Question posed by ATP: Is it safe for my dad to take the H1N1 flu shot if he has Parkinson’s Disease?
My dad has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease for more than a year now. I was afraid to take the H1N1 flu shot because he was afraid that there could be some effects. There was a story out there about a girl had a “seasonal” flu shot and can walk backward and run but can’t walk forward. Even though she got the seasonal flu shot, he is still scared. He afraid that the flu shot can affect some of his movements. Could any flu shot affect his already worsening movements problems?

The No 1 answer:

Answer by J.D.
my advice, just stay away from the flu shots altogether, even if she did just get her seasonal shot and that was a one in a million thing, why even take the risk? H1N1 vaccine actually has like mercury and other bad things in it too.

A question asked by Puddles: Why are medications for Parkinson’s disease sometimes given to psychiatric patients?
What are the psychiatric uses of Amantadine, Benztropine, and Trihexyphenidyl?

Chosen answer:

Answer by pimpster spitty (spitchus)
The Clinic offers psychiatric services to adults with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related disorders such as dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, or multiple system atrophy. Disorders treated include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, dementia and milder cognitive impairment, psychosis, and other behavioral disturbances associated with these disorders, such as impulse control problems. Treatment of these problems includes both medications and non-medication strategies. Our goal in the care of patients is to minimize their disability and maximize their functioning.Psychiatric problems, such as depression, anxiety, cognitive changes, and psychosis, increase the disability associated with the Parkinson’s diesae. However, proper treatment of these conditions in patients with PD improves their functioning and the quality of life for patients and caregivers.

Question by Schatzi: Do Compulsive gambling and Parkinson’s disease have any link?
I have Parkinson’s disease and I saw an article that linked compulsive gambling with PD medication and my Neurologist has confirmed that there is a link with compulsive behavior and certain medication being given for PD. My question is being asked because I just saw a number of incorrect answers that were given here to someone that asked about it. The asker was told in no uncertain terms that gambling is a social disease and not a medical problem. Has anyone else here ever read an article linking compulsive gambling to PD medication?

How to Avoid Parkinson’s Disease?

Question by niceguy: How to avoid parkinson’s disease?
My aunt is diagnosed with parkinson’s disease and she not a very active person and my uncle probably died from parkinson’s. According to wikipedia, pesticide accounts for 70% of parkinson’s disease. Is there any preventions to this disease like exercise when you are young? I would like to have anyone with knowledge to share their experience with me. Thanks.

Answer by Rani
the exact cause of the nerve diseases are not clearly known like cancer. there may genetic, environmental, and other factors which cause these diseases.

yes pesticides are a cause but genetics is a big factor. pesticides generally come from contaminated foods, so if you stop taking contaminated foods then that pesticide factor can be blocked but what about genetics? you can’t change your genes.

however head trauma, and some drugs used to treat schizophrenia can also cause parkinson’s disease. so try to avoid head trauma.

As the cause of the disease is not clearly known so the means of prevention of the dieases is also not known. the disease can not be fully cured too.

exercise, healthy diet can keep many diseases apart from us . who knows one day may be researchers say that it can prevent Parkinson’s disease also. Lets hope for the best.

A question asked by Wanderer: Does Dehydration Cause Neurological and Autoimmune Disorders.?
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on the following article?

“Dehydration Also Causes Neurological and Autoimmune Disorders.
Persistent dehydration inside some vital cells, in its extreme stages, will result in a number of disruptive conditions that have been labeled as different diseases – depending on the specialty of the “medical specialist” who first labels the problem. The initial stages of these health problems will begin by the loss of some of the most essential amino acids that get used up as detoxifying agents – antioxidants, when the person is not producing enough urine to get rid of the toxic waste of metabolism.

Since brain activity desperately depends on the presence of some of these amino acids, their depletive overuse will result in an inadequate presence of certain neurotransmitters – such as serotonin, tryptamine, melatonin and indolamine that are made from the amino acid tryptophan; or adrenaline, noradrenalin and dopamine that are made from the amino acid tyrosine.

As a result of an imbalance in the neurotransmitter composition of the brain, and based on proportionate depletion of a number of primary elements, a wide range of health problems have been recognized by the medical profession. Instead of recognizing these conditions as “deficiency disorders, they have been labeled as “diseases of unknown cause.” In short, when dehydration produces health problems, instead of correcting the dehydration and its metabolic complications, people are given toxic medications.

These conditions have received various labels. Most frequently used labels are: depression, impotence, anxiety neurosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, attention deficit disorder in children. At more serious pathological stages, they are labeled as autoimmune diseases – such as insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, lupus, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease), Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer disease, and even AIDS.

Colon cleansing is the latest method to lose weight.
