Hi I read your e-mail with interest but must disagree with one point. You said "If a cure is found the million Parkinson patients in the world are not helped by that, especially those in a later stage of the disease." This may not be true as very promising research is happening on drugs / compounds which will allow PD suffers conditions to improve from their present state.
