A Parkinson’s TRIGGER hiding in plain sight?

The signs of Parkinson’s disease are sometimes hard to notice…

Until years later when the debilitating symptoms of the disease take over your body and independence…

Which means you need EVERY weapon in your arsenal to protect against early Parkinson’s development.

Today, we’re informing you about a potential Parkinson’s “trigger” that may be hard to detect… but it’s one that you identify and STOP.

Here’s what you need to know… and steps to stay safe.

Scientists from University of California San Francisco discovered that individuals previously exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE)—a toxic, industrial solvent—are 70% MORE likely to develop the disease.

TCE is a chemical compound used in industrial degreasing, dry-cleaning, and even household products like shoe polishes and carpet cleaners…

And unfortunately, this study links TCE exposure to drinking water—prompting researchers to call this a “timebomb” for more Parkinson’s cases.

The study is based on data from tens of thousands of former marines stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina over a decade. The water supply there was contaminated with TCE and other volatile organic compounds and, as a result, it’s now the focus of a massive class-action lawsuit because former vets stationed there developed countless diseases—including Parkinson’s.

While this discovery is linked to prolonged exposure and is also tied specifically to the Camp Lejeune tragedy, TCE still needs to be avoided as trace amounts are found in some household chemicals.

If you’re worried about TCE exposure, you can take steps to eliminate it from your house.

Look at the labels of any polishes, degreasers, and carpet cleaners in your house. If trichloroethylene is listed on the label, it’s time to get rid of it!

But don’t just toss it in the trash.

Contact your local public works department to find out where to safely dispose of it. Most trash collection sites have special areas where you can drop off products with chemicals.

And when it comes to Parkinson’s?

While there’s no ‘cure’, staying active is one of the best ways to keep symptoms at bay. Taking daily walks and even playing golf are great ways to stay active without overdoing it.

To fighting Parkinson’s early,
