i hate to nag so early in the morning, but one of the most influential inventors in the history of mankind has admitted his Parkinson's and is talking our language in Newsweek. He is calling for a cultural revolution in research. This board is the best. Can you please be a little better at revolution and post anonymously if you choose?

Pretend you are a transformer, [autobots of course, not decepticons]looking for the ALLSPARK. They did what they had to to help mankind.

Comment: hello I was diagnosed in 1994 at age 31 and there was a chance of a cure, GDNF owned by Amgen but it worked too well, so they pulled a BS monkey studyout of their back pockets, their is also available Dr. Levesques adult stem cell operation - so far they have given us bad drugs such as the likes of Mirapex, with
horrid side effects -they could cure us, but palliative medicine is their bread and butter ...
if bigpharma had it their way we'd all be on drugs! yet these drugs do not cure -they are only palliative at best.
sincerely,
a young onset ****** off parkie...

my second -
Comment: hello Dear Mr. Grove,
If we were machines - I have confidence that your corporation would have fixed us all by now...
I am an advocate for cures -
I was diagnosed in 1994 at age 31,
They have two extremely good alternatives to palliative meds - since L-Dopa Carbi-dopa - are certainly not cures at all...
Amgen had GDNF -they withdrew the drugs from the patient study,
by pulling a monkey out of their (back pockets) -I do know the men were getting out of their wheel chairs -
the study was done by the Morris K. Ufdall -doctors/ scientists at the University of Kentucky.
the similiar study in Bristol England had excellent findings the GDNF protein worked!
Dr. Michael Levesque at Cedar Sinai in LA, had great success with an adult stem cell transplant,and testified before congress - but the good doctor has not been approved for clinical trials - I know you are a man with a good mind for good business,
but bigpharma only thinks good business works with addictive /palliative drugs - Mirapex was not a good drug for many PD patients, but they aren't interested in patients being cured, just the dividends of big money being added to there bank accounts.
peace to your heart,
sincerely,
christena

Andy Grove died March 21, 2016

It's sad reading about Andy Grove's death.

But it's good to hear from you. I miss hearing your perspective on things.

John

We in the PD community owe a great deal to Andy. Many at MJFF and beyond know deeply how he contributed to our field. More shared here:

So you believe that Parkinson’s people are obsequious, traumatized, mentally impaired, and would do anything for a pat on the head?

Well, get in the groove with Dr. Grove
