No cure, and neither the exactly cause known. However, there is relationship between age and Parkinson’s diseases.

The older got more diseases than younger ones. Not surprising that Parkinson’s diseases is second place after aging relate diseases, Alzheimer's.

The second diseases after Alzheimer’s in term of total patient number and rate of diagnosed people per year.

Thus, both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's have the same biggest risk factor for diseases development that is “aging.”

The question then Why people could get Parkinson’s diseases? The answer may be:

1. People getting old. Older ages vulnerable to the diseases.

2. Aging causes neuron dies which has function to control movement.

A Little Cute Colorful Cactus in the Summer Season

Yellow and red cacti

I saw quite a great number of colorful cacti sold in the nursery stores or sections of super malls in my city.

It is called as moon cactus. Small and perfect to put on the tables such as study tables.

This is a mutant cactus, where lack of chlorophyll causes colorful of cacti such as:

- yellow

- red

- orange

- pink

Moon cacti inserted onto chlorophyll’s cacti

To survive, the moon cactus was inserted onto green cactus which has chlorophyll, usually species of Hylocereus cactus.

As we know that chlorophyll absorbs energy from light to conduct photosynthesis. In the process, a plant combines water and carbon dioxide to form sugar (glucose).

Several colorful cacti

Moon cacti come from Southern America, brought and sold in the USA market. Quite popular in the USA.

Price from US$ 3 to US$ 5 each, depend very much on color, size and age.
