That would be nice, but this experiment used fruit flies. Color me unconvinced.

Park Bear. You may be an expert on these matters but sarcasm is not necessary when people post things they perceive of interest. All research starts somewhere and it may just be something under our noses that is the breakthrough we all dream of and to dismiss the report in such a manner does not do you or this thread any use. I thank the person who posted it so I can make up my own mind without sarcasm thank you.

The author of these posts does us an important service by keeping track of the research and posting it here. My comment was not intended as a knock on his efforts. More like a bit of light humor on wry.

Fergle, Park’s reply is exactly how I read it. Was not a knock at all.

We've got mitochondria, just like fruit flies. Anything that might improve mine is worth a try. It may be why exercise is the only thing found that improves PD. Strenuous exercise builds mitochondria.
