Has anyone heard anything about this treatment or when it will be generally available?

Assuming that it's not prohibitively expensive.

Hi Jim,
There was a news item on the website about this last year: http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/default.aspx?page=11849

It looks like it might be a while before it is generally available but it is worth checking back on the Research section of the website for the latest research news: http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/research.aspx

Hi again Jim,

I just learned that our director of research will be on Sky News today discussing this research.

Liz has posted information about this here: http://bit.ly/I5E3Ww

I hope this helps!
