Thanks Soccert,
A lot of solid info and a realistic update on the pig cell transplants (near the 42/43 minute mark) that have showed early promise..... Eric |

he commented on the bad rap l-dopa has and says it isn't harmful and it's foolish to delay taking it, talks about alpha-synclein appearing in the intestine before pd symptoms occur, exercise an essential therapy, speculated why gdnf failed - brain needs a cocktail of nerve stimulating factors which the pig cells provide and gdnf is just one factor, mentions the need for volunteers in clinical trials. mentioned vaccine trial for alpha-synclein in austria, speculated might just be like opening a garbage bag, just dumping a lot of garbage in the cell. covered a lot of topics and i imagine not everyone totally agrees with his opinions |

Great comprehensive info. Time and again 'placebo effect' crops up and everybody goes ' Yep, it is a problem that stalls a lot of new therapies, shrug !' But we're talking about people's health improving, albeit short term, without any actual drugs being responsible ? Should this not be something worth investigating ? From a lay man's point of view it seems to me that you must have the tools to hand to be able to have a placebo effect ie access to a source of dopamine or something to be able to facilitate any improvement which begs the questions how, what, where ? (same with paradoxical kinesia) |
