The back side of the Parkinson´s puzzle

THE BACK SIDE OF THE PARKINSON´S PUZZLE.
 

"Every day we know more and understand less."

Albert Einstein

A simple story to illustrate the future that will or will not lead to the cure of Parkinson's (observing with the eyes of a child the very complex puzzle of Parkinson's as we see it today, and with that look back to the simplest image of Nature, to what is effective):

"A boy went to the office where his father was finishing an urgent job and asked him to play with him, to answer his questions. The father was very busy and could not pay attention to him. The only thing that occurred to him was to entrust him with a task to distract him until he finished...

"Take it, son." The child received a puzzle of an image of planet Earth. The father knew that his son would take at least a few hours to finish it. To his surprise, the child came in after half an hour with the puzzle already finished.

"But how did you finish it so soon?". he asked in surprise.

The boy said to him: "It was very easy: the puzzle on the back had the figure of a man". Of course, the boy had seen a man many times, so it didn't cost him anything to do the task his father had entrusted him with."

I don't know if I've managed to convey what I meant by the story. I will give an example: we know that magnesium is capable of preventing the aggregation of spontaneous alpha-synuclein and that which is produced by iron, which prevents neurological damage by the famous toxic MPTP which produces experimental parkinsonism (magnesium is also a powerful neuroprotective) which is the anti-stress mineral, which is a laxative, which relaxes muscles, which is a chelator (like an antidote) of the neurotoxic aluminium, which is as powerful a regulator of genes as vitamin C, B12 or D, etc. So many are its properties that the question is: why investigate only in the complex face of the puzzle what we already have in the image of the back, in Nature?
