More trials like this one using natural supplements need to be done. If they get good results, I am sure the main stream medical establishment will throw plenty of rocks at this study, mainly because of the small sample size. Why can't the Fox Foundation fund a sudy like this?

the NIH funded a phase1 safety profile nasal glutathione study which has been completed but no paper yet

a clinical trial of IV glutathione assisted by david perlmutter showed no significant benefit for pd symptoms.

good luck with NAC, there have been many studies on non-pd'ers with large doses, if i remember correctly some potential side affects.
talk is cheap, email the FOX FOUNDATION and ask them why they haven't funded a trial.
