I felt the need to post this topic that has been in the news. After some long thinking, i have decided to stick with this forum, but don't plan on going back to the other forum.

This study was retroactive. They simply reviewed old records of health professionals to see the effect of anti inflamatory drugs such as ibuprofen on pd. They claimed there was a 45 % less pd in people who took the drug at least twice a week.

Dr. Lieberman urged people to be cautious in interpreting these results.

I have taken 800mg of ibuprofen every five hours years before i was diagosed with pd and have continued to take it every day for arthritis up until the present time. It goes without saying, i am very skeptical of this study.
Many conclusions were stated, among which includes the dopamine cells were likely to be inflamed, therefore it semed reasonable to imply, taking an inflamatory drug would prevnent pd. That is pure speculation.
