“Stranger Danger” Symptom Could Indicate Parkinson’s

What’s the only thing harder than treating Parkinson’s disease? 

Properly diagnosing it.  

That’s because this life-changing disease can present in many subtle ways in its earliest stages, making it challenging to identify.  

Until now…  

Because researchers have pinpointed a new warning sign that could be an early indicator of the disease.  

And it can feel like “stranger danger.”  

Have you ever felt like someone was standing behind you?  

You know, like when you’re standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes, and suddenly you feel there’s another person in the room?  

Or when you’re walking the dog, and you can’t help but turn around to make sure there is no one on your heels.  

But when you look… there’s never anyone there.  

I call that feeling “stranger danger.”  

And now it looks like it could be one of the earliest signs of Parkinson’s.  

For the new study, researchers from Switzerland and Spain analyzed the health data of 75 senior Parkinson’s patients, looking for a link between folks who experienced things – or people – that weren’t there and Parkinson’s progression.   

At the end, the data revealed some shocking findings! 

As it turns out, folks who experience mild hallucinations – like the feeling of someone or something being present – can be one of the earliest indicators of Parkinson’s disease. 

In fact, these symptoms can show up BEFORE the motor symptoms – like trembling and shaking – that are often considered the first signs of the disease.  

And here’s the big problem… 

Hallucinations are often brushed off by mainstream docs as medication side effects.  

This means your doctor could be ignoring CLEAR signs that you’re on the road to Parkinson’s.  

Even worse? Folks who experience hallucinations are more likely to experience more significant difficulties with memory, planning, and executive function.

So, if you’re experiencing “stranger danger” or any other type of hallucination, now is the time to talk to your doctor about it.  

And if he chalks it up to your medication, it’s time to get a second opinion.
