Dopamine Gene Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease in a Nonhuman Primate Without Associated Dyskinesia

Title of 1st reference

turns out you could fix anything by manipulating genes
Same for the overall brave new world

Not as dramatic, but here’s an fyi:

“David Perlmutter, a Florida neurologist, found that intravenous glutathione
helps relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Glutathione increases sensitivity to dopamine, which is depleted in
Parkinson’s. It may also protect against neurotoxins that may be implicated
in the disease. Dr Perlmutter gave 1400 milligrams of intravenous
glutathione three times a week to his Parkinson’s patients,
whose symptoms improved while they were able to reduce the
amount of their drugs.
snip
For those who do not have access to treatment with intravenous
glutathione at their doctor’s, whey protein has been found to increase
cellular glutathione.”

Neverdem has found a great article regarding a treatment for Parkinson's Disease treatment of symptoms.

Many thanks to all the FReepers who donate their computers to the Folding@Home project, to help find cures for these diseases.

There will be new Folding cores in a couple of months that will speed up folding computing on all platforms. Please keep us in mind as you get new computers this Christmas season.

First, they gave macaque monkeys a harsh neurotoxin that caused the animals to develop bodily tremors, unstable posture and severe joint rigidity — hallmarks of advanced Parkinson's disease. The researchers then injected the monkeys' brains with three genes essential for synthesizing dopamine.

Poor Monkeys. Couldn't they try that stuff on even lower primates, like say, Joe Biden, Charlie Rang-hell, shut-my-mouth Schumer, and Nancy Poison-eelosi???

I'm sure they wouldn't be pained by it all.

I'd offer up 0bama, too, but heck, he'd just get a Nobel for it...

IIRC, I thought I asked you to put me on it when Smokin' Joe persuaded you to start it maybe a month or two ago.

Please put me on the Parkinson’s ping list.

You are both on the list!

Hiya TB - Just a note to let you all know that F@H/FR is still going, and has even picked up saome additional members: 604 as of today.

I've found a YouTube site for F@H - PandeScience's Channel that has quite a few vids explaining the back story of the Lab. Also there is another phpBB Bulletin Board up - FAH-Addict.net that has both English and French portals, that get into the upgrading and overclocking activities that some folks do to max out their systems.

Many thanks. I've been traveling too much and seldom post new articles. I really need to ask for new folders, now that it is computer upgrade season.

I shut down my F@H computers last week. The Obama economy has me worried, so I’m trying to build up my savings and cut back on expenses like electricity. I’ll have a better idea of my job situation next year, and I might be back on a smaller scale before then.

At least you are keeping your FR habit up!
