ATH is clearing pursuing the right target – Parkinson’s disease ...
Asked about the future of Parkinson’s disease in the US, Dr Ray Dorsey says,
“We’re on the tip of a very, very large iceberg.”
Dorsey, a neurologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center and
author of Ending Parkinson’s Disease, believes a Parkinson’s epidemic
is on the horizon. Parkinson’s is already the fastest-growing neurological
disorder in the world; in the US, the number of people with Parkinson’s
has increased 35% the last 10 years, says Dorsey, and “We think over the
next 25 years it will double again.”
Most cases of Parkinson’s disease are considered idiopathic – they lack
a clear cause. Yet researchers increasingly believe that one factor is
environmental exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), a chemical compound
used in industrial degreasing, dry-cleaning and household products such
as some shoe polishes and carpet cleaners.
TCE is a carcinogen linked to renal cell carcinoma, cancers of the cervix,
liver, biliary passages, lymphatic system and male breast tissue, and fetal
cardiac defects, among other effects. Its known relationship to Parkinson’s
may often be overlooked due to the fact that exposure to TCE can predate
the disease’s onset by decades. While some people exposed may sicken
quickly, others may unknowingly work or live on contaminated sites
for most of their lives before developing symptoms of Parkinson’s.
