We all want it to be true, but way too many times we have discovered the placebo effect on new drugs.

I still love the book "Far Away Cows: A Book About Cows, Engineers and Research into Parkinson's Disease" by Dario Toncich Amazon Link

If anything we have to keep all research going as we still don't know what will work. I remember an article, about 20 years ago?, when it was discovered alpha-synuclein didn't exist in sewage as it was broken down. It was a "oh yech, you mean human waste... ". It was just an odd foot note that a researcher had noticed and was curious about. At the time there wasn't a clue that alpha-synuclein had anything to do with Parkinson's.



So when a vaccine for Parkinson's was announced in research, I wonder who dug up that thesis on the weird fact of human sewage.

Hmm, the thought of DBS doesn't bother me, but fecal implant makes me shudder!

I need to get moving. Muscles locking up today keeping me in a chair, need to sit in the sun for 30 minutes to see if my neck will unlock. Oh fun.
