Default Bbb

Much of what is written concerns : other medical disorders rather than Parkinson's Disease (such as ALS, AD, MS), solutions that would only be relevant only if the theory were correct (Curcumin, ALA, CDP choline), or claimed potential causes that either don't cause Parkinson's Disease or that can cause Parkinson's Disease symptoms by other means (Sarin, CO, stress). Some of the studies quoted claim that the BBB is defective but they provide no evidence in support of their claims.

The key staring point on which all else relies is the Leenders study, which claims that the BBB is defective in people with Parkinson's Disease. Have you read the complete study ? Do you have a copy ? Could you make it available here for analysis ? Alternatively can you provide the results for each individual patient. What were the ages of each patient in both groups ?
