	No progress has been made in the development of drugs to stop the progression of Parkinson¡¯s Disease. Here the author has presented a novel approach to stopping the disease using a dietary supplement primarily composed of Mannitol. <em>In vivo</em> animal studies have shown that Mannitol was able to break up alpha-synuclein clusters and restore functioning in transgenic drosophila and mice. The author, who has Parkinson¡¯s, used himself as a subject and was able to achieve similar results.
