he doesn't think the only procedure that has actually "cured" pd back in the 1990's, early 2000's, fetal neuron transplants, will ever get support even though new trials have been started in europe. he does work for LCT but didn't gloss over the placebo affect might contribute to their phase1 success as it did for many other failed trials in phase1.
he commented on the bad rap l-dopa has and says it isn't harmful and it's foolish to delay taking it, talks about alpha-synclein appearing in the intestine before pd symptoms occur, exercise an essential therapy, speculated why gdnf failed - brain needs a cocktail of nerve stimulating factors which the pig cells provide and gdnf is just one factor, mentions the need for volunteers in clinical trials. mentioned vaccine trial for alpha-synclein in austria, speculated might just be like opening a garbage bag, just dumping a lot of garbage in the cell. covered a lot of topics and i imagine not everyone totally agrees with his opinions
