vest which when set at a specific voltage power stopped his PD tremors. In the vid he put it on and the PD tremors disappeared. He took it off and they returned. It was not a cure, it was a treatment. I wish I had saved the video.

I imagine the reason his invention is not getting any publicity is because of the pharma industry.
