In addition, the pylori can be linked to changing sub-types in PD. Well, here is more evidence that researchers should be making use of post haste, but that again goes largely ignored.

Am I way off base here? Really over the top? Am I missing some key research that negates what I have tied together? Does anyone know if PDhas systematically been analyzed officially as an auto-immune disorder based on the standard 4 point criteria? If not, then why, it has not been done at this point nearly 100 years after the first strong correlation between influenza and PD?

Thanks for indulging me in this over the top long post.
