Parkinson’s “timebomb” ready to EXPLODE?

Despite the countless BREAKTHOUGHS…

And the groundbreaking THERAPIES aimed to stop it…

Parkinson’s disease continues to stay one step ahead of the scientists and researchers working to find a cure.

And unfortunately, I have more to report on the Parkinson’s front.

Because a dormant, “timebomb” could soon tip the scales leading to MORE future Parkinson’s cases.

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

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

The culprit?

Trichloroethylene – aka TCE.

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

And unfortunately, this latest 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.

Take a 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’ for the disease, staying active is one of the best ways to keep the symptoms at bay. Taking daily walks, and even playing golf are great ways to stay active without overdoing it.

To fighting Parkinson’s,
