Bill,

A good question.

I'm 8 years in, so my working assumption is that no great theraputic advances will be made at a time or a price before it's too late for me to benefit. (I'd be much more optimistic if I were newly diagnosed.)

Therefore, my strategy is:

- to make the most of existing medications, e.g. dissolving Stalevo in vitamin C.

- to make the most of promising life-styles, e.g. exercise.

- to monitor the latest research in the hope that I can DIY it.

- to provide my data to whoever will data-mine it, e.g. 23andMe.

- to build the measurement tools required to ascertain progress.

Regarding what I can DIY the most promising candidates are in my opinion nicotine patches and curcumin. I am now doing due diligence for both of these.
