Red hair gene may have connection to melanoma and Parkinson’s disease
Could the color of your hair also be a sign of potential risk of disease? Recent research has revealed that may just be the case — at least for redheads. Scientists have previously found that the gene variant that produces red hair and fair skin in humans and mice also increases the risk of melanoma […]

Revolutionary microscopy technique allows scientists to better understand amyloid-based diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
A new breed of powerful microscopes has enabled British researchers to make huge strides in the study of amyloid diseases. According to a Science Daily article, cryo-electron microscopes have enabled new discoveries about the proteins that cause Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. These powerful instruments use electrons to view the shape of the samples. They can discern […]

Study: PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) may prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease may be one of the most fearsome health conditions common among the elderly. Imagine gradually losing your memory while your body weakens. But the risk of Alzheimer’s may be a thing of the past as pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a micronutrient in plants, has been found to have the ability to halt the progress […]

Risk of Parkinson’s disease increases with statin drug use
What if the drug meant to treat you actually gave you a different, just-as-bad disease? A report published in the medical journal Movement Disorders says this could be the case with statins, linking the use of the drugs to an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. Statins are a class of drugs prescribed to prevent heart […]

Nutrition has a significant impact on the progression of Parkinson’s disease
Your health is greatly affected by the food you eat – it’s been proven time and time again. A study presented at the Fourth World Parkinson Congress builds on this fact, as they reported that eating foods commonly found in a Mediterranean diet were associated with a slower progression of Parkinson’s disease. Researchers at Bastyr University and Oregon […]

Seaweed prevents Parkinson’s disease, according to new study
Research has shown that certain seaweeds have the potential to prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, looked at the ability of antioxidant-rich seaweeds to protect brain cells from the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, also known as oxidopamine), a chemical used to simulate Parkinson’s disease. In the study, researchers from the Polytechnic […]

Even low-level exposure to pesticides increases your risk of Parkinson’s
We all know that pesticide exposure is bad, whether it comes from the food you eat or you happen to live or work on a farm. You might think you can get away with a few non-organic fruits here and there or that a couple hours working on the farm won’t be enough to hurt […]

A protein found in fish could prevent Parkinson’s disease
It’s a fact that eating fish is good for the body. Most are packed with the fatty acids omega-3 and -6 which help in improving cognitive health, reducing heart risks, and lowering a person’s blood pressure. However, a new study has shown that a nutrient found in fish can be more beneficial than the common fatty acids […]
