My aunt who had Parkinson's was born prior to 1900, lived on a farm
and ate fresh vegetables and meat all her life, probably never had a
vaccination, and died from Parkinson's anyway.>>


The same is true of my grandmother and her oldest daughter, which makes me
believe there is a genetic component to parkinsons -- although my husband's
father had parkinsons and there were no known occurrences in his family. 
He also was born and raised in a rural, farm environment, and his diet
during his early life was based on home-grown foods, no vaccinations (he
was not in the military); however, during the latter decades of his life,
his eating habits were terrible (too much SAD).
