The Truth about Parkinsons Disease and Caffeine

Many arguments started when a medical study indicated that caffeine can contribute to helping victims of Parkinson's disease.  It seems to me, that caffeine is going to cause harm, no matter how it may help.  Beyond a moderate quantity, caffeine siphons off your dopamine neurons, as you will find out in my book, "The Truth About Caffeine".   Caffeine can enslave you to have an ever increasing consumption even though you may now consume it modestly.   As with any drug, the body quickly discovers how to render caffeine's effects void, demanding larger quantities to feel any further stimulation.  Though massive intake of caffeine entails damage and can lead to death.   

Caffeine is the most popular brain stimulant that helps to release dopamine, which provides motivation, alertness, and emotional highs.  Caffeine is a cherished way to energized the brain, not unlike other strong drugs, making a wide and easy path for the dopamine to rush out.   Dopamine delivers messages for brain, as a neuro-transmitter, responsible for our reaction time, energy output, alertness, spontaneity, caution, and similar message functions.  Furthermore, our addiction to stimulants is controlled by dopamine.  

Large quantities of caffeine can quickly expend the levels of dopamine and diminish the production of dopamine creating brain cells.  As a result, you feel, fatigued, and exhausted.  Yet, more caffeine is consumed returning the rush of energy.   The outflow of dopamine neurons keeps going while caught in this cycle.  

Dopamine declines with age, however caffeine and other stimulants accelerate the dopamine decline and speed up the process of the brain aging.  Parkinson's disease is defined as a severe lessoning of dopamine neurons.  Parkinson's disease suffers can benefit with dopamine flow stimulated by caffeine.  Yet, before the disease's symptoms are noticeable, 70 to 80 percent of the dopamine neurons are forever lost.  

Caffeine leads to the development of other health problems.  As caffeine speeds up the production of our tension hormone, our endocrine glands become depleted.  Just one cup of a caffeine-containing beverage is enough to trigger the brain (pituitary glands) to send a message to the adrenal glands to release the tension hormones adrenalin and cortisol to the bloodstream.  

Whenever you're in a dangerous situation, your tension hormones are released, sending a blast of warmth throughout your body.  In reality, the blast of energy we get from caffeine is directly from a tension hormone.  The tension hormones are send out as part of our defence system, activated by caffeine.  The defence system, after some time, loses its strength.  

Relentless false adrenalin sent by caffeine consumption, wears out the glands until they can not release enough hormones.  With greater pressure put on the glands, a caffeine addict is driven to revive his energy rush, and keep increasing his intake, causing the glands to become exhausted.  This cycle cannot continue without consequences.  

The adrenal gland of heavy caffeine consumers becomes emptied, as the time goes on.  Excess production by the tension hormones, become toxic, later changing the blood composition, leading to destructive alterations in the endocrine, immune and nervous systems.  

The end result might entail one of all of these items; continuous fatigue, increased blood sugar and insulin levels, weight gain, excessive blood pressure, irritation, tension, depression, sleeping disorder, frequent virus outbreaks, ulcers, thinning of the skin, bone loss, thyroid problems, and other serious signs of health deterioration.
