Soccertese,
I am a scientist, still in research, manage an academic research lab and I am here/ You may not be aware of it, but we had many scientific discussions here in the past (inflammation, BBB, vit d, diabetes and PD are a few examples) long before the PD research community even thought about their connection with PD. I was attracted to this forum mainly because of scientific discussions among the participants and learned a lot about PD from this forum. There are true scientists here, they may not have MD/Ph.D tags next to their names......thats the only difference I see/

my apologies. i've got a masters in agronomy with numerous classes in biochemistry and genetics but that doesn't qualify me to have an intelligent discussion about human physiology/biochemistry that would be anything but superficial. i've seen other boards with serious discussions on those topics, imho this isn't one of them. just my opinion. i have no idea what you mean by true scientists. if you want to back that up, post a link to a "scientific" discussion here and lets objectively critique it. i'd say the "science" here is mostly cut/paste from the internet and doing the same to back up preconceived notions.
don't get me wrong, i deeply value this board and anyone's right to post here. i will express my opinions until kicked off.
