<Subsonics are inaudible, extremely low frequency, yet very powerful sound waves. In nature they almost always are linked to danger and thus trigger the fight or flight response. They are also quite rare. However, in the world of the Industrial Revolution they became steadily more common. Today, millions of us live with them. Only a [...]

(The following post references the chart called “The Parkinson’s Cascade” which can be viewed here.) This is one of a series of attempts to explain my view of Parkinson’s Disease in hopes of stimulating research into new areas. I freely admit to errors in this work and hope that those will be brought to my [...]

A report in this morning’s Science Daily News started a cascade of its own as several pieces of the puzzle clicked into place. With the charming title of “Seeing Family for the Holidays?

There is a branch of science called Chaos Theory which studies the order which exists in [...]

(A Link to Part 1) In Parkinson’s Disease, age of onset of symptoms provides a dividing line of sorts between two subgroups. If symptoms first appear after the approximate age of sixty, then the influences of age and the insults that come with it are the predominant factors. generating a destructive neuroinflammatory response including the [...]

A Problem With Specialization Medicine has embraced the concept of “specialization” – the aquisition of knowledge that is deep but narrow. There are some obvious strengths to this approach, it is true. However, there are some major weaknesses that are not so obvious. One of the problems with this approach is that the divisional lines [...]

Without a cause or defined course of progression for Parkinson’s Disease, it has been extremely difficult to even offer anything beyond levodopa, itself a mixed blessing. I am convinced that there is no “magic bullet”, at least not soon, because there is no single cause. This may eventually yield to the idea of treatment with [...]
