Ending Parkinson's: A prescription to end this neurological pandemic

Dr. Ray Dorsey from the University of Rochester and co-author of the book, Ending Parkinson’s, sits down with us for our POP Profile Series. He shares his unequivocal stance that Parkinson’s is truly the pandemic of our time as the fastest growing neurological disorder. The Parkinson’s community is better because of Dr. Dorsey’s passion around ending the silence and motivating people with and without the disease to speak up and take action.

I was a service man for the Caterpillar dealer and we used TCE for cleaning machinery parts. It was the best parts cleaner we had ever seen. Turns out maybe not so much. My brother also was exposed and he ha s now passed, I am 73 and still functioning and carrying on but I do have PD but not extreme yet. I exercise every morning for 3/4 to 1 hour every day.

[@invoxicated]

I have PD which I was exposed to Agent Orange while serving in the US Navy during the Vietnam War. I live outside of Rochester and can't seem to find a good Neurologist. I'm on 3 tabs of 25/100 Sinemet 4 times a day. I have tried supplements like entacapone, selegiline and a few others and they made me feel worse. I know you have to give them time to work and I did that but it didn't work. Also tried a few anti depressants and again I felt worse. Am just coming of Lexapro and am having hangover symptoms . Brain zaps as I call them and very weak and tired all the time. Also I am starting to have bad gate functions and allot of stiffness. Everyones PD as they say is different. I just don't know what to do. I am tired of playing pharmaceutical gymnastics. I am at a loss.🥺

[@poweroverpd]

Welcome home and thanks for your commitment to our country. You are not at a loss. You continue to advocate for yourself and do whatever you can to improve your quality of life. Make sure you are establishing a healthy exercise routine, something to improve flexibility and mobility. We are thinking of you, Barry! ❤️

Interesting. I believe we are on a journey into finding out the effects of chemicals used in our modern lifestyle as well as those added to processed foods. That said, dad who passed away just a year ago at the age of 92 with Parkinson’s, lived in a small village in the mountains away from life in general all his life. Clean air, clean living, no alcohol, no smoking. No exposure to any chemicals… there were none and he was never exposed to Paraquat. It was never used. He was a professional tennis player and was still playing well into his 60s. When he wasn’t able to continue, he joined the bowls team, walked several miles every day and basically never sat still in between. Men’s choir, computer classes, you name it, he gave it a go. He didn’t retire from the family business until he was 71. At the age of 80 he moved to be nearer to his children and at 81, he was diagnosed with PD. I thank God he was that age when first diagnosed. I dread to think how he would have reacted had he been diagnosed at an earlier age. I do think that his lifestyle helped in the sense that he was diagnosed quite late in his life, but he may be an exemption with regard to links to chemicals etc. by the way, his first cousin who is just a few years younger than dad, and who was brought up in his early years in the same village, also has PD.

[@poweroverpd]

Thanks for sharing your story of your dad. Sounds like an amazing man who lived life to the fullest. Agree, we must monitor the effects of chemicals used in our lives that we are unaware of and do whatever we can to bring awareness to change. As the fastest growing neurological disease suggests this is only the beginning of rapid growth. Thanks again for listening!

I watched the whole video expecting some small hope for some new research info or other new treatments and I just hot more depressed. If the dr put 20 percent of his enthusiasm into treatment and finding a future cure that alone would help people with pd.

[@MLStanleyK]

I am also fairly new diagnosed - 3 months ago - although I know now that what my PCP thought was just an Essential Tremor 3 years ago was actually PD. Am on C/L and it helps mostly but coming to terms with other aspects of this disease has been challenging. I have been a daily workout guy for 25 years - thank GOD, clean & sober for 22 years, but I remember us guys joking about 'Paraquat' years ago when we smoked lots of pot that was coated with PQ. I've wondered recently if that could be the reason why I have this now. Anyway, I will order the book. What I can say to others new on this ride - ask questions and be persistent even if most doctors get agitated by that! We DESERVE to have answers even if we have to get pushy! Thanks to you both on the video.

[@poweroverpd]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching. Your best advocate is YOU! 🙌

[@michelelindseth8250]

I believe people are being misdiagnosed either by mistake or intentionally. There are other conditions that cause tremors and/ or stiffness. I saw 3 different nuerologists; 2 said l did and the third said not. The only thing the yes doctors did was prescribe increasing amounts of C-L which did me little good. Are they in cahoots with big pharma? I finally decided to stop seeing doctors. I am much better on mega benfot 250 mg daily and magnesium threonate 144mg per day. No side effects, no tremor.

[@poweroverpd]

We apologize for any troubles with the audio. We look forward to having Dr. Dorsey join us again soon for updates and will focus on improving the audio quality then. Thanks!

[@JamesVaughnOFS]

Vietnam 1969-1972. Exposed to Agent Orange in the central highlands. Parkinson’s really sucks but I understand that the VA has become very proactive.

[@poweroverpd]

Welcome home. Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, support and awareness have come a long way! We still have a lot of work to do together.

[@alabamatide8192]

I have parks.

[@poweroverpd]

Sorry to hear that. I hope you find value in the series that sheds light on the various research and treatments offered. Also, find some local places to build a habit of movement exercises. We wish you all the best! You are not alone!

See my comment?

[@suzannelaw4811]

Ok

[@kazziemaccie]

You lost me at Co(n)vid P(l)andemic. And promoting shots in the arm for viruses. Wonder how many of these poisons triggered the next wave of PD? But hey, if it helps your book sales.....

[@mariamclaughlin661]

All talk bla bla. Nothing ever gets done

[@isabelmorfa3703]
