1. There is no evidence that people with Parkinson's Disease lack the genes required for the formation of dopamine. Therefore, supplying the genes as a means of treating Parkinson's Disease lacks any scientific basis.

2. There are only two enzymes involved in the formation of dopamine. By claiming that there are three (none of which they name) suggests that they don't even know how dopamine is formed.

3. The formation of dopamine also requires a precusor, cofactor and coenzymes, none of which they account for.

4. They claim that it was shown to be more effective in Parkinson's Disease than L-dopa, but nobody has ever used it.
