Rick, Girija, and all others who have been looking in this direction for the causes of PD, this does seem a validation, though there is no knowing where this will take things......

As someone who has other auto-immune conditions written all over me, I would like to see this discussed more, as I am largely ignorant of the science, but wholly aware of the experience. For at least some of us this could lead to treatments, and for many it could also potentially mean being able to dodge the PD 'bullet'.

Thanks for all those who keep this up there where we can see it......
