seeder Posted September 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Wow! Watching a 'weird events' TV show.... had no idea this woman existed. Posting here as science wants to do what she can do....sniff out Parkinsons with total accuracy,,,that even doctors cant predict Quote Meet the woman from Perth whose super sense of smell could change the way Parkinson's disease is diagnosed. Joy Milne's husband, Les, died in June, aged 65. He worked as a consultant anaesthetist before being diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 45. One in 500 people in the UK has Parkinson's - that is 127,000 across Britain. It can leave people struggling to walk, speak and sleep. There is no cure and no definitive diagnostic test. Joy noticed something had changed with her husband long before he was diagnosed - six years before. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-34583642 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted September 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2016 In the case of canines it is already well established that they can and is now being trained specifically to detect cancer ... dogs detect cancer org link Quote In Situ Foundation, a 501(c)3, has been dedicated to scientifically training dogs to detect early stage cancer in humans for over 12 years. We are the leading experts in the field of training cancer detection dogs, and were among the first to participate in published research, setting the bar for future studies on the subject. - See more at: http://dogsdetectcancer.org/who/#sthash.xLxsN0fA.dpuf ~ This lady may be the evidence of the 'spiritual' healers of days past ...

Imagine that way back when there were no perfumes or deodorants and baths weren't a daily occurrence. The scent of a disease would be much more evident and someone tuned into it would be able to much more readily diagnose a malady. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have on most occasions when I am with the Malaysian aboriginals ( I hate that word ... we refers to them as 'Asli' eg original / pure ) to have the chance to meet with their medicine men and women ... just a half hour walk around the village and its like a day at a pharmacy ... you need this leave and that root you have this problem and too much of that ... this tree bark and those flowers .. they say ... its an eye opener to say the least ~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire. Posted September 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The only thing new here is the identification of Parkinson's odor-print. Many other diseases can already be identified through their particular scent (which can emanate not just through skin but from breath, urine and blood as well). Some smells are really subtle and can only be picked up by a trained professional (and dogs in some cases). But, what I find most interesting about studies in this area, is the fact that our immune systems often react to the smells of others' illnesses and gear up for potential attack. It's like we've got this built in protective mechanism that triggers when we pick up such scents. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that may horrify some women.... but I do....I notice 'something different' about them. An earthy type smell....to me anyway, and thats regardless of how well they bathe or the perfume they wear...its just...'there'. A useless talent... perhaps Im not the only one either....seems there are many like me....heres just one for you to read Quote How do girls feel about guys being able to smell that they are having their menstrual period? I can often tell immediately when a girl is on her period. I can smell it. I understand that it is a fact of life. It is. So is smelling it. The fact that I can smell it should not mean anything is wrong. It is natural after all. I just want to know if girls are aware of this? https://www.quora.com/How-do-girls-feel-about-guys-being-able-to-smell-that-they-are-having-their-menstrual-period 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted October 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Would it be too much to get this lady to shake Hillary Clinton's hand and lay the CT that she has Parkinson's to bed (or NOT!)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tararodman Posted February 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 3 year ago at the age of 69. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when sitting, as the disease progressed i totally lost balance. Neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while as there is no history in my family. I used amantadine, Carbidopa/levodopa and physical therapy to strenghten muscles all failed. In 2016 a friend suggested Newife Herbal Clinic who have successful heral treatment for Parkinson's disease, i contacted the heral clinic via their website and purchased the Parkinson's disease herbal supplement, i used the herbs for 7 weeks and my symptoms were reveresed. Its been 6 months no sign of parkinson's disease, contact this herbal clinic via their email (*Snip*) or visit their website (*Snip*) Edited February 27, 2017 by kmt_sesh No advertising, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
