In an in-depth study published in the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, results confirm that people who live with PD will be able to improve their gait and balance, as well as […]

(Natural News) A study published in the journal Science Signaling has revealed that teaching roundworms to sniff out a certain type of bacterium has led them to develop a defense mechanism to preserve their brain cells. The findings show potential as a drug-free intervention against neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Huntington’s disease, the researchers have stated. […]

(Natural News) The function and insight of the five traditional senses — hearing, sight, touch, taste, and smell — can tell us a lot about the state of health inside our bodies. For example, researchers from Michigan State University have correlated a poor sense of smell to early onset of Parkinson’s disease. The olfactory nerve […]

(Natural News) A recent study by scientists from Northwestern University discovered that treating neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease (PD) with antioxidants may halt degeneration and improve neuronal function, as reported by the Science Daily. Moreover, the study, which was published in Science, found that mouse models of PD did not have the same abnormalities that […]

(Natural News) The more low-fat dairy a person consumes in a day, the greater their risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, claim researchers from Harvard University.

(Natural News) A recent study published in Movement Disorders revealed that changes in gut bacterial communities may serve as an early indicator of Parkinson’s disease. It was previously inferred that the debilitating neurological disease may be caused by outside factors. According to the “dual hit” hypothesis, an unknown pathogen may enter the human body through the nose […]
