Parkinson’s disease (PD), the natural Parkinson’s disease treatment is divided into 2 parts hope you enjoy reading this one and found it very beneficial to those who are stricken with Parkinson’s disease. (PD) is a degenerative disease affecting the nervous system. The underlying cause is unknown, but symptoms appear when there is a lack of dopamine in brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that carries messages from one nerve cell to another. In healthy persons, it exists in balance with another. Neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. In people with what is called primary Parkinson’s disease, the substantia nigra the area of the brain containing cells that manufacture dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin are damaged or dying, and the brain loses the ability to manufacture these chemicals.

The disease may start almost imperceptibly, with a mild to moderate tremor of the hand or hands while at rest, a general slow and heavy feeling, muscular stiffness, bradykinesia

(Slowness of movement), and a tendency to tire more easily than usual. Later symptoms may include muscular rigidity; drooling; loss of appetite; a stooped, shuffling gait; tremors, including a characteristic “pill rolling” movement in which the thumb and forefinger rub against each other; impaired speech; and a fixed facial expression. The body gradually becomes rigid and the limbs stiffen. Depression and or dementia may accompany the physical symptoms.

Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common debilitating diseases in the United States. It affects men more often than women. Recent statistics indicate that 1 in every 200persons over the age of sixty is affected.

While the cause of the loss of brain cells that causes Parkinson’s disease remains unknown, a number of different theories have been developed. One hypothesis is that the cells are destroyed by toxins within the body that the liver is unable to filter out, metabolize or detoxify because as the body ages, the liver loses its ability to work as effectively and as efficiently as it once did. Another theory is that exposure to environmental toxins, such as herbicides and pesticides that leach into ground water, is responsible.
