Why is the EPA banning TCE for Parkinson's? The odds ratio for the dry cleaning chemical TCE and association with later Parkinson's is ridiculously high. and the community should thank the EPA and embrace this decision as a huge WIN for Parkinson's. This is a BIG DEAL.

We are already at ~12 million cases worldwide w/ Parkinson's which is approaching where we thought we would be in 2040. Can we double down and spend some money and time on preventing cases and lifting the living? Only a few pennies on the dollar go to prevention research.

Do you know how many people hide their diagnosis of Parkinson's disease? HALF (50%). Can you believe it?
