Great article, thanks for posting. Clearest explanation I've seen yet on the PD gut/brain connection. It's possible that PD may not be a brain disease at all, but a gut disease that kills brain cells.

Fascinating.

This sounds possible. I have gut problems and wonder how many other people with PD have them and don't realize there is possibly a connection. Further research is required. I hope it gets done.
