Parkinsons, Caffeine & Coffee - the Untold Truth

There Is A Lot Of Controversy Regarding A Study That Suggests That Caffeine Can Treat Parkinson's illness. However, in my opinion, caffeine cannot help without causing harm. Most people would be surprised to discover, how high caffeine ingestion cuts down the amount of dopamine nerve cell, well documented in my book, "The Truth About Caffeine". And, even if a person consumes it moderately, sooner or later, he will increase his dosages. When the body gets used to caffeine it cancels its effect, like any drug, needing a growing ingestion to regain its potency. Yet, huge amounts of caffeine invites destruction and possible fatalities.

Motivation, alertness and even emotional peaks stem from dopamine being released by the highly desired caffeine, as it energizes the brain. As all other brain stimulant and heavy drugs, people use caffeine to stimulate the brain for the quick acceleration of dopamine. As the chief neuro-transmitter, dopamine performs as a messenger for the brain, taking care of the vitality levels, vigilance, acuity, ability to respond, spontaneity and similar functions. Moreover, dopamine is responsible for our stimulant addiction.

Heavy caffeine ingestion not only reduced the amount of dopamine, but also dopamine creating brain cells. You then feel weary and tried. To fix this, you reach for another dose of caffeine. This is a cycle of constant depletion of dopamine nerve cell.

The process of aging's taking away dopamine is greatly increased with caffeine ingestion. Parkinson's illness is the result of a serious reduction of dopamine nerve cell. Those with Parkinson's illness gain from caffeine's stimulation on dopamine secrete. However, approximately 70 to 80 percent of dopamine nerve cell are irreversibly lost before the symptoms of illness become noticeable.

Various other health difficulties are caused by caffeine. The adrenal glands empty as caffeine expands the production of our tension hormones. Right into the bloodstream goes the tension hormones adrenalin and cortisol, when the adrenal gland receives the message from our pituitary gland, in our brain, that is all started from a single cup of a caffeinated drink.

A warm sensation of blood overwhelms us as the tension hormones are released, during risky circumstances. The stimulation delivered from caffeine is really from a tension hormone. Caffeine is a strong stimulant and an irritant that triggers the body's defense response by releasing the tension hormones. Later on, this defense response gets worn out.

Through consuming caffeine, you secrete an ongoing quantity of fake adrenalin and wear out the glands to a point that not enough hormones can be secrete. Looking to experience the former adrenalin jolt, a caffeine user begins to increase his caffeine ingestion, placing more pressure on the glands, which cannot cope with the addict' demands. The logical results of this cycle will become apparent.

In the near future, the people that consume caffeine suffer from adrenal depletion. Overproduction of tension hormones on a regular basis, become toxic, and after a while changes the blood composition that harms how the immune, endocrine and nervous system function.

The logical conclusion could be any or this entire group; chronic fatigue, higher blood sugar and insulin levels, weight gain, increased blood pressure, irritation, stress, depression, sleeping problems, frequent virus outbreaks, ulcers, thinning of the skin, bone loss, thyroid problems, and other warning signs of health deterioration.

Energy Drinks: Can it Cure Parkinson's Disease?

By: Ma Ku | 17/12/2007 | Health
Treating Parkinson's disease with caffeine, as discussed in medical research, has started many heated conversations. I can't help but think that caffeine has a high cost, even if it does help. Over doing caffeine takes away your dopamine, as I illustrate in my book titled, "The Truth About Caffeine". An individual will continue to want bigger quantities of caffeine, no matter what amount he started consuming. When the body gets used to caffeine it cancels its effect, like any drug, needing a growing consumption to regain its potency. Even still, a lot of caffeine can cause harm and take away life.

Caffeine: Can it Cure Parkinson's Disease?

Caffeine's medical use for treating Parkinson's disease is a subject of much debate. However, in my opinion, caffeine cannot help without causing harm. In my book "The Truth about Caffeine" I explain that excessive caffeine ingestion depletes the dopamine somatic cell. While you may ingest caffeine at a reasonable level, as you become more dependent on it, your demand will increase. As with any drug, the body quickly discovers how to render caffeine's effects void, demanding larger quantities to feel any further stimulation. Several risks, along with death can accompany large dosages of caffeine.

What you Don't Know About Caffeine & Parkinson's Disease

It may come as a shock to you that, as I discuss in my book, "The Truth About Caffeine", large amounts of caffeine use removes some of your dopamine somatic cell.

However, high levels of caffeine can be dangerous and even fatal.
