Since I was younger, I noticed that there are a lot of older folks in Penticton that have the shakes real bad. I was once told by a very smart woman who is also a natural therapist/naturopath that people generate parkinson’s from pesticides. This includes pesticides in food, on food and around food. The problem is that in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s nobody ever heard of organic pesticides, or the word organic. In those days crop dusters would swoop down and cover an entire parcel of land with a chemical so strong, it would kill every living thing in the vacinity. That includes the bugs, birds, and the fish which are influenced by the run-off.

When fruit for example is sprayed it is expected that the exterior will be coated enough to either kill bugs that try to eat them or simply repel them. Unfortunatly when the product goes to market and is hosed down prior to hitting the shelf, not everything is cleaned and disinfected. Then people obviously would chow an entire apple; skin, core, and pesticide traces included. 

Now the proof I found was taken from when I worked in retail and found old people coming in with shakes so bad they couldn’t read the labels on the sides of product boxes. And I would see this on a nearly daily basis. So much so infact that I wanted to do my own little experiment to see if what I learned was true.

When I would see someone like this come into the store, I would walk up and offer to help them and then make small chat and eventually ”pop” the question: Do you or have you lived in an orchard in the valley? (pretending like I knew them from somewhere) And sure enough, every single person that was shaking like this gave me a response something like this: “I live in Kaleden in an apple and pear orchard, have lived there since I was 12″. Another man and wife had the same story but from Naramata and both had the shakes SUPER bad.

 Point is, people in Penticton and I’m guessing other places were exposed to pesticides when they were younger and now suffer. It’s noticable in Penticton probably because its 65% seniors. The chemical gets into your bloodstream and destroys your nervous system including the myelin sheath which is the insulation around the fibers in your brain that allow for motor movement. This in turn creates a form of “short circut” in the brain that creates that involuntary action of parkinsons.

ADVICE: Watch what your kids eat! Clean your Mexican veggies and fruits! I don’t eat nothing but organic, cause what is an extra dollar when you could be reducing something as horrible as parkinsons for yourself in the future.

Think about it!
