Sleep disorder may foretell Parkinson`sPeople suffering from a rare rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder are likely experiencing early warning signs of a neurodegenerative disease, according to new research.
Most of the study participants diagnosed with idiopathic RBD — a violent disorder in which people physically act out their dreams — got Parkinson`s, a type of dementia or another neurodegenerative condition within about 11 years.
They have a Drug, still in testing thats SUPPOSED to stop Parkinsons.
Looks very promising.
“Stopping Parkinsons” is Pharma propaganda. Plenty of drugs exist to try help manage Parkinson’s, but drug companies want us to think if we just keep paying enormous markups on the drugs we all, take, miracles will be accomplished.
Hmm. This sounds entirely like me.
I guess I’ll have to ignore it.
‘we just keep paying enormous markups on the drugs we all, take, miracles will be accomplished.”
Because drug research is supposed to be done for free of course.
“Because drug research is supposed to be done for free of course.”
And of course it costs nothing to jump through the elventy-gajillion hoops set up by the FDA and the court system in order to bring a new drug to market.
Methinks that Leonard would be the first to sue if the process was streamlined, drugs came to market faster and cheaper, but a drug affected him negatively because of it.
The legitimate complaint against pharmaceutical companies is that they re-patent drugs with minor changes in order to keep the costs up, never allowing useful drugs to enter the generic phase until decades upon decades of profits have been skimmed.
Oh, and anyone who uses “pharma” can’t spell “pharmaceutical.”

oh, and those who have to point this out are knobs to think the rest of us are just too damn stupid to realize this. Thank the gods for keeping the rest of us troglodytes on track.
Jerk.
Well if we all rely on the big pharmaceutical co……. instead of eating right and living a healthy life style. Nutrition, whole foods, maybe a little of mother nature’s prevention.
#5, Oh, and anyone who uses “pharma” can’t spell “pharmaceutical.”
ouch, but I agree.
#7, Most diseases NOT caused by nutrition. Many, including Parkinson’s are genetic. Even heart failure may be genetic. Most cancers are poorly understood and may be caused by genetic, viruses, or even environmental (ie second hand smoke). Communicable diseases have any number of transmission methods.
I have a sleep disorder (I’m 66 yrs old now and used to sleepwalk as a teenager but only rarely now; however I do have violently real dreams). I also suffer from familial hemiplegic migrainous episodes where I lose all feeling and use of left side, have slurred speech, and twisted face. These episodes are largely controlled by medication but I do worry I may end up with Parkinsons – this research seems to confirm my fears. I have been hospitalised several times with these attacks and one consultant did mention Parkinsons in passing but said I had nothing to worry about for years yet. Long-term medication use worries me though.
Thanks for the information, it was very helpful.
Isn’t there any way to prevent parkinson’s disease.
