A new skin test is being used to help diagnose Parkinson's

John Shore, a resident of Bainbridge Island, WA, has been working out regularly for 45 years. After being diagnosed with Parkinson's, his workouts took on new significance. The Syn One test, which detects the alpha synuclein protein, aids in early diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's. This test is crucial as traditional diagnosis based on symptoms can be inaccurate. Research shows the test is 93% effective in identifying the protein in diagnosed patients. John continues his specialized workout routine to maintain independence and manage symptoms, motivated by the desire to live independently and drive. Early treatment is shown to improve long-term outcomes for Parkinson's patients.
