    Parkinson’s is caused by Lewey Bodies, but you have to get a spinal tap to test for them. Also, just because you have Lewey Bodies, doesn’t necessarily mean you will get dementia.

    Perusing the article, it seems this could be a test to determine, if you are already known to have Parkinson’s, if you will develope dementia?

    “Parkinson’s Belt” is a term. Is it related somehow? Similar toxins from the bacteria or water contaminated by industry/agriculture acts as germination for said harmful bacteria?
