Parkinson's pandemic is on the horizon, experts warn A Parkinson's disease pandemic is on the horizon with cases of the disease more than doubling in just 25 years.
Scientists have warned it is now the world's fastest growing neurological disorder - ahead of dementia - and shows no signs of slowing.
There are now about 6.9 million Parkinson's patients worldwide and, by 2040, the number will grow to 14.2 million as the population ages.
Neurologists are now demanding sufferers of the disease take action and protest on the streets to raise awareness in the hope of eventually finding a cure. The Daily Mail
