I to am disappointed in all these "new" drugs that really don't help all that much. When it comes down to it, sinemet is still the only drug that works for PD. All the others are just something the docs and big pharma throw at patients hoping something can work better. I think our only hope is stem cell therapy and who knows if and when that will be common. In the meantime, look for ways to tame inflammation, like curcumin and thiamin.

I recently came across a mega study claiming that there is a 3x risk of PD for people who had their appendix removed, like my wife.
