Fox that he will be retiring has again put national attention on Parkinson's Disease. In interviews he states that he is leaving so as to concentrate on his battle with the disease and his advocacy for a cure. Michael J. Fox is a very visible victim of this neurological disorder, but not your typical victim. Parkinson's is usually thought of as a disease of aging. The average age of onset is 60 years of age. Parkinson's is one of a group of diseases classified as a motor system disorder. Its most obvious symptoms are tremors or trembling of the hands, arms legs and face, stiffness of the limbs and trunk, slowness of movements and impaired balance and coordination. It is a chronic, progressive disease with symptoms growing worse over time and leading to total disability and dependence. Along with the visible symptoms the person with Parkinson's will also have difficulty swallowing and talking. The person with Parkinson's is very likely to be depressed and have weight loss due to decreased appetite and difficulty swallowing.

Attitude in PD - a personal perpective The Fourth We were honoured to be invited to organize the Fourth World Parkinson's Disease Day International Symposium in Tokyo, which was held on April 9, 2000. This event was launched in 1997 to celebrate the birthday of James Parkinson (April 11, 1755), who first identified the disease. The first symposium was organized in Geneva in 1997, followed by Barcelona in 1998, and New York in 1999. Like the previous three symposia, this meeting was organized on behalf of the Movement Disorder Society with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO). The Movement Disorder Society aims to improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease and their families. The society recognizes the importance of partnership and, with the support of the WHO, the symposium was arranged with the theme "Uniting for tomorrow", the aim of which was to bring together major partners involved in helping patients with Parkinson's disease, i.e., patients, their families, their caregivers, doctors, nurses, physical therapists, social workers, and others.

Comprehensive review of the latest research into Parkinson's disease with emphasis on prevention and complementary and alternative treatments Parkinson's Disease: Is Victory in Sight? by Hans R. Larsen, MSc ChE If research into Parkinson's disease continues at its present pace this dreaded disease may well be fully understood and largely preventable early in the 21st Century. Parkinson's disease ( paralysis agitans , shaking palsy) was first described in 1817. L-dopa, the mainstay of current drug therapy was introduced in 1970 and since then hundreds of research papers have been published on the disease. It is now increasingly clear not only what causes Parkinson's, but also how it can be prevented and its relentless progress slowed down. Incidence and Symptoms Idiopathic (of no known cause) Parkinson's disease affects about one percent of the population over the age of 60 years in the United States. It is more common among men than among women and also seems to be more widespread in northern countries. The incidence of the disease increases with age although aging itself is not believed to be a causative factor. Parkinson's disease is rarely inherited and less than one per cent of all cases are thought to have a genetic component. At this time there is no medical cure for the condition, but drugs that alleviate the symptoms and slow the progress of the disease are available(1-5). The main symptom of Parkinson's disease is a pronounced tremor affecting the extremities notably the hands, chin or lips. The tremor is most evident at rest and disappears with movement. Other characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease are stiffness or slowness of movement, a shuffling walk, stooped posture, and difficulties in performing simple tasks. Memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction are rarely encountered in early stage Parkinson's disease. Depression is, however, a common feature and about 30 per cent of Parkinson's disease victims eventually develop Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia(1-3,6-8).

PARKINSON'S DISEASE A Holistic Therapy By Walter Last Parkinson's disease, formerly also called Paralysis agitans or Shaking palsy, is a disease of the central nervous system. Characteristic symptoms are tremors or shaking of one or both arms and sometimes of other muscles. Generally muscles are weak and rigid, movements slow and the face expressionless, also the voice becomes weak. Typically the walk is with slow, short, shuffling steps, the arms held stiffly at the sides and the trunk slightly bent forward, the patient may spontaneously break into a shuffling run. The onset of the disease is gradual and progression of symptoms usually slow. It may start with a mild shaking of the hands or involuntary nodding of the head. The mental abilities usually remain unimpaired, however, as the disease progresses there may be frequent mood changes, withdrawal and depression. The disease commonly starts in middle-aged and elderly individuals and seems to affect predominantly males. However, high exposure to environmental chemicals and drugs, such as certain tranquillisers and antihypertensives, inorganic iron, aluminium and carbon monoxide can induce an early onset of Parkinson-like symptoms. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease are partly due to a loss of brain cells in specific areas and partly to a lack of the neurotransmitter dopamine that helps to transmit signals across the tiny gaps between neighbouring nerve cells. The medical cause of these brain changes is not known. The main medical treatment consists in providing a drug, L-dopa or levodopa, which can be converted in the brain to dopamine. In addition, there are a variety of dopamine-sparing drugs and others that stimulate dopamine receptors. However, this treatment is not always effective, especially in advanced conditions and the long-term deterioration continues unchecked or may even be speeded up. Side effects include involuntary jerky movements, hypotension, nausea, anorexia, vomiting and disturbance of the mental equilibrium. Long-term treatment may result in neurotic and psychotic symptoms. These are probably due to an oxidation product of L-dopa, dopachrome, accumulating in the brain; for a similar reason schizophrenics deteriorate when given L-dopa.

Newsletter Archive Nutrition and Parkinson's Disease: We've Come a Long, Long Way By Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD One hundred years ago, so little was known about Parkinson's disease that no treatment was available. PD symptoms progressed until the individual became immobile, and usually developed pneumonia, which led to death. Even fifty years ago, medications could manage only a few of the symptoms of PD. Today, thanks to research and technology, people diagnosed with PD can look forward to a much brighter future. Now we have diagnostic equipment, medications, surgeries, physical and voice therapies, that were never available before. We also have a far better understanding of the relationship between nutrition and PD, and how we can use nutrition every day to both protect our health, and prevent many of the nutrition-related hospitalizations that occur in PD. For example, when levodopa was introduced in the 1960s, it was a breakthrough in minimizing PD symptoms. It caused extreme nausea, however, and physicians quickly realized that proteins in food, iron supplements, and large amounts of vitamin B6, could block its absorption, rendering it useless.

Newsletter Archive Parkinson's Disease: Nutrition Just For You By Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD Dear Dietitian: What diet should I follow for PD? One of the tasks I most enjoy is responding to questions on the e-mail forum "Ask the Parkinson Dietitian." The question most often asked by newcomers to the forum is: "I have PD what's the best diet for me?" That's a very good question. However, PD is so different for each person that there is no one right diet for everyone. The best possible diet for people with PD depends on a great many matters that can affect your nutrient needs. Here are just a few: Age Gender If female, whether pre- or post-menopausal How long diagnosed with PD Medications used (both PD, and other medications, including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal or other supplements) Other diagnosed conditions besides PD (such as elevated blood pressure, food allergies, diabetes, heartburn, acid reflux, high cholesterol, etc.) Particular concerns such as nausea, edema, constipation, weight change, etc.

Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? 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 dopamine, a chemical that helps to relay messages between areas of the brain that control body movement. The death of cells in this area of the brain leads to abnormally low levels of dopamine, which makes it difficult for a person with Parkinson's disease to control muscle tension and muscle movement, both at rest and during periods of activity.
