END Parkinson’s… With a Vitamin?!

Drug researchers are always looking for the next big thing when it comes to treating Parkinson’s.
If they can find a chemical way to stops this disease… they can turn it into a drug… and charge millions for it.
But here’s the problem… they can’t patent something natural.
And as it turns out, one of the best things out there for Parkinson’s is an all-natural vitamin.
Bad news for Big Pharma. But good news for you and me.
A new study, in the journal Cell Research,found that vitamin B12 can block the cascade of events that lead to Parkinson’s disease.
You see, there’s a type of Parkinson’s disease called inheritable Parkinson’s.
The researchers in the study found people with this type of Parkinson’s have a mutation in their genes which makes an enzyme called LRRK2.
When the enzyme LRRK2 is produced, inflammation soars and damages your brain – leading to the disease.
While there are experimental drugs that stop LRRK2, they all have huge side-effects.
But it turns out that vitamin B12 can BLOCK LRRK2… without any damaging your health.
Now, not everyone has inheritable Parkinson’s and it is not known if vitamin B12 can help people with other forms of Parkinson’s.
But most people aren’t getting enough vitamin B12 anyway – so you might as well take it.
And vitamin B12 can do other wonders for your brain. It’s been proven to stop age-related brain shrinkage, and even REVERSE Alzheimer’s.
You can get vitamin B12 from your local pharmacy. Just be sure to purchase the sublingual kind (it melts under your tongue) because it’s best absorbed by your body.
