Extractions: Overview Parkinsons disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative movement disorder. Tremors, rigidity, slow movement (bradykinesia), poor balance, and difficulty walking (called parkinsonian gait) are characteristic primary symptoms of Parkinsons disease. Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is the most common form of parkinsonism, a group of movement disorders that have similar features and symptoms. Parkinsons disease is called idiopathic Parkinsons because the cause is unknown. In the other forms of parkinsonism, a cause is known or suspected. Parkinsons results from the degeneration of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain, specifically in the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that stimulates motor neurons, those nerve cells that control the muscles. When dopamine production is depleted, the motor system nerves are unable to control movement and coordination. Parkinson's disease patients have lost 80% or more of their dopamine-producing cells by the time symptoms appear.

Contact us Innovita Research Foundation web site is intended for readers who want to find out qualified information about aging in general and in molecular approach. The point is to emphasize main problems of aging, to reduce aging factors, and to answer the perpetual question what is aging and how it is influenced by our genetic composition and lifestyle. Aging is a natural stage of human development. In this period adaptivity of organisms' reduces (onset of age related diseases, general run-out of organism). There are possible opportunities to change it; modify the course of aging in the position that the aging person could live sterling life, and as long as possible could stay highly adaptive and valuable to the society. Our objective is to declare and systematize information about aging elements and linked processes. In this web site large (more than 200 pages, more than 1000 papers are overviewed) aging literature survey is presented. Aging News General - here you can find reviews of the articles and information about aging in general (aging process; factors of aging; ways to slower this process etc.)

Information Update Parkinson's disease may be one of the most baffling and complex of the neurological disorders. Its cause remains a mystery but research in this area is active, with new and intriguing findings constantly being reported. Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson, a British physician who published a paper on what he called "the shaking palsy." In this paper, he set forth the major symptoms of the disease that would later bear his name. For the next century and a half, scientists pursued the causes and treatment of the disease. They defined its range of symptoms, distribution among the population, and prospects for cure. In the early 1960s, researchers identified a fundamental brain defect that is a hallmark of the disease: the loss of brain cells that produce a chemical

Parkinson's Disease: New Treatments Slow Onslaught Of Symptoms
New therapies can help ease the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson s disease, buttreatments currently on the market can neither replace the faulty nerve cells
http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/1998/498_pd.html

Extractions: New Treatments Slow Onslaught of Symptoms by John Henkel Joe Dulaney calls himself the Backward Man. Although the tag is lighthearted, the awkward and dangerous dilemma he often faces as his lower limbs simply lock in mid-stride is not. At these moments, his body halts abruptly like a movie freeze-frame, and the only way he can walk is to step backward. "I've gotten to where I can move pretty fast in reverse," says Illinois resident Dulaney, 65, whose finessed footwork helps him cope with one of many symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Nationwide, as many as 1.5 million people suffer from Parkinson's, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. A chronic and progressive disorder, Parkinson's strikes slightly more men than women and more whites than blacks in the United States. Though the disease is found most often in patients over 50, as many as 10 percent of patientsafflicted with the so-called "young-onset" Parkinson'sare under 40. About 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's yearly, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, which estimates that the total cost of health care for Parkinson's patients will exceed $5.6 billion this year. The Food and Drug Administration has approved nearly a dozen drugs for treating Parkinson's, three of which have been put on the market just in the past year. Also approved in 1997 was a device that is surgically implanted in the brain to lessen the violent shaking experienced by some Parkinson's patients. The 1996 discovery of a gene believed responsible for a form of Parkinson's may result in future innovative treatments. Despite the range of therapies available to ease the disease's debilitating symptoms, however, treatments now on the market can neither replace the faulty nerve cells that cause the disease nor stop Parkinson's from progressing.

Extractions: Dear Oprah, What is the common denominator in these folks, and three others who worked with Michael Fox and also developed Parkinson's Disease? You're looking for a neurotoxin/excitotoxin. An excitotoxin is a product that literally stimulates the neurons of the brain to death causing brain damage of varying degrees. It was the famed Dr. John Olney who founded the field of neuroscience called excitotoxicity. He did studies on aspartic acid, 40% of aspartame, and found it caused lesions in the brains of mice. It is an excitotoxin. Neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, M.D., wrote the book on it, Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills . He discusses Parkinson's Disease at length. Dr. Blaylock gives several points on the disease. He says "Parkinson's Disease is a disorder whose cause appears from substantial evidence, to be related to excitotoxicity. These toxins destroy the cells in the brain central to this disease. Excitotoxins cause these brain cells to generate enormous amounts of free radicals. This is true of MSG and aspartic acid (aspartame).There is substantial circumstantial evidence that dietary excitotoxins, including aspartame, can aggravate these destructive changes in the Parkinson's brain. The additional toxins - DKP, aspartate, methanol, formaldehyde and formic acid - add to this injury. Recent evidence demonstrates that the aspartame product, formaldehyde - accumulates within cells and damages protein and DNA. "
