Gut-Brain Connection in Parkinson’s Disease

Power Over Parkinson's

15,701 views

Listen as Dr. Richard Manfready, Instructor in Medicine in Digestive Diseases at Rush University Medical Center, shares the gut-brain connection in Parkinson’s Disease. Dr. Manfready elaborates on his research that has him working backwards in a remarkable way. He has taken the known factors about Parkinson’s – loss of dopamine producing cells due to misfolded proteins - and has notably taken a step back from there. By finding that inflammation can cause proteins to misfold, and working backward, he’s asked the question: what causes the inflammation? Listen as he comments on what he’s finding as a reason for this disease-inducing inflammation.

Great interview. Moderator and MD. I loved that the Moderator asked to the point sensible questions and the Dr gave factual information and no false hope. Gave me another avenue to travel being a caregiver of a Parkinson's patient. Thank you.

Does a leaky gut lead to Parkinson's disease?

Are there any tests you can do to see if there are Lewy bodies or these problematic proteins present in our gut ? Why does no one talk about testing ? None of this even matters if you can’t detect it and take action early. Incompetent doctors

Something in the food - yes it's glyphosate - it chelates copper and other crucial minerals and affects beneficial microbes.

Would be nice to have answer ???

I'm guessing food sensitivities? Especially proteins such as: gluten and casein? The body attacks the protein that it lacks the enzymes to digest, and ends up attacking it self? 💔

Thanks for the program. The Microbiome appears to build neurotransmitters involved in PD. I'm a clinical pharmacist working in moving correct neurotransmitters via enhanced lymph system function to the proper lymph nodes. Walking seems to help because the lymph system needs muscle movement to work. More is on my personal channel.

The experts in this field don’t seem to have an interest at all in early diagnosis. The neurologist method of diagnosing by a questionnaire is a complete joke

Thanks 🙏 good info.

Terrific/informative interview. I highly recommend it.

Does SERRAPEPTASE help in removable of accumulated alpha synuclein protein in Parkinson's disease?

This was very interesting.

Does celiac disease make your chances for Parkinson’s worse ?

By constipation, do you mean lack of parastolsis, or do you mean the feces itself?

Effective pre & pro biotics DO NOT COME IN A PILL. I've found the answer in fermentation. And NOT COMMERCIAL ferments. Do it yourself. It's easy. Cultures have been doing it for thousands of years. These days ask Google.

What about penicillin, I had strep throat a every year from 5-11, stomach issues afterwards

What about the neurotoxin Hydrogen hexafluoride put in the drinking water by many municipalities?

Dr Dale Bredesen talks aboiut the many and varied contributing factors and of couirse diet is a major one. How could it not be as we are literally made from what we eat. And as fibre is only found in plants and Zero in flesh then its also obvious a plant rich, plant exclusive diet, plant based diet is going to be a major contributor to the constipation issue and it's effect of the brain.
