The compound we are going to discuss in this article is showing not only great promise in the prevention of Parkinson’s disease, it can also help suffers feel better.

It’s cheap, part of the natural food chain and has been medically proven to help.

So what is it this compound? Let’s take a look and its name may come as a surprise!
The compound is well known and is:

Nicotine – and in its organic form (not consumed in cigarettes) is proven to prevent Parkinson’s disease and also help suffers with the condition.

Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of diseases that occur less frequently among cigarette smokers than in non-smokers.

Smoking is of course harmful, no one should take it up to prevent or alleviate Parkinson’s disease but get it in natural organic form.

Nicotine removed from cigarettes in its natural state is a safe, non toxic and is found in many common foods and vegetables including Tomatoes, potatoes chilies and tea to name a few.

Nicotine & Parkinson’s Disease

Research has shown that some of the movement difficulties experienced by Parkinson suffers are less severe after smoking, taking nicotine gum or nicotine patches.

The medical community have been aware for around 30 years that fewer smokers get Parkinson's diseases than non-smokers.

The observation was first made in the 1970’s and similar results have been shown in all medical tests since.

Nicotine can prevent and provide relief to sufferers.

Prevention

The main reason underlying the protective action of nicotine is believed to be its ability to increase the effect of neurotrophic factors that help the survival of dopaminergic neurons. Nicotine is believed to increase the number of “nicotinic" receptors in the brain.

These receptors help with the production and release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Parkinson's disease occurs when brain cells that produce dopamine, an important chemical messenger die.
People don't get Parkinson's disease until around 80% of the dopamine-producing cells are dead.

Nicotine protects these cells against damage and as a consequence prevents the disease.

Relief for suffers

Nicotine is believed to help lessen memory difficulties which occur in people with Parkinson's disease.

The number of nicotinic receptors is decreased in the brains of people who have Parkinson's disease.

It is believed that nicotine may lead to extra stimulation of these remaining nicotinic receptors and thus provide relief for suffers.

Products

Nicotine is available in patches and gum and several companies have looked at nicotine water as a safe delivery method for organic nicotine with no added chemicals.

Nicotine water was originally promoted to people when they didn’t want to or could not smoke but has a large following of people who now take it for its potential health benefits.

Nicotine water has the advantage of providing organic nicotine with no other chemicals added.

Expect a lot more nicotine products in future as it is proven to improve memory, attention and concentration it has applications for a number of other conditions to.

Over the years nicotine has suffered an image problem due to its association with cigarette smoking but that is now changing as the medical community are seeing it as natures wonder drug with huge potential health benefits.
