I spoke to an acquaintance yesterday with PD who told me that she has a friend who is a patient of Dr Kurth's at the Barrow's Institute. At her last checkup Dr.Kurth told her that within 2-3 years there would be a cure for PD through gene therapy. She did not have ant details and frankly this information sounds highly suspect to me but I just thought someone might have heard something about it. Waiting for the "Magic Mushroom" . Donna
