A question from Dogstar Lone Crusader of the Clone Apocalypse: How much do you think the Vatican paid that nun to pretend to have had Parkinson’s disease?
Just so that they could canonise John-Paul II.

Best answer:

Answer by The Resurrectionist
Probably not much. Plenty of religious nuts are more than willing to lie simply to try justify their own faith.

maureen speaks a bit on the ‘mission’ behind these non scripted ‘in the moment’ videos that aim to create awareness of the mysterious illnesses rooted in the brain, such as parkinson’s disease which she has lived with for 13 years. here is the outline for a foundation that will donate funds to help the living maintain an optimum quality of life… NOW! we are creating a place as aids and cancer groups have done to concentrate not only on cures. please, take that money that’s going to buy a plaque with your name on it, to live across eternity on a hospital wall, AND/OR, share supporting the search for a cure and buy someone’s groceries, pay past due bills to help ‘catch up’, provide supplements … ad infinitum. thank you again for watching. spread the word !

A question asked by Bobsyouruncle: Is there a way to reduce signs of Parkinson’s disease at its early stages?
What are the signs of it at the early stages?

Selected answer:

Answer by erbs2005
Symptoms may be mild at first. For instance, the patient may have a mild tremor or a slight feeling that one leg or foot is stiff and dragging.

There are no clear risk factors or preventions for PD. Central body obesity may increase the risk. Some studies have found that coffee drinking or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women may decrease the risk of PD. However, heavy coffee drinking in combination with HRT appears to increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease.
