69. Stay Alert to Parkinson's Disease Now

Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. The symptoms generally come on slowly over time. Early in the disease, the most obvious are shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty with walking. Thinking and behavioral problems may also occur. Dementia becomes common in the advanced stages of the disease. Depression and anxiety are also common, occurring in more than a third of people with PD. Other symptoms include sensory, sleep, and emotional problems. The main motor symptoms are collectively called "parkinsonism", or a "parkinsonian syndrome".
The cause of Parkinson's disease is generally unknown, but believed to involve both genetic and environmental factors. Those with a family member affected are more likely to get the disease themselves. There is also an increased risk in people exposed to certain pesticides and among those who have had prior head injuries, while there is a reduced risk in tobacco smokers and those who drink coffee or tea. The motor symptoms of the disease result from the death of cells in the substantia nigra, a region of the midbrain. This results in not enough dopamine in these areas. The reason for this cell death is poorly understood, but involves the build-up of proteins into Lewy bodies in the neurons. Diagnosis of typical cases is mainly based on symptoms, with tests such as neuroimaging being used to rule out other diseases.

There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, with treatment directed at improving symptoms. Initial treatment is typically with the antiparkinson medication levodopa (L-DOPA), with dopamine agonists being used once levodopa becomes less effective. As the disease progresses and neurons continue to be lost, these medications become less effective while at the same time they produce a complication marked by involuntary writhing movements. Diet and some forms of rehabilitation have shown some effectiveness at improving symptoms. Surgery to place microelectrodes for deep brain stimulation has been used to reduce motor symptoms in severe cases where drugs are ineffective. Evidence for treatments for the non-movement-related symptoms of PD, such as sleep disturbances and emotional problems, is less strong.

In 2015, PD affected 6.2 million people and resulted in about 117,400 deaths globally. Parkinson's disease typically occurs in people over the age of 60, of which about one percent are affected. Males are more often affected than females at a ratio of around 3:2. When it is seen in people before the age of 50, it is called young-onset PD. The average life expectancy following diagnosis is between 7 and 14 years. The disease is named after the English doctor James Parkinson, who published the first detailed description in An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, in 1817. Public awareness campaigns include World Parkinson's Day (on the birthday of James Parkinson, 11 April) and the use of a red tulip as the symbol of the disease. People with Parkinson's who have increased the public's awareness of the condition include actor Michael J. Fox, Olympic cyclist Davis Phinney, and late professional boxer Muhammad Ali.

There is no cure for Parkinson's disease.
To prevent Parkinson's disease, read a lot of books and join communities, to stimulate your brain. Besides, drink one cup of coffee each day, or two cups of green tea everyday to boost caffeine substance in the blood.

Brain consists of cells interconnected to each other. In reality, imagine a brain is like a city full of houses. One house is like one cell in the brain. Each house must have cables connected to the electricity poles, which will connect to the main power source. Then, you can have electricity at home.

Electricity in real life is like battery. You need to recharge that battery so it can function properly.


If you see the above brain picture, the lines represent your memory. When you access that memory often, the line is getting stronger, and you'll remember it more. When you don't access that memory, the line is getting weaker, and with time, you'll forget.

An example case, is when there's an exam tomorrow. You'll try to remember, memorise all your notes. That's when you create a line. That line is getting stronger and stronger when you finally remember the notes. After the exam, especially after you graduate, you rarely access that memory, the lines are getting weaker, and you lose some or all of your memorisation you learnt at school.

If you read books, socialise more, your brain will maintain the memory lines of common words, your family names, including reflex on how to perform daily activities. The chance of survival may increase.

Research shows that the blood of a person with Parkinson disease is missing caffeine. It's still early to say that caffeine (cigarette, tea, coffee, etc) can cure Parkinson, so it's best to limit to one to two cups each day.

Caffeine is a type of drug.
It can also result to addiction.
I'd refrain from any addiction.

67. First Aid to Heart Attack

Heart is located at the left side of our body (a bit to the left). Consequently, if you have heart disease, you are advised not to sleep on the left side.


During times when a person experiences a heart attack, bend your hand's four fingers inward at 45 degrees, to make a small bowl out of your hand. Hit the patient's left elbow pit with your bowl hand hard, repeatedly.

The main vein on the left hand's elbow pit contributes the most blood supply to the heart. Hitting this part, may help save the patient.

66. More Healthy, More Fit, More and More

Introducing new toothpaste, to cure sensitive teeth. It can ease your pain when you eat hot / cold food.

This is misleading.

Use this to strengthen your nails, use that to prevent sensitive teeth. It's just marketing campaign. Your teeth is fine, your nails are fine, you are fine if you feel fine.

You have no complaints before. Someone told you to use that product to strengthen your nails after you remove the nail polish. Well, use it to your nails, and you'll have sensitive nails after that.

You have no complaints before. Someone / some advertisements promote special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. You think you'll also be covered anyway because your teeth gets strengthening treatment. You can use it and your teeth will become sensitive to adjust to that toothpaste.

You're fine just the way you are. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop pretending to be weak.

Take care.

65. An Experiment to Prove The Role of Oxygen in Hair Growth

Asking a fish to fly is impossible, placing a fish in a dog house suffocates the fish. Fish are meant to live in the water. The same goes with your body, you need oxygen to breathe.

Wearing a hat all the time suffocates your hairs, and you'll lose hairs eventually. I'm not gonna try and let you see, I'm not a fool.

However, if you'd like to try, here are several notes to help you:
  • Wear a tight hat, so the wind won't blow your hat easily
  • Change the hat everyday, because you need to wear clean hat everyday. Ensure that your losing hair later, is not because of other factors, such as dirt, bacteria, or other aspects.
  • Don't forget to wash your hair once in every two days too, to remove the sweat factor from the overall reasons of your hair loss
  • Wear the hat all the time, even when you sleep, to speed up the process (except when you wash your hair and dry it)
  • Don't tie your hair, because that may contribute to your losing hair later.
  • Continue this treatment for a period of one month (don't forget to also take a picture of your hair thickness, close up from the crown of your head, so you can compare the thickness later)

Let us know by commenting below, so we can monitor your experiments too. You can also email me, submit your experiments, and I'll share your findings for everyone here. Have fun!
