The money really goes to training, it goes to research, and it's a huge dollar stretcher if you're going to give money to Parkinson's disease, because the money goes so far for what we do.
Imagine a world where a furry friend could help diagnose Parkinson's Disease. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? Well, it's not. In this fascinating episode, Lisa Holt, founder of PADs for Parkinson's, shares the incredible journey of training dogs to detect Parkinson's Disease through their extraordinary sense of smell. From Poodles to Pomeranians, these canine heroes are trained to sniff out specific odor molecules linked to the disease.
It's a story that began with skepticism but has grown into a promising method for early detection. Holt discusses the highs and lows of this innovative approach, the science behind it, and the ongoing research funded by generous donors. Whether you're a dog lover or someone affected by Parkinson's, this episode offers a unique perspective on how man's best friend is becoming a crucial ally in the fight against this debilitating condition.
