Do you have any reason to think brand of deodorant and diet are strongly correlated with Parkinson's? (Especially pre-diagnosis.)
Ideal would be to check large numbers of undiagnosed people, and then see how many of those she "alerted" on developed the disease, but given the generally-low incidence of Parkinson's I suspect this approach would be impractical. Larger sample sizes than 12 would always be nice, of course.
