"...then what we have is a compound that just isn't currently available to Parkinson's patients but that we think has a lot of promise," said Bishop" Isn't that what all the new prospective treatments say. Don't want to release final results too soon and stop the money donation flow.

It is an Agonist that works in mice. From Mice to men most probably decades if ever.

Since they compared it to one, probably is, but they don't really say.

You will notice the word, "may" is used and not, "will". Why would that be?

I wonder if we will ever hear any more about this drig?

They don't say anything about mode of action except is anti-oxidant. No medical journal reference either.

I really hope this is something that we can all use very soon and is not a false hope.
