what is Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of certain nerve cells in a part of the brain (substantia nigra) that produces dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, that the brain uses to help direct and control movement. In Parkinson’s disease, these dopamine-producing nerve cells break down, dopamine levels drop, and brain signals directing movement become abnormal.There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease. Several different types of medication may be used to relieve symptoms. Brain surgery or deep brain stimulation also may be used to control symptoms in some people

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 a chemical called dopamine that helps

A couple owned and operated dry cleaners in 70s and 80s and now she is treated for MS and he for Parkinson’s although doctors don’t think they have these. I know they replaced ducts for venting the perc 2 or 3 times and their 4 daughters who worked at the cleaners part time, have been told they have MS type symptoms, but not MS. So, what can be done to relieve their problems. Chelation might work for heavy metals, but what would clean this chemical from their bodies and maybe repair the damage done to the central nervous system? Can they be tested to see if perc in their bodies is the problem?
