PARKINSON'S DISEASE

    Parkinson's is an incurable neurological disorder. It occurs when brain cells that produce dopamine, an important neurotransmitter (message-carrying chemical), are destroyed by oxidative stress in a part of the brain known as the substantia nigra. Some symptoms include muscle tightness, tremors, and possible speech impediments. High risk individuals are those over 65 who have suffered brain trauma, or have been exposed to high levels of pesticides/herbicides, or who have a family history of Parkinson's.


    * High risk individuals should convert the home to Melaleuca products, take a healthy nutritional supplement program such as the Vitality 6 for 50+ pack, and add Unforgettables for cognitive health. This will provide at least four types of antioxidants. Studies show a blend of at least 3 to 4 antioxidants work best in the prevention or delay of Parkinson's Disease. Be sure to eat fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables each day, including walnuts and blueberries, because they are an important source of antioxidants. See Insect Repellent in this book for alternatives to chemical pesticides.
