pdkid,

They also have dogs that can smell PD, cancer and Covid-19 and possibly more!

ya, so wild! initially, the scientist who disregarded this woman's claims to smelling pd revisited her claims when he heard about the dogs who can sniff out cancer. apparently, this woman can sniff out other diseases too!

pdkid,

In Covid-19, apparently the dogs are more accurate that the currently available tests.

My brother met Tilo Kunath (the researcher who turned down Joy’s discovery) through cycling and I think he met Joy when she was visiting Tilo’s lab.

This was two years or so ago. It could be a great tool.

My wife can smell my Parkinson’s Disease as she has a ridiculously powerful sense of smell. This is unfortunate as I love garlic and she hates it!
