United States researchers suggest there is a link between statin heart drugs and Parkinson's disease. A small study found people with low cholesterol increased their risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The University of North Carolina is set to study 16,000 people to see if the link is real and causal. It is estimated that 12 million Americans take cholesterol-lowering drugs including Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor, and Crestor.

My symptoms started at the age of 47. My fingers on my left hand were stiff and were difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked did I hurt.I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later, it was the onset of tremors starting in my right hand that caused my other symptoms to be recognized as Parkinson's.I am now 59. With the new herbal medicine i purchase from totalcureherbalfoundation.blogspot.com was my only way to get fast relief from this PD,their herbal supplement effectively reverse my Parkinson's disease condition and alleviate all my symptoms.
