KXAN-TV, TX 07/25/03 - 8:23 am New Drug To Treat Parkinson's Disease A small drug company in southwest Virginia has come up with a breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. "It actually creates an environment where cells can line and don't die anymore and also creates an environment where they can actually proliferate against and possibly cure the disease," Dr. Keith Latham, PH.D. with Innovative Technologies said. The new drug, Parkinol, completely blocks the tremors caused by Parkison's. That behavior is displayed in a lab rat with Parkison's who acts completely normal, compared to one that runs in circles constantly. Human testing of the drug will cost about $5 million, so reseachers are now trying to market Parkinol to larger companies.
