As of 16th August PVI had received 11,217 calls (US, 6601; UK, 2097; France 1337; Canada, 754; ...).

In my view this is an exciting initiative. It's getting huge numbers of people taking part. With these numbers its benefits should go way beyond diagnosis. As I understand it, when fully developed, the technique should be able to give a Parkinson's score. This should allow very rapid clinical trials, e.g. ring in to give a baseline, take curcumin for a week, ring in an end-point call, a day later have the results.

So, if you haven't already done so, please call in.
