Resveratrol May Help Parkinson's Disease Patients

The Michael J. Fox Foundation has raised over $142 million to help research the cure to Parkinson's Disease. Part of that funding has made its way to Dr. Benjamine Wolozin at the Boston University School of Medicine.

Dr. Wolozin has reported that recent progresses in the search for the cure have been tremendous. One of the potential treatments is Resveratrol.

Wolozin has been studying tiny round-worms that have the same protein that causes's Parkinson's Disease in people. The worms can get just as sick as Parkinson's patients, but if given resveratrol, they're protected from the illness and do not get sick.

Dr. Wolozin reports that testing resveratrol on humans could begin soon.
