We already knew that, didn't we?

Yah, like 10 years ago for me 7/16/14 was the day I was poisoned. Odd how they never include Roundup in these epidemiology studies, it's only the most used herbicide in the world. I'm so tired of these fraud scientists and their nothing news.

much more study needed ....for what? money that's what

[Sturge in reply to SilentEchoes]

you mention "the day I was poisoned"....was that a "one time" exposure to glyphosate?

[SilentEchoes in reply to Sturge]

This was my "acute" exposure. There's no such thing as a one-time exposure to glyphosate when you live ag adjacent. It's in everything - air, water and food.

[Sturge in reply to SilentEchoes]

Thank you for the reply. I wonder if Glyp. is responsible for my PD.....I am occasionally around it, but have other factors (including concussion) that may be actual driver on the PD development...thanks again!

[SilentEchoes in reply to Sturge]

How long ago was your concussion? A neurologist told me that if it was more than 10 years before your PD diagnosis then there is no temporal relationship. It still plays a role in depleting cognitive reserve.

My functional medicine doc said the big surgery I had in 2010 set me up for ALS. People don't realize that anesthesia is neurotoxic and depletes cognitive reserve.

[Sturge in reply to SilentEchoes]

My concussion was probably about 12 years B4 the PD diagnosis. This is the first I have heard about anesthesia. I have had a few surgeries w/ anesthesia, but probably less than a lot of people....hard for me to pin down the catalyst. Thanks again for the reply.

My mom had PD. She had a head injury from a car accident and occupational exposure as a hairdresser - this was more than 10 years before her diagnosis. She moved to Florida and her husband decided to DIY insect control. She didn't leave the house while he spent a lot of time outside. The insecticide use has a temporal relationship. The onset is insidious - you don't know it's happening until it's too late. Based on my lived experience, PD is the result of small chronic exposures, while MND/ALS is the result of an acute insult to the nervous system. Many things can cause PD and ALS, those "things" all use the same biological pathways and cause an inflammatory response in the brain.
