Interesting article from The Daily Mail

There has been a theory for some time now that Parkinson's may start in the secondary nerve system, located in the stomach. It then affects the cells in the brain, effectively killing the cells in the brain that produce dopamine.

If this article is correct, this could be exciting news, I guess it may be linked to LAARK2 gene also.

This was news several years ago, my husband gave it a go but it made no difference. This time they are saying you would need such a large dose of both probiotics and antibiotics it would probably kill you.

The good news is they are trying to find a way of combining this high dose in a form that won't kill you. This is going to take time, but no harm in trying a good probiotic, it might help your constipation.

By eating acid and Alkaline foods separate from one another you can stop acid reflux. Both digest at different rates, both need different amount of acid to digest, eaten together they fight one another causing acid reflux. Taking antacids will make things worse in the long run, far better to make a chart of all the foods you eat, separate acid from alkaline and eat them at least 1/2 hours apart. Difficult if you just love to eat roast dinner with fruit pie, fruit & Cream straight after. Even Muesli is forbidden it contains raisins, sultanas, apple etc, not are okay.

I managed to keep at bay a terrible hiatus hernia this way. Taking medicine antacids which contain aluminium long term is not a good idea. This isn't a cure but as good as if I eat these foods at different time, if I forget I suffer almost straight away. Do it for a week, you'll notice a tremendous difference in just a day, but no cheating!!! If food is more important than your health then you only have yourself to blame. Happy Christmas
