Spirituality and neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's. Could faith, meaning and purpose shape how folks cope and heal? Spirituality can play a powerful role in neurologic disease care, including PD and AD and how health care providers can better address it as part of whole care.

I remember the sadness in my grandmother’s voice as she told us that my eight-year-old cousin had been diagnosed with a “fatal brain disease.”

Parkinson's Disease stigma can cause excessive fear for those newly diagnosed. Advocates are working to change that.

Why is the EPA banning TCE for Parkinson's? The odds ratio for the dry cleaning chemical TCE and association with later Parkinson's is ridiculously high. and the community should thank the EPA and embrace this decision as a huge WIN for Parkinson's. This is a BIG DEAL.

We are already at ~12 million cases worldwide w/ Parkinson's which is approaching where we thought we would be in 2040. Can we double down and spend some money and time on preventing cases and lifting the living? Only a few pennies on the dollar go to prevention research.
