Parkinson's: A Man-Made Disease Interview with Dr. Ray Dorsey

Parkinson's: A Man-Made Disease Interview with Dr. Ray Dorsey
Powerful People Series
Join PFP Executive Director Dr. Nina Mosier as she sits down with Ray Dorsey, MD, MBA, to discuss factors in our environment that can lead to Parkinson's as part of our Powerful People series. Ray Dorsey is a professor of neurology and director of the Center for Human Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He is working to identify and eliminate the root causes of Parkinson's disease. He is co-author of the book, "Ending Parkinson's Disease," in which he and three other leading doctors lay out a plan to help prevent Parkinson's and improve care and treatment. The number of people diagnosed with PD has doubled to more than six million over the last twenty-five years and is projected to double again by 2040. Meanwhile, harmful pesticides that increase the risk of Parkinson’s continue to proliferate.

A close friend of mine developed PD two years ago during COVID after he received 5+ jabs in order to keep his job. I see a definite relationship to the vaccine. Devastating for many I'm sure.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thank you for sharing Doris and for taking the time to watch this interview!!

[@chantelborg1031]

My mum got Parkinson's after the 2nd covid jab.

[@danacaro-herman3530]

​@@chantelborg1031 It was discussed by many scientists that, PD would happen as a result of them💉

[@annb5610]

I got Parkinsons after the J and J jab...no previous symptoms 😢

I thought this was going to be another kook. Obviously, he’s a really bright, credentialed academic. Thank you for this.

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment Michael - we greatly appreciate it!!

[@eileensmith3044]

Could having radiation treatment for breast cancer and leg cancer cause Parkinson disease?

[@PowerforParkinsons]

We aren't aware of that specific correlation, Eileen. There are toxins that can lead to cancer so there could be a relationship that hasn't been identified. Not fair to have so much to deal with!

[@PowerforParkinsons]

Hi Pamela, thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. We are so sorry to hear that you are struggling with your PD so much. Unfortunately we can't provide any medical advice but we hope that our videos continue to support you in some small way.

whenever I hear the term "Tri-Chloro" I immediately think of pool chemicals. Specifically the chlorine tablets used to maintain the chlorine level of 1-3ppm. has anyone looked into this? These tablets are 99% Trichloro-S-TriazineTrione. 4 older guys in my neighborhood all have parkinson's and all have an inground chlorine pool and have used those tablets for 20+ years...Im not a scientist but shouldnt the scientific community situations like this?

[@PowerforParkinsons]

We aren't aware of the correlation, but it could be something to investigate. Thanks for listening to the interview!
