    like what medicine? do you even know what parkinsons is? You show me a medicine that can induce the creation of phosphorylated alpha synuclein.

      Okay, true, technically not Parkinsons. But medicines can cause symptoms that are the same as those of the most visible symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Hands shaking, difficulty in walking, mind not working completely. No idea of the pharmacology behind it. All I know that I’ve seen it happen.

        tremor and parkinsons are not the same… i say this as someone who has parkinsons. you shouldn’t say stuff if you have no idea what you’re talking about, dumb people will believe it and you spreading misinfo.

          True that. And I understand it was impolite of me to not correct this.

          I would still like to remind that the claim “he has Parkinson’s” is not by me. What is known is that he has tremors, and people jump the gun and assume that’s Parkinson’s. No, it is not necessarily Parkinson’s.

          It can also be just some other – strong – drugs having tremor as a side effect. And then what those medications might be (partially?) healing is more relevant than whether one can live long with Parkinson’s or not.
