Stem cell transplantation is at early stage of development you can try http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub med 22457112
There others experimental procedures fetal cell transplantation, gene therapy, retinal cell. Fetal cell use fetal cell dopamine producing then implant in the brain.They try to restore dopamine levels.Risk of Sever dyskinesia and 13% risk of stroke or hemorrhage. Gene therapy involve an injection of genes that control .dopamine production in the subthalamic nucleus.Another gene therapy is neutrophil factor gene therapy this may slow or delay the degenerative process of PD may alter the course of disease. Retinal cells are dopamine producers and have the potential to increase dopamine in the brain,still u ser investigation

My husband's neurologist doesn't seem that crazy about it. It looks promising, but it's a lot of money if the results aren't guaranteed. Something to think about, I guess.
