It is possible that the remedy to cure PD will be found before the cause, and the remedy will lead to the cause. In the meantime we are not alone in searching for causes. The big Pharm. companies have no reason to search for anything but remedies, but any MDS, neurologist, medical scientist must be as anxious to find out what causes PD as we are. Research and speculations on causes are not lacking, a myriad of theories keeps turning up.
And every time a new theory is aired, it seems so likely, almost all of the proposed causes fit most of us. Prenatal stress, Thyroid deficiency, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, head injury, severe childhood illness, a virus, chemicals, additives, yes and yes, they all fit, they all make sense.
I think it quite possible that this unique forum, with our white rats and undercover PD detectives and operatives may discover both cause and cure. Why not?
Press on Everett and Ron and Indigo and Zucchiniflower et al, the answers may be within reach, and hopefully the remedies will be obtainable, successful and harmless.

Forever optimistic, not always completely realistic
