New study in journal Frontiers;
The disease is primarily caused by environmental factors, that is, environmental exposure to the Desulfovibrio bacterial strains that cause Parkinson's disease.
"Only a small share, or roughly 10 percent, of Parkinson’s disease is caused by individual genes.”
To get their results the team used a type of worm as their model organism.
They found that in patients with Parkinson’s disease the bacteria strain caused an accumulation of the α-synuclein protein, primarily found in the brain and spinal cord, at a statistically significant level.
The researchers believe that these findings could help to cure or prevent Parkinson’s disease in patients.
Professor Saris added: “Our findings make it possible to screen for the carriers of these harmful Desulfovibrio bacteria.
"Consequently, they can be targeted by measures to remove these strains from the gut, potentially alleviating and slowing the symptoms of patients with Parkinson’s disease.”
Just makes me wonder if that spiritual guru that promotes celery juice is into something as he’s basically promoted for years the fact that most diseases are caused by parasites or bacteria.
I also recently saw another study pointing to endometriosis like symptoms being mimicked by a parasite.
