Answers:
Parkinson's disease is a very serious illness caused by the progressive deterioration of the nervous system or by destruction of connections in the brain!. Patients gradually lose the ability to control their muscles, lose the ability to hold their limbs still, lose their balance, lose their strength!. They often have tremors and eventually end up in wheelchairs essentially paralyzed, unable to control bladder or bowels, unable to do anything for themselves at all!. It's like being trapped inside a non-functioning body, but being aware of what's going on, quite a terrible way to go!. Scientists are attempting to develop treatments with stem-cells by transplanting new neurons (a type of brain cell) into affected areas of the brain, with some limited success!. There are also drugs or medications but these have very strong side effects including severe weight loss!. Patients tend to live 5 to 10 years after diagnosis before diseases like pneumonia tend to carry them off because they can't fight off communicable diseases like this very well!. But the new research is beginning to show promise as DNA and RNA research is narrowing down the real causes!. This will show us where to look for a real cure, not just treatment of symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
