In a post on another thread the characteristic odour was discussed......and I said that all neurologists should have a sniffer dog under their desk!!!
Hopefully research will come to the same conclusion as you and I Christo and train dogs to do this. We know that dogs are good with supporting Customs Officials searching for drugs, and other things, and I know that some people have dogs for other conditions to support them and keep them safe......so yes! if the 'odour' is detectable and could be part of diagnosis it should be used to inform the Doctors and probably would result in FAST diagnosis! (not to mention cost -effective!)
