Fungal disease is difficult to treat in many cases.

In addition, fungal disease in areas like the lungs and sinuses pose difficulty in getting medication to the sites where it is needed.

Is ADHD related to Parkinson's disease?
Yes, chemically. ADHD and Parkinson's are chemically related in that both show lower than normal amounts of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. Dopamine plays a role in focus, learning, attention and movement. The dopamine deficiency of ADHD & Parkinson's disease are in fact,so closely related that, these nervous system illnesses have occurred in different members of the same family.More startling is the fact that Attention deficit disorder & Parkinson's disease have even occurred in the same person! In cases such as these, Parkinson's disease is usually diagnosed(much later!) Anywhere from two to as many as five decades after a childhood diagnosis of ADHD. Dementia with Lewy- Bodies(an illness of the nervous system.) has also been linked to ADHD. http://www.lbda.org/node/222

What disease has a neurotransmitter problem?
Neurotransmitter problem can be involved in many neurological diseases. One example is Parkinson disease which is the brain's inability to produce sufficient amounts of dopamine.
Parkinson's disease results from what?
Parkinson's disease is an illness that affects nerve cells in the brain, especially dopamine-producing neurons. When dopamine levels decrease, it causes abnormal brain activity, leading to impaired movement and other symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Its causes are unknown but factors that can affect this disease are Genes: Researchers have found that some people with many family members affected by Parkinson's disease have mutations in the LRRK2 gene. The presence of these gene variations can increase a person's risk for Parkinson's disease but only slightly. Therefore, genetic testing cannot predict who will or will not develop Parkinson's disease. Environment: Being exposed to certain toxins or environmental factors, especially during a vulnerable time such as childhood, may cause the development of Parkinson's disease. However, this is considered to be a minor factor in this disease.
