What has gone wrong is that no one seems to know what really causes
PD. Dopamine deficiency certainly plays a big role, but it's something else that triggers everything.
I am afraid it might be too late for us to hope for a cure.
Stem cell research is probably the most promising lead. But Bush has pushed it back 10 or 20 years. Let's hope the Europeans can take over and help us all.

However, there are things available today that have enough research behind them to warrant consideration. I propose this thread as a sticky to keep track of these so that they are not lost.

The type of treatments I am talking about carry varying amounts of risk and no one should assume anything about these. This is serious stuff and the decisions you make about them will determine the course of your life. Even choosing to ignore them will be a momentous one.

This is the place for promises not of just borrowing time with neuroprotection but of putting things to rights with neurogenesis. But that is where risk comes in. Things that trigger regrowth of nervous tissue could also trigger overgrowth and resulting tumors for example.

This is not to say that one should avoid risk - one cannot. And bluntly put, doing nothing but the treatments offered by our neuros has a clear end - and it is not pleasent. Each of us must decide for ourselves with the best information available to us. I hope this thread will provide a place to gather that information.
It truly is an individual decision

Default cycling as neuroprotection as well as symptom management

One treatment that research is showing us can have a neuroprotective effect is cycling. A recent broadcast on NBC Nightly News features Dr. Jay Alberts explaining what his research has found: How Patients Are Using Cycling to Slow Down Parkinson’s - NBC News . We don't have to wait for the FDA to approve a bicycle.
