New evidence suggests Parkinson’s might start in the gut, not the brain

New evidence suggests Parkinson’s might start in the gut, not the brain
A new study adds to a growing body of research that suggests we might have been thinking about Parkinson’s disease wrong this whole time.
Instead of being isolated to the brain, new evidence in mice suggests that the condition might actually start in the gut. And it could explain some of the strange coincidences seen in the disease, such as why most Parkinson’s patients complain of constipation up to a decade before other symptoms arise.

Prediagnostic presentations of Parkinson’s disease in primary care: a case-control study
Findings
8166 individuals with and 46 755 individuals without Parkinson’s disease were included in the study. Apathy, REM sleep behaviour disorder, anosmia, hypersalivation, and cognitive decline were all reported in less than 1% of people per 1000 person-years and were excluded from further analyses. At 2 years before Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, the incidence of all studied prediagnostic features except neck pain or stiffness was higher in patients who went on to develop Parkinson’s disease (n=7232) than in controls (n=40 541). At 5 years before diagnosis, compared with controls (n=25 544), patients who went on to develop Parkinson’s disease (n=4769) had a higher incidence of tremor (RR 13·70, 95% CI 7·82–24·31), balance impairments (2·19, 1·09–4·16), constipation (2·24, 2·04–2·46), hypotension (3·23, 1·85–5·52), erectile dysfunction (1·30, 1·11–1·51), urinary dysfunction (1·96, 1·34–2·80), dizziness (1·99, 1·67–2·37), fatigue (1·56, 1·27–1·91), depression (1·76, 1·41–2·17), and anxiety (1·41, 1·09–1·79). At 10 years before diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, the incidence of tremor (RR 7·59, 95% CI 1·11–44·83) and constipation (2·01, 1·62–2·49) was higher in those who went on to develop Parkinson’s disease (n=1680) than in controls (n=8305).
Interpretation
A range of prediagnostic features can be detected several years before diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in primary care. These data can be incorporated into ongoing efforts to identify individuals at the earliest stages of the disease for inclusion in future trials and to help understand progression in the earliest phase of Parkinson’s disease.

Aluminum adjuvants of vaccines injected into the muscle: Normal fate, pathology and associated disease.

Study – Aluminum adjuvants of vaccines injected into the muscle: Normal fate, pathology and associated disease.
Safety concerns largely depend on the long biopersistence time inherent to this adjuvant, which may be related to its quick withdrawal from the interstitial fluid by avid cellular uptake; and the capacity of adjuvant particles to migrate and slowly accumulate in lymphoid organs and the brain, a phenomenon documented in animal models and resulting from MCP1/CCL2-dependant translocation of adjuvant-loaded monocyte-lineage cells (Trojan horse phenomenon). These novel insights strongly suggest that serious re-evaluation of long-term aluminum adjuvant phamacokinetics and safety should be carried out.

Natural health expert and Mercola.com founder Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History, talk about the forgotten history of vaccinations.

By Dr. Mercola
Vaccines are one of the most controversial medical therapies, and it’s impossible to make an informed decision unless you know both sides of the story. In the process of knowing both sides, the historical context is critical.

Aluminum (pronounced and spelled “aluminium” in Europe) is a known neurotoxin, and scientific evidence shows that it can play a significant role in neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson’s disease.
Common routes of exposure include antiperspirants, food, aluminum-based household products, and vaccines

Dr Humphries in Tampere, Finland, November 2015. Hear the arguments that pro-vaccine doctors make about aluminum (called aluminium in Europe), and the science (or lack there-of) behind it. Dr. Suzanne breaks down the issue of aluminum into fine detail to help you discuss this issue which is an Achilles heel in the vaccination argument.

Many of today’s pro-vaccine elite insist that aluminum in infant and child vaccines is totally harmless. Find out the real truth, with scientific back up. Dr Suzanne Humphries, Internist and Nephrologist, has studied out the issue and shows that Paul Offit’s absurd claim that aluminum ‘plays an important role in the development of a healthy fetus’ is completely made up. Such statements from a leading vaccine educator are flat out dangerous.
This is a clip from a 5 hour seminar on Infant Immunity from last year. The focus in this clip is aluminum. In New Zealand and Europe, aluminum is spelled and pronounced aluminium.

Vaccines, Retroviruses, DNA, and the Discovery That Destroyed Judy Mikovits’ Career

Vaccines, Retroviruses, DNA, and the Discovery That Destroyed Judy Mikovits’ Career
In 2011, she made the discovery that destroyed her career. She found that at least 30% of our vaccines are contaminated with gammaretroviruses. Not only is this contamination associated with autism and chronic fatigue syndrome, it is also associated with Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Alzheimer’s.
When she released this shocking information, she was warned by Dr. Andrew Wakefield that she would become a target, just as he had been. But she assured him that all of her work had been properly reviewed and, of course, she was safe.
She was wrong. She was threatened and told to destroy her data; she refused. She was fired, then arrested for supposedly stealing her data from her worksite. She had been facing charges and was bound by a gag order from the court for the last four years. Recently, charges were dropped and the gag order was lifted. Dr. Mikovits is now free to talk, and boy is she talking.
The retroviruses contaminating vaccines originate from mice used for research. Dr. Mikovits asks, “How many new retroviruses have we created through all the mouse research, the vaccine research, gene therapy research? More importantly, how many new diseases have we created?”
“When they destroyed all of our work, and discredited everything I or Frank Ruscetti had ever published, and arranged for the publication of my mug shot in Science, the NIH very deliberately sent the message to researchers everywhere about what would happen to any honest scientist who dared ask those important questions.”
New technology now exists to clean up retroviruses in vaccines and blood. Dr. Mikovits believes we will win this war, that we will eventually clean up vaccines, stop vaccinating infants, and stop injecting our children with multiple vaccines. But she also believes the government will continue to cover up their culpability in the current epidemic of autism and other diseases.
When asked about vaccine-injured children, she says, “Those are the victims. And that’s why, I’m working and why, you know, I’ll never shut up. Because they’re the victims that have been hung out to dry.”
