Last edited Mon Oct 20, 2025, 01:52 PM - Edit history (1)

Parkinson’s disease, once considered relatively rare, is now one of the most common neurological disorders in the world, and the second most common after Alzheimer’s disease. The number of people living with Parkinson’s has more than doubled in the past 25 years to 8.5 million, and is predicted to hit 25.2 million by 2050.

ETA:

The four things.

1. Drink coffee or tea
2. Be careful about dry-cleaning
3. Avoid pesticides
4. Consider using a water filter

Drink coffee or tea

Get a carbon bloc water filter to recuce that chemical

And avoid pesticides

That is the list.
