New findings bring hope for possible Parkinson's disease cure

Nobody wants to commit any more. Several years ago I and several others in this forum were listening to Michael J. Fox testify before the US Senate for more research funding. Many of us heard him say "A cure can be found for Parkinson's with proper funding in five more years." At least 3 "five more years" have passed.

Five years - we heard great researchers say it, too. We saw the timeline. Yet, here we are - getting closer, but nobody is saying when it will happen.

I'm thankful for promising findings like this, but don't want researchers to start their news releases with such ambiguity! "Hope" - "possible cure." I want the conviction and intensity we had back then.

Anybody with me?
