Is a decreased sense of smell an indicator of early stage Parkinson’s disease? Well yes and no. While almost all sufferers lose some of their sense of smell, most of those with decreased sense of smell do not have Parkinson’s. So lots of false positives, but combined with other indicators it should be useful.

She was then able to raise funding for the project from multiple financial donors. And that's how Stop Parkinson's was born.

Today’s news was of new research is encouraging. I have thought back to the period when a friend of mine first began to suffer Parkinson’s symptoms for a clue as to what brought the disease to light. There was a change in diet some months before that eliminated red meats from the diet. At that time daily use of protein supplements were a new addition to the diet. This new revelation makes me think that these unnatural sources of protein may be part of cause of the onset. Something to think about.
