old news, ROBOCOP field tested it to great success. my mantra is "you can't hack stem cells and your're in and out in a day with no need for adjustments. i gotta take this research more seriously, but if i was put into suspended animation 40 years ago when sinemet first came on the market and woke up today and saw there was no "cure" and pd'ers still depended on sinemet and DBS's, i'd wonder if there was some kind of world disaster or war that destroyed our research universities. Or had some kind of tyrant taken over the world and diverted the money once used for R&D to building walls and castles? sorry, just frustrated, and bored.

Soccer,
Totally understand your frustration with PD research and success. Same gold standard as discovered fifty years ago as you said. How about measuring improvement or decline with the UPDRS, very scientific that creation. To quote Andy Grove, brilliant mind of Intel past, what a "piece of crap" that invention. Yet, even though we don't have the cure or treatment that stops progression, I see a lot of different avenues being tested and feel like something has to work in our favor within the next five years. Until then, we have to be okay with what we have that gets us through the day plus the small improvements in treatment that we are seeing from time to time. What else can we do?Wonder what the odds are in Vegas for something in five years?

thanks, i needed that!
based on past results, vegas odds for a cure can't be good. still, more research on stem cells and growth factors than ever, i haven't googled the research on fetal brain cell implants but i think new trials were starting soon in europe and some people were cured by those treatments around 20years ago and some did much worse so wasn't a slam dunk procedure that the BUSH admin probably wouldn't have supported or allowed.

I agree that there hasn't been much progress in the past 50 years. I am hopeful that the research using Nilotinib or vaccines will result in major leaps in stopping and reversing Parkinson's in 2019 and 2020!
