The question is not where it begins, I have a friend who's father is diagnosed with Parkinson, can't really walk properly or talk and it's sad to see.

But what's the cure? and where's the cure. I remember that it's been questioned for so long like 5 years ago I heard that Parkinson might be a disease that begins from gut....yet we are still figuring out how it begins and not how it cures.

Is it not better to solve issues like these than AGI?

If we can prevent it, it won't be as important to be able to cure it.
Whats the prevention strategy?

As someone in their mid-30s with neurological and psychiatric conditions who also experiences regular constipation, I read this and felt, "ok, now what?"

Well, knowing something in the gut is causing it means they are one step closer to finding the cause. Eliminating the cause can prevent it, even if it doesn't aid in curing existing cases.
