Many thanks to Lorraine R who sent me the link to this fascinating story this morning, which ties in rather nicely with our recent Parkinson's theme.
Scientists are close to establishing what causes a smell associated with sufferers of Parkinson's disease.
They hope it could lead to the first diagnostic test for the disease.
The breakthrough came after Joy Milne astonished doctors with her ability to detect the disease through smell under scientific conditions.
This had me intrigued. A lady was on the BBC news this morning saying she could smell Parkinson disease in her husband 15 year prior to diagnosis. I believe we can smell certain diseases. So interesting.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, and there IS a level of 'Science' to back the claims up. I too find this fascinating and thank you again for bringing this to the attention of the blog and its may readers.
