"Parkinson's was a v rare disease until the early 20th century," says Bas Bloem, a globally recognized expert on the care and cause of Parkinson's disease. 'Then with the agricultural revolution, chemical revolution, and the explosion of pesticide use, rates started to climb.' #paraquat #glyphosate observatoiredeleurope.com/park

L'Observatoire de l'Europe · ‘Parkinson’s is a man-made disease’In the summer of 1982, seven heroin users were admitted to a California hospital paralyzed and mute.
