Am I crazy for considering this probiotic. I have read it is unclear if this bacteria makes parkinson disease worse, or perhaps is compensatory change that is attempting to improve Parkinson’s disease, or is just getting more common as people age. I think it is clear it is higher in number the worse Parkinson’s get. But if it causes the increase or perhaps is caused by I do not think is clear. I wanted to consider it for blood sugar and insulin resistance.

I did not have access to the full articles in many cases so it was hard to get a clear picture.

"What are the negative effects of Akkermansia?

The excessive enrichment of Akkermansia may alter the process of mucin degradation, thus impairing the intestinal barrier and inducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) [12,14,39]."
