i didn't know how to convey this message without appearing presumptuous or otherwise give the wrong impresssion, so since it's public knowledge i'm just putting it here. i don't expect any response and am sorry if it is irrelevant.

i was listening to my playlist and engrossed in a different window. i have 23andMe's 'googling the googlers' on the playlist, but due to it's length I hadn't let it play all the way thru before this.

two things are catching my attention. in their reporting humorous results of the genetic analysis of the google cofounders. it was reported that sergey was not sensitive to sweaty body odors and needed to change his bike clothes. A funny picture of him in his sweaty bike clothing follows [went back and looked at what i heard this morning].

has he shown any symptoms of losing his sense of smell or is he just not sensitive to sweat?

the second thing that caught my attention is that sergey has been complaining about being "lactose intolerant." gastrointestinal issues?

These are early pd symptoms. Don't want to scare him; he's probably way ahead of me in having these things checked out. i'm typing this only because i see a connection and there could be a very slight chance that it wasn't picked up on.

Good catches, Paula. I, too, wonder if his smelling ability has been affected. Not all people with PD have smelling issues. I've read that many people with his specific mutation don't have a problem.

I also wonder if he's thought about gluten intolerance.

I do not know much about Sergey Brin, except for the fact his Mom
has PD, and knowing that it does have a tendency to run in families-
like mine.
My great Aunt had PD, she was one of the first to receive L-dopa treatment,
so this does not happen to be a 100% finding - that he is a "shoo-in" for
this crapola illness -(PD) it just ups the mathmatical chances,

if you went to a doctor that would test the blood to see if you were
toxic or missing valuable minerals and vitamins, in your diet -
the insufficiency /not enough zinc is associated with the loss of the sense of smell, which in turn affects the sense of taste, and a depletion of good nutrtion in which the USA is tied to the food industry, and the food industry has definite ties to the Monsanto Corupt Corporation etc, have made our food poison, which trickles down directly in changing our DNA...
