Interesting.

I recently ran across research that showed nicotine consumers had reduced Parkinson's symptoms and incidence.

It's good to see they're learning more about this devastating illness.

What does early intervention look like for Parkinson’s? (Besides lifestyle changes)

As far as I know the treatment for Parkinson’s is basically lifelong dopamine pills, which of course you build a tolerance to and which lose effectiveness over time, requiring ever higher doses. Meaning once you start on them, the ticking countdown of your brain’s lifespan starts as well.
