Netrp has done so much for Parkinson's for these years, that I believe they will find the answer before "the old boy network" which seems to focus on the same old thing. They have been more efficient with their research in one year than the NIH as been in 15 years, AND my husband has been in the trials at NIH, so I guess I have experience there too. This organization looks at new ideas and new scientists that may just figure out this disease. And don't tell me what to advocate for, I think 15 years and more of trying to get things done, qualifies me to know what I am talking about. I have been working on all of this long before you started your tirade. Do you really believe with the next president all of Parkinson's will go away. I had a congressman say to my face, show me one case where stem cells cured a patient, and I could not give him an example, but that doesn't mean it won't work. Congress is the target, the president can only recommend, congress passes the bills, and can override anything they want with enough votes. And BTW, this is all moot for me, my husband will not be alive if when a cure comes. At 68, he sits in a veteran's home, while I cry at home.
