[QUOTE 23andMe has conceded to the FDA's request for them to NOT offer genetic testing to new consumers. In 23andMe's eyes, this is just a temporary hold on offering the kits, and they plan to continue to negotiate with theFDA to get clearance. ...."

“The 500,000+ customers we have today have given us more than 250 million survey data points.”

… with open access of Big Data to researchers; and personal access to your own personal DNA map… for $99

In a few short years, they have built up a specific, focused data base that puts most of BigPharma to shame. Without taxpayers money; without charity donations.

Google co-founder and neuro patient Sergey Brin, and his wife, Anne Wojcicki, have the Google Empire to back them up. They have taken bio-research online, and personalized it on one side and universalized it on the other side.

Parkinson organisations talk about getting a Parkinson patient “at the table”, so “our interests will be heard”.

In this case, it was a Parkinson patient who designed the table, created it, paid for it, launched it out to the world without getting on their knees … half a million patients signed up, taking charge of their own health care – a PD e-mailing list of half a million people who sent in $99 each and would be willing to send more if new breakthroughs look possible…

Well that’s the kind of thing you want the government to protect you from.

It might slow down research if DNA analysis is ordered up by any Tom, **** or Harry. Clinics charge $4,000 for that – what’s this thing about $99? And what pills are being sold with it?

Amgen GDNF; the deliberately induced world-wide sinemet shortage that went on for 3 years; with supplied of sinemet being shifted from one country to another in secrecy; 50% of clinical trial results kept hidden; American pharma selling Duodopa for 15 years in Europe but not in America; while getting injunctions in Europe to keep its files secret; while proclaiming itself “proud Parkinson partner”; Medtronic class 1 recall (“danger of death”) revealed three months later by the business press…

23 and me shut down after 500,000 individuals voluntarily signed up and paid for… a Parkinson creation – a revolution in medicine..

… and what will be the reaction?
Just another brick in the wall. That dog-whistle sound you don’t hear is the silence of the lambs.
Move along now. Nothing to see here.
Don’t frighten the horses.
