Parkinson's Disease & VITILIGO
Recent posts on this subject have raised some interesting questions for
me in light of some observations we have made at Loma Linda University Medical
Center.
These being:
a. 90 % of Parkinson's patients seem to have blue, green or hazel eyes
as opposed to brown or dark eyes.
b. We have yet to see an African-American with Parkinson's Disease
Could it be that there is a relationship between the loss of the pigment
neuromelanin in the substantia nigra and people with skin which lacks melanin?
Or stated another way could melanin serve as a protector against Parkinson's
Disease?
