For years, Williams had openly discussed his battle with depression and also with substance abuse. Board-certified neurologist Dr. Russell Blaylock believes that Williams' substance abuse — specifically his use of cocaine — was at the root of his Parkinson's disease. In fact, a major study has found that cocaine users are at much higher risk for the brain illness.
"Robin said in interviews that he used a lot of cocaine in his youth and for many years," Dr. Blaylock tells Newsmax Health. "Cocaine triggers excitotoxicity in the area of the brain pathological for Parkinson's disease (PD)."
Its always nice how they they don't link the study. Included is the actual study about development later in life from those whose mother used cocaine while pregnant. NewMaxx are idiots.
Maybe a good hint should have been using a study from a children's hospital about adult drug abuse in a patient population they don't treat.

Hmmmm................... Cocaine is a local anesthetic that prevents re-uptake of catecholamines (norepi and dopamine) as well as seratonin. Parkinsons is a disease of degeneration and cell death of the substantia nigra, which produces dopamine. Therefore, one would expect a decline in the symptoms of Parkinson's with cocaine (although one would never advocate that).
Oddly, there is a REDUCED incidence of Parkinson's with cigarette smoking. This is a notable fact that has been shown in several studies. Obviously, the cardiovascular and pulmonary consequences of smoking far outweigh the reduced incidence of Parkinson's.
I don't know if Cocaine contributed to his onset of Parkinson's, but I believe there have been studies that link anti-depressants with an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Was Williams using anti-depressants, and did they cause his Parkinson's? Anti-depressants are also linked to suicidal thoughts, so the better question would be, did anti-depressants lead to his suicide?

This guy has pretty obvious mental problems and it is sad they are using him to spew weird crap. Being a physician doesn't save people from the affects of age. It is also sad that people listen to him for health advice. He should be in treatment instead of being a mouthpiece for NewsMax's crazy BS.
It isn't the cocaine per se it is what people cut into the cocaine a thing called stepping on it and it sure ain't baby laxatives...
