinson's if they have the gene variant.

Can we predict who might develop Parkinson's? Would they want to take meds? These are need questions we to answer Ritz said.

But in view of the Congressional paralysis giving states this sort of latitude is probably the best way to go within the constraints of the Clean Air Act.#

If you take a painkiller to alleviate the headache that may come with dehydration this might leave you with a clearer mind to figure out what ails you

Extremely high amounts of Vitamin c can lead to problems like diarrhea nausea abdominal pain heartburn vomiting headaches and insomnia.

And people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and dementia often have low Vitamin b12 levels. However studies have not conclusively shown that Vitamin b12 supplements will improve memory or thinking skills in the elderly in Alzheimer's patients in dementia patients or among stroke survivors.

The NIH's Office of Dietary Supplements says that more large clinical trials are needed to prove

As a supplement magnesium is touted to prevent hearing loss kidney stones and migraine headaches. Magnesium supplements are claimed also to improve athletic performance

or treating osteoporosis. Guidelines from the American Headache Society and the American Academy of Neurology say magnesium is probably effective for migraine prevention.

However the guidelines recommend the nutritional supplement butterbur over magnesium to prevent migraines. The National Library of Medicine and the NIH determined that magnesium may help people with chronic fatigue syndrome and pain from fibromyalgia.

Scientific evidence also indicates that magnesium may help PMS high cholesterol kidney stones hearing loss asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD.

I'll look at two examples polio and pertussis which is commonly known as whooping cough. No one has gotten polio from the newer polio vaccine.

Before 2000 pediatricians in the U s. routinely gave kids a polio vaccine that contained live attenuated polio virus. Now American kids get a vaccine with an inactivated

or killed virus. Very rarely the live virus in the older vaccine could actually revert to its natural state and cause paralysis a tragic consequence.

Some people in the world still deal with this risk. Live attenuated polio vaccines are used in some regions where polio is endemic

because those who get the live attenuated vaccine are able to pass on their immunity to others around them which helps spread immunity more quickly.

Different countries must judge the risks and benefits of the oral polio vaccine differently; even the U s. had judged once the live attenuated vaccine worth the risk

No one has gotten polio from the newer polio vaccine. Before the 1990s kids in the U s. got a pertussis vaccine with severe potential side effects ranging from fever to fainting fits.

Among children who contract measles one in 1000 get encephalitis an acute brain infection and one or two in 1000 die.

A Harvard study linked aluminum and fluoride to ADHD Alzheimer's and dementia. These are brain issues kind of like Autism.

Note the insistence of only discussing polio and pertussis. No article defending vaccines covers any others than these!
