> If a cause is known, > remedies can be developed as was the case for Polio or Aids. There may be not one cause but several. The fact that there are more cases of PD in the īgreen beltsī points to pesticides or fertilizers. But PD existed before intensive agricultural techniques so chemicals may not be the only cause. As for trauma, it can cause parkinsonism, not quite the same. The spanish flu also left lesions that were similar to PD but were parkinsonism. Difficult to draw the line since PD is itself a syndrome and has different forms. One common factor may be inflammation but the reasons for this inflammation may be different.
