Default symptoms + biomarkers + etiology = cure

I'm a big proponent of focusing on biomarkers and etiology. The medical establishment focused on symptoms (and not even all of the symptoms) for a hundred years and look where we are now re: cure -- not very close.

I think studies like MJFF's PPMI will bring us valuable and treatable biomarker information that will ultimately lead to etiology and cure.
