Mayo Clinic appears to have discovered a connection between gut and brain.

Research done by Braak suggests a Parkinson's to gut connection via the vagus nerve!

Two studies by neurological researchers at Rush University Medical Center suggest that the discovery of alpha synuclein in the colon, years before Parkinson's symptoms appeared may be used to predict which patients get Parkinson's.

I believe that this exciting new direction in research will result in Parkinson's treatment that will be quite effective!
