Europe has BANNED a ton of ingredients for foods and drinks THAT STILL EXIST IN THIS COUNTRY. The worse part is that American companies Changed all of their formulations to products sold in those countries-- BUT HAVE ZERO PROBLEMS KILLING THEIR OWN PEOPLE. Let that sink in..

Dad died of Parkinson’s. He was a retired Navy man who used lots of TCE during his work. I can still smell the odor of it oozing from the workshops at Naval Air Stations and electronics manufacturing facilities.

"Ask your doctor why you got this disease", that's funny. They don't even know why people get metabolic disease or how to reverse it. We're on our own in this world, especially true for the US.

I'm sure this is a factor but let me submit this: I am personnaly convinced the huge human brain REQUIRES ketones from birth to develop and be fueled properly. That is why our liver makes ketones. That is why ketones pass unaided through the blood brain barrier. So what is the priblem? In our present state of evolution it is too easy to block ketone production by eating and drinking too much glucose we do not need from the high carb diet which has been normalized since the late 70s. Glucose is so vital our liver makes all we need. After years and decades of blocking ketones and starving the brain, the full spectrum of dementia, neurologic disease and even mental disease is the result.

This video features neurologist Dr. Ray Dorsey discussing the rising incidence of Parkinson's disease and his conviction that it is largely a preventable environmental, rather than genetic, condition. Below are the key takeaways: The Environmental Roots of Parkinson's (0:05 - 0:41) Dr. Dorsey emphasizes that only about 13% of Parkinson's cases are genetic (0:11), meaning 87% are driven by environmental factors. He highlights the prevalence of toxic Superfund sites across the United States (0:36), specifically mentioning chemicals like trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) (0:46), which are used in dry cleaning and industrial degreasing. How Chemicals Affect the Body (43:41 - 47:50) Dr. Dorsey discusses the research of pathologist Haiko Brock, who proposed that Parkinson's pathology often begins outside the brain—either in the gut or the nose (44:23). He posits that ingested chemicals (like contaminated water) contribute to a "body-first" form of the disease, while inhaled chemicals contribute to a "brain-first" form (47:24). Prevention and Protection Strategies (16:17 - 18:25, 1:31:41) To reduce exposure, Dr. Dorsey suggests: Using high-quality water filters (specifically carbon filters) to remove toxins (7:28). Utilizing air purifiers to mitigate the impact of inhaled particulate matter (1:32:20). Choosing "green" dry cleaners that avoid perchloroethylene (7:30). Testing indoor air quality if living near a known contaminated or Superfund site (7:45). Moving Toward a Future Without Parkinson's (1:17:21 - 1:34:33) Dr. Dorsey advocates for a proactive approach: avoiding exposure, regular exercise to stimulate brain growth factors, and receiving specialized care (1:17:35). He concludes with an optimistic message, comparing the potential to eradicate Parkinson's to the historical success in reducing HIV, polio, and lead poisoning through policy and public awareness (1:30:48 - 1:34:33).

There is a lot of things that help but choosing the right diet and supplements is key to preventing parkinson! I just finished Vault of Consumable Corruption book and I’m honestly furious at what’s being hidden from us. If you care about your health, read this before it’s too late. You have no idea what’s being slipped into your food and how the industry deceives us. The things they put in our food and "healthy" supplements is insane. No wonder you see so much sick, weak and ppl with cancer. This is attack on our health.. We all must wake up asap. Great vid Jesse!
