Stem cell research used cloning technique, paid women for eggs
Scientists announced Wednesday that they had created stem cells from human clones, adding DNA from adult cells to the genetic material in unfertilized eggs. Their creation marked a first in stem cell research and may point the way toward treatments for diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.

HMC adopts music as tool for treatment
Studies are finding that music can have a variety of therapeutic effects. In 1995, researchers found that listening to Mozart before an IQ test boosts scores by roughly nine points. In another research, stroke victims and patients with Parkinson’s disease exposed to 30 minutes of rhythmic stimulation daily showed significant improvements in their ability to walk. A daily dose of Mozart given to chronically ill and depressed patients made them more cheerful, stable, and sociable. It has also been shown to boost the immune function in children. Premature babies exposed to lullabies in the hospital also went home earlier.

Diet in Early Stages of PD
In the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD), no special dietary changes are typically required. You may want however to increase your intake of foods rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are those chemicals that scavenge and eat-up so-called ‘free radicals’ –- tiny molecules that circulate in your tissues and damage those tissues. Free radicals have a special affinity for cells that produce dopamine. So the greater the number of antioxidants in your system, the fewer the number of circulating free radicals. Theoretically that should reduce the rate of loss of dopamine cells over time.
