Rajesh, Sounds good lets hope it pans out to something that can help allll PD patients. Thankis for sharing. Best Regards Alex

Great! I'm glad to see so much research and so many clinical trials currently working on PD solutions.

We need to be doubly careful when reading literature put out by folks with commercial interests in the story. New-medical.net may do its level best to put out truthful information, but it is not a at the level of a refereed journal. It exists by selling ads that appear on our screens and collecting data on patterns of our interests and use... which end up as cookies on our computers.

A similar, slightly more detailed account of the news-med article can be seen on this blogsite, which exists to inform and recruit investors: http://carpedmstocks.blogspot.com/2013/01/ambs-announces-positive-data-for-manf.html

As Rajesh noted, the cited article reported the result of an animal study. Even under the best conditions and with the best experimental results, human application would be many years away from approval.

It may be useful stuff for staying informed. But we have to be prudent about attending to our own needs.

Hope is important to us having to deal with our PD. But there are times when 'hope' gets to be just another 4-letter word... when we are strung along by others working their own agendas... when we are vulnerable and clueless. It isn't that we lose hope so much as hope loses its sharpness for focusing our strengths. Then we are reduced to wishing and woolgathering.

To get a glimpse of the real work that is going on in the labs, here is another article. I would not want to pretend that I understood the discussion, but a slow read persuades me that there is some amazing work going on on our behalf. http://www.nature.com/srep/2013/130315/srep01463/full/srep01463.html

Thanks for tolerating my rant.
