<h1>Garbage in Garbage out</H1>

Boy! Initially I tried them all. Supplements touted to slow the advancement of PD. There were testimonials of doctors, long distance runners, researchers, and on and on, testifying to the efficacy of the product being advertised. They all failed in their promises. Finally, I concluded there were no natural remedies and we were lucky to have dopamine agonists and L-Dopa to control the symptoms.

But now, I see just a little glimmer of hope in the possibility that the drug nilotinib, used in the treatment of cancer, may be able to slow down and perhaps halt the progression of the "disease". You can judge for yourself. Go to

and read all about it. It is very convincing when researchers describe the drug as a garbage disposal mechanism that apparently appears to clean up the toxic proteins that accumulate in our brains. Imagine that, a garbage man we treat with all the glory we can muster as it goes around ridding us of the pollution that has collected in the corners of our minds

There really are people out there who are discovering the complexity and magic of the human brain. Shocking, but true.
