Probably like a lot of other rats out there, trying not to do anything stupid, but realize waiting for medical science to converge on a disease modifying therapy is a long way off.
Lots of "lotions and potions" out there. The research on ursolic acid, while sparse and preliminary, does have a few positives :
1. Effectivness NOT based on rats or mice but real human PD cells. The bad news they were in a dish not a body.
2. Already approved by FDA in higher concentrations for gall bladder /liver disease.
For me, risk vs reward looked okay.
I understand others might see this differently.
