Farnesol

Berry Compound Reverses Parkinson’s in Mice-
This study was result of screening of over 230,000 compounds. Farnesol , a natural product contained in many fruits and even animals, was fed to mice with induced PD. The compound was effecitive in slowing, stopping and even reversing PD induced mice. it's used in foods and frangrances so it probably is low toxicity. One can buy this compound without prescription. Also I'm guessing it should be inexpensive. I found a couple of articles about the mice screening. Who is familiar with this and the researchers?
