This is a drug used for the treatment of a kind of leukaemia. There are clinical trials for it's use in Parkinson's where it seems 'promising'. Not sure how easy it is to get hold of to try - I suspect pretty difficult.

Please let us know how it goes.  I hear it takes about two months before you see any results. You need a prescription, so I assume you have a relative who is prescribing it, right?
