Default Wpc 2010

Hi All,

Swept, Welcome to the Forum and thanks for posting Bryn's wonderful message.
It was the best talk I heard at this meeting.

Lindy already wrote about how strong PwP voice was and I feel research and medical community is finally listening to us. Practically every session had scientific as well as PwP's participation. I know it is just a beginning and we have a long way to go. The best part of WPC was PwPs.

So what did I learn in terms of cure for PD? I am sorry to say NOTHING
and it was very disappointing.

A few research talks sound promising and interesting like:
the link between coffee drinking and some sort of protection from PD, cellular and cytokine based therapeutics (anti-inflammatory), T cell-based vaccines and stem cell therapeutics.
I didnot see anything that would translate into therapeutics right away.....
I will post a summary of some topics that caught my attention in a day or two.
