It is known to be one of the most poisonous biological substances and is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Clostridium Botulinum a rod-shaped organism is known to grow best in low oxygen conditions. This bacteria form spores allowing them to stay dormant until it encounters a condition that cannot support its growth. Clostridium Botulinum produces eight antigenically distinguishable exotoxins (A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F, and G). All variations of this microorganism interfere

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological degenerative disorder that affects movement. It was discovered and analyze by James Parkinson in 1817. This disease is a progressive disease; it gets worse with the passing of the years. The disease itself is not deadly, but it has serious side effects. The CDC rated these complications as the 14th cause of deaths in the U.S. The average age of diagnostic of PD is 62. Any person diagnosed before 50 is considered to have Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease
Cold water can cause vasoconstriction which will help stop the blood from running into an area of acute injury.1 A systematic review by Waller , Lambeck , and Daly, composed of thirty-seven aquatic therapy studies with one thousand and seven participants, and picked seven of those studies and used McGill Pain Questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index, the number of work days lost from low back pain, and subjective assessment scale for pain to measure the outcomes. The SIGN 50 and PEDro scale assessment
prescribed to treat schizophrenia symptoms. While the older or typical antipsychotics were effective in treating symptoms, such as paranoia or hallucinations, they carried neurological side-effects or extrapyramidal effects, such as tardive dyskinesia, dystonia and Parkinson-like symptoms. Here are some typical antipsychotics: • Thioridazine (Mellaril®) • Haloperidol (Haldol®) • Trifluoperazine (Stelazine®) • Molondine (Moban®) • Trifluoperazine (Stelazine®) • Perphenazine (Trilafon®) • Chlorpromazine
