The Parkinson’s Threat Hiding in Your Home

If you have a loved one living with Parkinson’s, you know how truly sinister this disease can be.

It may start as a small tremor… a nuisance.

But it quickly turns into a monster that can steal your mobility, your emotional well-being, your ability to sleep, and even your independence.

Mainstream medicine hasn’t had a lot of good advice for people looking to avoid Parkinson’s.

They just chalk it up to bad genes… or bad luck.

But there may be a whole lot more to the story.

New research is showing that a significant Parkinson’s trigger may be hiding right inside your home.

And it comes from the last place you’d expect…

We have endless federal, state, and local regulations designed to keep our drinking water safe.

So you’d never expect that the water coming out of your faucet could actually increase your Parkinson’s risk.

But that may be exactly what’s happening.

New research has found that your odds of developing Parkinson’s can increase by as much as 62% if your drinking water comes from newer, limestone aquifers.

Now, I’m not crazy… I don’t expect you to know the exact composition of your local aquifer.

But here’s what’s important to know…

These newer aquifers tend to be more porous. And that’s allowing them to be infiltrated with toxic pesticides and herbicides.

Can these chemicals really trigger Parkinson’s?

Oh, you bet.

Just ask the soldiers who fought in Vietnam and were exposed to the herbicide known as “Agent Orange.” We now know that Agent Orange is linked to Parkinson’s… and many veterans went on to develop the disease.

And since that time, there have been numerous studies showing that people with the highest exposure to pesticides and herbicides are more likely to develop Parkinson’s.

Now, there’s not a lot you can do about the source of water for your home. But there’s plenty you can do about what actually comes out of your tap.

Investing in a simple activated carbon filter or reverse osmosis system can help keep pesticides and herbicides out of your drinking water.

Even if you feel relatively good about your drinking water supply, I think an investment in these filters is a good idea.

Because the problem of pesticide and herbicide contamination in our water supply isn’t going to get better…

Trust me, it’s only going to get worse.
