Paula - you said
"While I'm glad they are discovering new things about the illness, if it delays a treatment or leads researchers astray. . . "
How can researchers treat or cure if they don't know what they are dealing with? The problem of emerging "sub groups" in PD is huge for clinical trials - it may be why trials fail if the trial population is diluted with people who don't even have the same disease.
How can they not explore these new avenues? The hard truth is that it may be too late for us. But it's the truth.
