 With all the talk of Michael J Fox and Parkinsons, I am wondering what
 causes it ? Could it be leaky gut from antibiotics and then the gluten
 /casein peptides interfering with brain function? Does anyone know? Wouldnt'
 he benefit from a paleo diet?

 I have a friend in her 30s with advanced Parkinsons and she told me she had
 been on a lot of antibiotics in her youth for ear infections.


 -My sister has advanced parkinson's and was in her 40's when it began. She
did not have a lot of antibiotics in youth or adulthood. BUt a few weeks
before the symptoms became came on, she had received a bunch of vaccines,
because she was starting her internship for in a nurses training program.
Also, she had a ton of mothballs in her attic for years. I heard of a case of
parkinsons like sypmtom having been caused by mothball toxicity.

Also of course her diet has always been a poor SAD diet.

Love,
Sandy
