Thanks Wannabe, gonnamakeit and John,
Wannabe, You say Tysabri does exactly what I suggest, it alters blood-brain barrier permeability by inhibiting adhesion molecules. You mean it closes down the pores of the BBB? Do you have a reference to this please?
Very interesting that ALA and Tumeric are also of value in MS.(both close the BBB).
I have not heard of inosine, do you know what its effect is on the permeability of the BBB?

John, The PD site is on
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/fo...aysprune=&f=34

Your refs on the virus causing the sleeping sickness are interesting,
It is known that the encephalitis outbtreak in 1915 - 26 caused PD, and the virus does open up the BBB.
