That sounds promising..Also sounds like an easy fix, if it works on humans, without any roadblocks

I wonder how long it would take to hit the market?..That always seems to be the problem, unless its some expensive new agonist that gives you the compulsion to blow your life savings at the casino

It's an existing drug for another condition. Looks like it's been in a safety trial since '09 - which makes the researchers words of strong optimism all that more interesting:

Please excuse a little self-promotion in lieu of the more important issue - a new drug to potentially stop PD in it's tracks!

Donna, can you get curt freed's phone number? he did the original fetal cell study didn't he? can you get his email? let's seee if we can get some money from one of the rich ones with pd and do the research within an org> whichever org will do it.

let's test this one ourselves. where do we start? calling little 'gorilla" - what do you think? let's do this one backwards and get the study participants first.

it's a challenge if it's legal. so let's do it.
who is in?
