Parkinson's hope as scientists uncover yet more evidence that the crippling condition starts in the GUT and moves onto the brain

They witnessed it spread to the brain at a 'striking speed', within the space of just two months.

The experts believe the findings could apply to humans, adding to a plethora of similar studies over the past decade.

There is currently no cure and no way of stopping the progression of the disease, but hundreds of scientific trials are underway to try and change that.
