I think Parkinsonā€™s Disease is an interesting subject. At my age Iā€™ve had a few friends and relatives whoā€™ve had it or still have it but as the title of this discussion implies, the incidence of it has doubled in the last 20 years. Itā€™s a long discussion but very informative and perhaps a little scary.

Fitting new thread Iā€™m off back to Hospital - in a small town an hour from here - to have a knee replacement done in mid May It needs doing, I am terrified of it - the Doc is the top guy in Krakow and does an ā€œin the sticks clinicā€ so I had the look at my knee visit yesterday and surgery is booked for May rather than in November. He speaks good English. Nobody else will and Mrs P\_F wonā€™t be able to come see me And yeah, a lot of illnesses have become more prevalent of late ---

Yeah that video on Parkinsonā€™s starts by saying itā€™s a man made disease which surprised me. The fact was it was a very rare disease before the Industrial revolution and the major cause seems to be environmental pollution. Big indication is pesticides have played a big part in the upsurge. ā˜¹ ---

The story that I remember > **[Is aluminum exposure a risk factor for neurological disorders?](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6040147/)** > > Aluminum (Al) is widely found in the nature.

The bit about Aluminium and MS and other neuro diseases has been going around for over 30 years and nobody seems to have got any further with it. When Lady Slowlane was diagnosed with MS 43 years ago they didnā€™t even have a test to diagnose itā€¦if you had none of the others you had MS. Not much progress since eitherā€¦fortunately or unfortunately, you can get it on a scale from 1 to 100. ---

The only good news is that there are 21 meds which helps slow it down. 25 years ago there were none. And big advances in knowledge of lifestyle impacts such as foods which are inflammatory and make MS worse and others which make it easier. ---
