From Sydney bySidney Dr. Kay Double, a neurochemist at Prince of Wales Medical Center, and her team of researchers announced the development of an objective test for the diagnosis of Parkinson's.They claim this simple blood test will allow diagnosis prior to symptoms. Unfortunately they expect further analysis necessary before it goes to the general public. Mr. Rod Harper, Parkinson's Victoria Chief Executive said: If the trials are successful, it could improve quality of life for PWP and a screening test would be even more helpful once some of the new drugs prove effective. This is good news for our youth. Congratulations are in order to the 40,000 Aussie PWP. I'm sure they had a hand in this development. Sid Levin (Back home in California)
