Does PD start in the gut?

Hi all

This is a link to my vlog which discusses the theory that Parkinson’s Disease starts in the gut rather than the brain.

Thanks for the video. It was most informative. The obvious question is is there anything you or I can do today in the practical (“real”) world about the gut/brain relationship assuming that the theory is correct. For example, following a gluten free diet or other kind of diet?

Thank you very much for this. What is the best cure for this?
