Hope

Today my husband sent me an article about the possible use of a blood pressure medication to arrest the progress of Parkinson's Disease. This would be the most amazing thing. The internet is really amazing in the ease with which a person can access information that might be helpful. John has several friends who must have RSS feeds or some other method for keeping up with things about Parkinson's Disease and they periodically send updates about new medicines and things that are being tried that might lead to a cure. I just wonder if we used the internet better for scientists AND the common man/woman if we couldn't find cures faster. People notice things that a doctor or scientist might not normally notice - clues that might lead them down the right path. If there were some sort of Wiki where people could share thoughts and ideas or things that they've noticed. Who knows what it could lead to. I think this idea has promise but I am not really sure how to get it started. If you have any ideas. Please share. In the meantime, I am excited by this new drug prospect. I know that a cure will be found in time to help my husband. I know it.
