115 Make Your Voices Heard: Ban Chemicals that Cause Diseases

from The Parkinson's Experience podcast · host 17 Branches

This is a very important topic and one in which you can make a difference. Our environment is sickening the population. Parkinson's disease is one example of a condition that likely was caused by pesticides and other toxic chemicals in our water, food, air and soil. All of us can contribute to preventing future generations from getting Parkinson's and other diseases. Those already diagnosed may benefit as well. If we avoid these chemicals now, we may slow the progression of the disease just as exercise has been proven to do so. Bottom line: we need to work together to get these destructive chemicals banned forever. I spoke with Dr. Ray Dorsey on this topic. He and his colleagues have been sounding the alarm on all the ways certain chemicals are causing the increase in PD cases all over the world. Their first book, "Ending Parkinson's", started the conversation on preventing and treating the disease. In their new book, "The Parkinson's Plan", there is specific plan for each person or community to follow in order to live a healthier life and advocate for change to help prevent future generations from suffering due to exposure to these toxic substances. Listen on to hear Dr. Dorsey's passion and efforts to ban harmful chemicals still being used in our communities. Let's make our voices heard and advocate to ban pesticides and harmful chemicals. https://pdplan.org/ https://www.michaeljfox.org/news/national-plan-end-parkinsons-act-makes-progress-congress https://www.atria.org/ [email protected] (Dr. Dorsey's email address) https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member https://www.dbsandme.com/en.html
