You write a very convincingly drunk nrrdgrrl. However, I am wondering about the myelin you mention in another comment. Parkinsonism is from damage to a particular layer of brain tissue. Would the myelin begin failing on long nerves from excessive electrical activity, which is probably wearing/damaging in similar ways as oxidation agents within the tissues and inside the cells are to DNA, MRNA, and so on. If you ahve that kind of myelin damage, say the ocular ones, then you don't just have Parkinsonism, you have Lou Gehrig's disease, multiple sclerosis, that kind of thing.
