🚬 A link between carbon monoxide and Parkinson's disease may explain why smokers are at a lower risk of developing the condition, according to international research. The team monitored the health of over 500,000 Chinese adults over 12 years, including 1,131 people with Parkinson's and 2,949 with other neurodegenerative diseases. They investigated the impact of smoking through self-reported smoking frequency and measuring carbon monoxide in breath - usually an indicator of smoking. The researchers say both smoking history and exhaled carbon monoxide were linked to a lower risk of Parkinson's. While smokers generally had higher carbon monoxide levels in their breath, the researchers say non-smokers with high carbon monoxide levels also had a lower risk of Parkinson's - suggesting carbon monoxide may be independently protective against Parkinson's. Australian researchers highlight that smoking increases the risk of a host of different health problems, but say this finding could help us better understand why Parkinson's disease bucks the trend.

Why sports stars who head the ball are much more likely to die of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease.

Professional football players are at much greater risk of developing dementia.

What can we do to help them?

I learned from a video my friend @jammcq sent me (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16ycMqFSBe/?mibextid=wwXIfr #DrRachelBarr) that there are things they can do for you, possibly, if you have #Parkinsons (The video isn't about Parkinson's. It's just mentioned.) One of the possible treatments is #LDopa.

Evidence points to me having medication-induced Parkinson's (I'm not an expert, so this is not a diagnosis). Possibly related symptoms include shaking hands, poor balance (some related falling), a few other things. The shaking hands is very annoying. Worse for me, even, than the balance issues. The shaking absolutely affects my typing, especially typing passwords; and interferes greatly with other activities that are important to me. I don't drink (especially since being on a GLP1), but I'm kinda terrified of being pulled over and given a field-sobriety test (Probably unrealistic as I haven't been pulled over in decades).

Months ago I scheduled an appointment for myself with a (new to me) #Neurologist. That appointment is finally coming up. Hopefully I will have more answers then. Boy it would be fantastic if my hands stopped shaking.

Sympathy to the family and friends of Patrick (“Pat”) R. Perry of Salinas, CA. Pat passed away peacefully on September 3 after battling Parkinson’s disease for more than 10 years.

"Pat spent much of his free time enjoying nature: hiking in Big Sur and the Ventana
Wilderness, hunting at the family deer club, fishing in Monterey Bay, and bike riding
along the coast.”

Australian food is grown with dangerous chemicals banned in other countries

"Australia has a global reputation as a source of clean food. In fact, the country has some of the most lax regulation of pesticide use in the western world."

Paraquat and Parkinson’s disease in agricultural producers
"The regulator (is) lagging behind. A 2023 report commissioned by the federal government found “serious allegations of chemical industry capture of the APVMA” and that it took far too long to finalise reviews of dangerous chemicals, including paraquat."
