2. WHAT IS PD?
 Parkinson's disease (PD) is a
neurodegenerative brain disorder that
causes tremor (trembling of hands) and
slowness of movement due to the death
of 60% to 80% of brain cells.
 A person's brain slowly stops producing a
neurotransmitter “dopamine”. With less
and less dopamine, a person has less
and less ability to regulate their
movements, body and emotions.

3. FACTS
According to US
Centers for Disease
Control and
Prevention (CDC), PD
is the 14th top cause
of death in US.
Approximately
60,000 Americans
are diagnosed with
PD every year.
More than 5 mil
people worldwide
are living with PD.
Estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people suffer from PD in Malaysia.
3/5 Americans will
suffer from a
nervous system
disease such as PD
or Alzheimer's
(老年痴呆症)

4. CAUSES OF PD
Toxins
• Manganese 锰
• CO poisoning
(breathing in too
much carbon
monoxide)
Metabolic disorders
新陈代谢失调症
Other neurological disorders
Central nervous system disorders
(CNS - 中枢神经系统失调)
Peripheral nervous system disorders
(PNS - 外周神经系统失调)
Spinal cord disorders, brain damages,
amnesia, sleep disorders, migraines,
seizure disorders, dizziness, complex
regional pain syndrome & etc.
 The exact cause of PD is unknown, but 90% PD is due to the
combination of genetics & environment causes.

5. CAUSES OF PD
Food with Manganese
 Benefit of manganese:
proper enzyme
functioning, nutrient
absorption, wound
healing and bone
development.
 Manganese toxicity from
food sources is rare, but
can adversely affect the
neurological system.

Hospital of Malaysia & battery last for 5-8 years.

11. RISK FACTORS
