Can Pesticides cause Parkinson's Disease? 
Can Pesticides cause Parkinson’s Disease?
New research evidence from investigators who looked at nearly 3000 people in five European countries suggests that the more pesticide you are exposed to, the higher your risk of developing the disease.
To protect oneself:
1. If you work in gardens avoid chemical pesticides.
2. If you must use them wear protective rubber gloves, closed shoes (and leave them outside in the garage so you don’t bring the contaminated dirt into the house).
3. Wear a mask and protective clothing.
4. For everyone, buy produce that is organic and pesticide/fungicide free.
The study showed:
1. People with Parkinson’s who used pesticides regularly but at a low level were 9% more like to get the disease than controls.
2. High exposure farmers were 43% more likely to get the disease.
In my clinical experience we find that people with severe neurological disease, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimers, ALS, or MS have not only pesticides as part of the their brain toxin profile, but nearly all have low grade viral or bacterial infections. Chemicals such a PCBs, dioxins, and heavy metals that poison the brain and contribute to the illness.
For this reason I am recommending the following to help prevent this occurrence:
1. Eat organic
2. Garden organically
3. Daily sauna
4. Ensure you have at least one bowel movement per day and preferably two (common among people with brain disease is chronic constipation)
5. In addition, you can learn from these studies the importance that detosification has upon how well the body is able to function. For optimal wellness, consider BodyDetox." Body Detox supplement which helps the body to detox chemicals, pesticides and heavy metals. One of the most important parts of Body Detox is that there are over 350 homeopathic imprinted frequencies to the most common pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, heavy metals and carcinogens to trigger the body to be alert to them so they can be eliminated more easily.
