Parkinson's Parkinson's Background Causes Symptoms ... Resources Parkinson's The recent news concerning Michael J. Fox and his bought with Parkinson's Disease has raised a red flag for all men. It's important that we notice the flag and begin thinking about all areas of mental and physical health while we're healthy. Starting in early teen years with testicular cancer, and through our productive years into retirement, we can definitely live longer, healthier lives, if we catch our mind and body in early stages to fix it and not wait until it's "broke". "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is not something we should adhere to regarding our bodies, minds, relationships, parenting, and all other aspects of our lives. Michael is only 37 years old and he started having symptoms seven years ago (at 30). U. S. Attorney General Janet Reno also suffers from Parkinson's but the most memorable celebrity to expose his vulnerability about having the disease is Muhammed Ali. neuro-chief-e.mgh.harvard.edu/parkinsonsweb/Main/Support/youngpark.html Background Parkinson's disease, which mostly afflicts older people, results from gradual degeneration of nerve cells in the portion of the midbrain that controls body movements. The first signs are likely to be barely noticeable - a feeling of weakness or stiffness in one limb, perhaps, or a fine trembling of one hand when it is at rest (activity causes the tremor to disappear). Eventually, the shaking will worsen and spread, muscles will tend to stiffen, and balance and coordination will deteriorate. Depression and other mental or emotional problems are common.

Overview of Parkinson's Disease Causes Symptoms ... Home Page Alternative Medicines and Holistic Care for Parkinson's Disease Conventional medications are the current standard of care and have been well studied with large scale, controlled trials. However, there are alternative therapies that are of interest. Unfortunately, large scale controlled trials have not been performed for alternative approaches. Thus it is difficult to comment on the safety or efficacy of these medications. For example, chelation therapy and IV glutathione are available as alternative therapies but have not been studied according to strict scientific methods. Vitamins and Other Supplements One mechanism by which the disease progresses may be due to oxidative stress. As dopamine is metabolized in the brain, oxygen radicals are created which can then further damage dopamine producing cells accelerating progression of the disease. Reducing oxidative stress by using vitamins and other antioxidants may be helpful. Recent studies show that Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q-10 show a trend towards reducing risk of PD or slowing disease progression. However, the exact dosages that are likely to be effective have yet to be determined. Large-scale clinical trails are required to confirm these trends.

Comprehensive review of the latest research into Parkinson's disease with emphasis on prevention and complementary and alternative treatments Parkinson's Disease: Is Victory in Sight? by Hans R. Larsen, MSc ChE If research into Parkinson's disease continues at its present pace this dreaded disease may well be fully understood and largely preventable early in the 21st Century. Parkinson's disease ( paralysis agitans , shaking palsy) was first described in 1817. L-dopa, the mainstay of current drug therapy was introduced in 1970 and since then hundreds of research papers have been published on the disease. It is now increasingly clear not only what causes Parkinson's, but also how it can be prevented and its relentless progress slowed down. Incidence and Symptoms Idiopathic (of no known cause) Parkinson's disease affects about one percent of the population over the age of 60 years in the United States. It is more common among men than among women and also seems to be more widespread in northern countries. The incidence of the disease increases with age although aging itself is not believed to be a causative factor. Parkinson's disease is rarely inherited and less than one per cent of all cases are thought to have a genetic component. At this time there is no medical cure for the condition, but drugs that alleviate the symptoms and slow the progress of the disease are available(1-5). The main symptom of Parkinson's disease is a pronounced tremor affecting the extremities notably the hands, chin or lips. The tremor is most evident at rest and disappears with movement. Other characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease are stiffness or slowness of movement, a shuffling walk, stooped posture, and difficulties in performing simple tasks. Memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction are rarely encountered in early stage Parkinson's disease. Depression is, however, a common feature and about 30 per cent of Parkinson's disease victims eventually develop Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia(1-3,6-8).

In interviews he states that he is leaving so as to concentrate on his battle with the disease and his advocacy for a cure. Michael J. Fox is a very visible victim of this neurological disorder, but not your typical victim. Parkinson's is usually thought of as a disease of aging. The average age of onset is 60 years of age. Parkinson's is one of a group of diseases classified as a motor system disorder. Its most obvious symptoms are tremors or trembling of the hands, arms legs and face, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, slowness of movements and impaired balance and coordination. It is a chronic, progressive disease with symptoms growing worse over time and leading to total disability and dependence. Along with the visible symptoms the person with Parkinson's will also have difficulty swallowing and talking. The person with Parkinson's is very likely to be depressed and have weight loss due to decreased appetite and difficulty swallowing. The exact cause of Parkinson's is not known.

They defined its range of symptoms, distribution among the population, and prospects for cure. In the early 1960s, researchers identified a fundamental brain defect that is a hallmark of the disease: the loss of brain cells that produce a chemical - dopamine - that helps direct muscle activity. This discovery pointed to the first successful treatment for Parkinson's disease and suggested ways of devising new and even more effective therapies.

By Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD In October 2003, Brazilian researchers published a study entitled: High doses of riboflavin and the elimination of dietary red meat promote the recovery of some motor functions in Parkinson's disease patients.” Upon learning of this news, naturally many folks with PD wanted to know more about the diet – what foods and supplements were used or excluded, and whether the diet would be helpful for them. These are good questions and deserve a thoughtful response. It’s important to bear in mind that this information is based on one small study, and more studies are needed. Thirty-one subjects were enrolled, and only 19 remained for the entire six months of the study. Although the results are encouraging, it cannot be categorically stated that this plan will be helpful for everyone with PD. However, it is an important study and should be viewed with respect. Here are some reasons why: All of the people originally enrolled in the study were found to be deficient in riboflavin (vitamin B2)

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? Parkinson's disease is a disease of the central nervous system that causes problems with body motions, including tremor (shakiness), rigidity (muscle stiffness), slowed body movements, unstable posture and difficulty walking. It happens when nerve cells (neurons) in a part of the brain called the substantia nigra gradually die. These cells normally produce dopamine, a chemical that helps to relay messages between areas of the brain that control body movement. The death of cells in this area of the brain leads to abnormally low levels of dopamine, which makes it difficult for a person with Parkinson's disease to control muscle tension and muscle movement, both at rest and during periods of activity.

About us Investors Media Join us ... Sleep disorders Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disruption of the central nervous system. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disease caused by lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Parkinson's disease is one of several motor system disorders. Parkinson's and related disorders are the result of the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells in the patient, primarily in the so-called black substance, substantia nigra. Dopamine is one of several chemical neurotransmitters responsible for transmitting signals within the brain. Loss of dopamine results in loss of normal nerve cell activity, leaving patients unable to direct or control their movement in a normal manner. The primary symptoms of Parkinson's are tremors in hands, arms, legs, and head; muscle rigidity that leaves the body immovable and the face expressionless; slowness of movement; and impaired balance and coordination. Patients may also have difficulty walking, talking, or completing simple tasks. The disease is both chronic and progressive. There are a few cases of inherited Parkinson's disease. Early symptoms can be subtle and difficult to diagnose. The disease is characterised by tremors, slow movements, stiffness in arms and legs and balance problems. Next to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder.

This causes an inadequate supply of the chemical dopamine, which controls muscle activity. As a result, severe shaking, difficulty walking and lack of coordination can occur. Steps: Look for muscle stiffness, tremors and difficulty with coordination or balance. Understand that Parkinson's usually affects one side of the body first, then can progress to the other side. Notice if you avoid swinging an arm on one side of your body when you walk. This is a common symptom of Parkinson's. You could also have trouble swallowing. Realize that your face may suddenly seem to lack expression because your muscles are no longer working the way they used to. Understand that you may begin talking more quietly than you used to; your voice could become raspy.

The most common primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease include shakes of the hands, arms, legs, jaw; stiffness of the limbs and trunk; slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination. There are also many secondary symptoms of Parkinson's disease. These include speech changes, loss of facial expression, smaller, cramped handwriting; difficulty swallowing, drooling, fatigue and aching, sleep disturbances, constipation, depression, fear or anxiety, memory difficulties and slowed thinking, and sexual and urinary problems. The symptoms vary from patient to patient and not everyone is affected by all of them. The disease persists over a long period of time, and its symptoms generally grow worse over time if untreated. In some people, the disease progresses quickly; in others it does not. Why an individual develops Parkinson's disease remains unknown. The causes likely include both genetic and environmental factors.

L-Dopa Brand Names: Dopar, Larodopar, Sinemet Clinical Names: L-Dopa, Levodopa Summary generic name Levodopa trade name note type of drug : Sympathetic stimulant. mechanism : Parkinson's disease is believed to be related to low levels of dopamine in certain parts of the brain. When levodopa is taken orally, it crosses through the "blood-brain barrier." Once it crosses, it is converted to dopamine. The resulting increase in brain dopamine concentrations is believed to improve nerve conduction and assist the movement disorders in Parkinson's disease. Carbidopa does not cross the blood-brain barrier. Carbidopa is added to the levodopa to prevent the breakdown of levodopa before it crosses into the brain. The addition of carbidopa allows lower doses of levodopa to be used. This reduces the risk of side effects from levodopa such as nausea and vomiting. used to treat : management of symptoms of Parkinson's disease. overview of interactions Vitamin B6 Tyrosine and Phenylalanine High Levels of Dietary Protein Interactions nutrient affecting drug performance Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6 deficiency can be avoided by supplementing at low levels of 5-10 mg per day or less. While larger doses of B6 should be avoided as they allow L-dopa to be metabolized to dopamine and can inactivate the drug. Note, however, that this contraindication does not hold for patients using Sinemet as the carbidopa component inhibits the effect of vitamin B6 on the dopa pathway. Thus, patients using Sinemet will not experience any adverse interaction from supplementing with vitamin B6.
