[QUOTE=proudest_mama;580596]I haven't been active on this board for quite some time, although I do occasionally lurk. My step-mother cut out an article in the Kenosha (Wisconsin) newspaper. It reads as follows:

Researchers may have uncovered drug to slow Parkinsonn's

Using a new kind of clinical trial, researchers may have discovered the first drug that can delay the progression of Parkinson's disease, a disabling and ultimately fatal neurological disorder.

Terry,

These test results are actually pretty current, but I think some of us, at least, I regard them with a healthy dose of skepticism. The drug studied is Azilect, and this is the 2nd time they've pushed the neuroprotective angle when in fact the results are pretty unremarkable and inconsistent in some cases. I think a really good look at the whole study design, results, etc. are discussed thoroughly at the MJFF website. - Laura
