Dr. Ray Dorsey, the David M. Levy Professor of Neurology at the University of Rochester and co-author of the book, “Ending Parkinson’s Disease, A Prescription for Action”, will detail the likely principal causes of Parkinson's disease. Among these are certain pesticides like paraquat, dry cleaning chemicals such as those found at Marine base Camp Lejeune, and air pollution. He will identify likely sources of these toxicants in our community. With the causes identified, we can now take steps to reduce our exposure, slow our disease progression, and create a future where Parkinson's is increasingly rare. A Q&A period followed by a book signing will also be featured.
