Metabolic Syndrome: An Important Risk Factor for Parkinson’s Disease

[Kia17]

Metabolic syndrome is a prevalent and increasing public health problem worldwide related to many chronic diseases. Its components mainly include at least insulin resistance, central obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia with elevated triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, microalbuminuria, predominance of small dense LDL-cholesterol particles, hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, high waist circumference, oxidative stress, inflammation, tumors, neurodegeneration, and atherosclerosis-based ischemic cardio-  or cerebral-vascular disease. Meanwhile, recent studies have indicated that increased oxidative stress is the core and a general character of metabolism-related disease. Parkinson’s disease, during the past decades, is one of the most frequent neurodegenerative disorders that cause dementia and it is one of the leading chronic diseases in all countries and it also displays the high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Very interesting topic, thank you for sharing. Dr. Perlmutters’ explanation is quite clear.

Please see my post on molecular hydrogen therapy. It addresses metabolic syndrome as well as PD.

We're on the same track, PD is a multifactorial disease so we need to approach therapy from many directions.

It is interesting to note what Dr David said in his video about the progression of Pd. He said what I have been saying for many years, "There is no medication designed to deal with the progression of Pd. His graph only emphasized the different progressions of the Pd. It dd not mention that there are ways to slow down the progression of Pd and even reverse it. Exercise has been shown in various studies to slow down the progression of Pd.

I have found that the combination of: an MAOb Inhibtor; Fast Walking; Stress management; Positive Attitude; Mental Stimulation and learning how to Consciously Control our movements have helped me to REVERSE MY SYMPTOMS to the extent that I have lived since 2002, medication-free and at the age of 83, I live an active healthy life.

Because this does not include any of the USUAL MEDICATION but it does include a medication that does not often get prescribed, you are unlikely to be advised to do this by your neurologist. How many people do you know of who have reversed their symptoms by taking pills?

Go to my website, reverseparkinsons.net and contact me for more information on how to go about doing this. It will cost you nothing. It will include my videos for you to see what I have done and continue to do at the age of 83.

Metabolic syndrome is extremely difficult to manage and live with. My wife has that, and every day is a struggle. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have PD and metabolic syndrome. In our family, I have the PD, so, sometimes, we end up taking care of each other, and when we are both feeling unwell at the same time, then we have to get creative, on how to help each other. Oh well, all we can do is " carry on "!!
