Parkinson’s is now the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease and the fastest-growing degenerative neurological disorder, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation.
“The world’s fastest-growing brain disease is largely manmade,” Dr. E. Ray Dorsey, the David M. Levy professor of neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, said in a statement. “The principal causes are toxic exposures to chemicals synthesized in the labs of chemical companies worldwide.”
