Exactly my line of thinking.
Sounds like a study should be done on the diets of those with Parkinson's compared to the "average" diet. There's a chance for too much or too little of something that could make a difference.
I would also like to see a comprehensive study of the immune systems of those with and without, perhaps these people have little protection against these gut bacteria.
The most interesting cases would be those with the right conditions for Parkinson's yet do not have it. I think those cases would be very revealing.
It's also interesting that these bacteria are transferable across species. What if these bacteria are found in common meats from aanimal? When preparing an animal to remove it's meat, I imagine there's an off chance the gut is split in removal - which they probably just hose down the animal as not to waste the meat. Or perhaps the bacteria has the ability to spread in the host?
This research has definitely opened up new avenues to look for root cause and possible prevention.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoI can't imagine that diet and immune system studies haven't been done on Parkinson's sufferers?
- andy_ppp 10y agoI've found it very difficult to find papers or research on this...
- bArray 10y agoPerhaps they have, but this new research may give more incentive to look much harder. If there is a link, I would imagine that it would not be trivial - otherwise as you say it would probably have been found.
