Parkinson's DiseaseAlthough the trembling of the arms and legs, the stiffness and rigidity of the muscles and slowness of movement in sufferers of Parkinson's disease or PD is attributed to degeneration of the nervous system, it more likely to be an imbalance of the neurotransmitters in the brain. These chemicals, produced by the cells within the brain, include dopamine - considered to be of prime importance in PD, acetylcholine and noradrenalin. Risk factors of Parkinson's may include head injury, toxins such as chemical exposure from pesticides and herbicides, metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, malnutrition and malabsorption as a result of infection with parasites, fungus, bacteria and viruses, and food allergy and intolerance resulting in vitamin and mineral deficiencies which power the enzymes to detoxify the harmful substances. The mere fact that the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease never seem to appear alone but in the presence of other signs and symptoms affecting major organs such as lungs and kidneys, goes a long way to explaining a generalised problem as opposed to a specific one of dopamine deficiency. An Integral Health DNA Hair Test not only can identify the cause/causes of an imbalance in the body and the potential for signs and symptoms of disease; we are also able to provide the best nutrient and lifestyle recommendations specifically tailored for each unique individual, helping to ensure they are able to achieve optimum health - naturally.
