# 407 - Parkinsons and other forms of dementia are preventable - Dr Ray Dorsey

Neurologist Dr Ray Dorsey author of Ending parkinsons disease returns to the podcast. Clearly theres a huge interest in all forms of dementia, in Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease and Lewy body dementia which is the disease to which Robin Williams sadly succumbed only a few years ago. So in this episode we talk about Parkinsons disease, how it was discovered, its symptoms but crucially why Dr Dorsey and other experts believe it is preventable. We hear of the environmental factors that Dr Dorsey believes are causing Parkinsons and other forms of dementia, including dry cleaning chemicals, emissions from cars and toxins contaminating our food. We learn that only in a very small number of cases of Parkinsons are genetics implicated, which further points to factors outside the body that are driving this and other forms of cognitive decline. It is also Dr Dorsey's belief that contamination by toxins is what is driving the huge spike in cases of autism in recent years.
