This is a very informative site. I plan to look into it more as my aunt developed Parkinson's disease. SHe used all manner of unhealthy pesticides, herbicides, fungicides back in the late 1970's and early 1980's to keep their grape and fruit trees going. She died of cancer, but she said.. "This Parkinson's symptoms are far worse than the cancer is.."

Back in the 90's the Neurological society tried to blame Parkinson's on Panic Attacks, depression and Heredity. I hope what your website explains will free my mind. I think chemicals have a lot to do with so many diseases that "Society" tries to blame on Genetics, "Raisin's" anything but "BIG BROTHER" and his chemicals.. The Doctor that treated my aunt became my friend when I was working at the VA.. She thought Aunt VA's problems were caused by the chemicals she used in the Orchards! Nothing else! Gardenz,, When did you decide to go organic? I did when I was about 12 years old.. about 1969.. We were all hippies then.. LOL!
