This was the most informative webinar that I've seen so far on PD and gastrointestinal problems. Thanks so much PCLA!

[@marycain5668]

What a lovely presentation! I loved that you had such a broad scope and yet got to the bottom of it based on your experiences. Really good information. Kudos.

[@HeyKimmi]

I have watched hundreds of PD videos and this was the best!!! How does one go about getting to see you, Dr. Wael El-Nachef? My mother has PD and gastro issues, and we have been unable to find a dr with experience with both gastro issues AND Parkinsons. (We are in Ventura County)

Thanks, great info! My channel has been exploring the Microbiome, Lymph System and relationship to PD. Clinical trials are on the horizon...

Super helpful-excellent, actionable details!

[@deborahrose9568]

wonderful, informative presentation which will help me greatly when I see my neurologist next month.

[@joesimpson4655]

are there any tests you can do to see if there are lewy bodies in your nerves ? Is genetics a risk factor for getting Parkinson’s ? My dad has atypical Parkinson’s and the incompetent neuro doctors are unable to properly diagnose which sub type he has (msa, dlb, psp)

[@ParkinsonsCommunityLosAngeles]

Sorry to hear you're having difficulty with a proper diagnosis. We will be featuring Dr. Yvette Bordelon who specializes in atypical Parkinsonisms, on July 12, 11am PST. Please register for this virtual event, you may find it helpful: bit.ly/2024_PSP
Also, in this video of Dr. Ray Dorsey, he touches on your question about heritability (and suggests PD is one of the least heritable diseases).
