- Like most neurological diseases, LBD grows in the body for years before a person has diagnosible symptoms.
- By this time, the disease is too far along to cure or stop. It's like cancer that has become inoperable. Don't believe the claims that this miracle herb or that miracle drug has cured LBD, Parkinson's or any other neurological disease.
- Hopefully, researchers will have figured out something that works in the next decade or so.
- When they do, it will likely be something that stops the disorder either before it happens, or very early on, before it has expanded too much to stop.
