John Baumann, a 51-year-old Shelby County man diagnosed with it a decade ago, said he finds the research “interesting and coincidental” because his sense of smell was the first thing to go when he began developing Parkinson’s. Loss of smell is considered an early warning sign.
“Anything that could lead to a cure is wonderful news,” said the lawyer, author and inspirational speaker. “Stem cells have always scared me, since there’s so much opportunity for something to go wrong. But when it’s done in a moralistic and disease-related way, I’m all for it.”

Monday, June 25th, 2012Decide Success Book Testimonial
Monday, June 18th, 2012John,
I will be sure to keep my eyes and ears open for any opportunities for you to speak. I have blown through about half of the book. I have enjoyed it so far….you weren’t kidding when you said it was an easy read. Very smooth in the delivery of the “life lessons”. Actually feel like I am sitting in the room listening to your story. Not a big reader, but when I picked up your book and started reading, the pages were flipping like crazy.
I was serious when I mentioned the fact that I felt like I was sitting down with you as part of the discussion. I have always said the best writers are the ones who make you feel like you are living the story in real time. Just felt very comfortable. Great skill to possess…one I am sure has served you well throughout your life.

DECIDE SUCCESS rave reviews
Monday, June 11th, 2012Hi John:
I was delighted to receive your package in the mail with a copy of your “Decide Success” book in it. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and life experiences with the world—what a gift you have given others. I found many parts of the book resonate with my own experiences and beliefs. Last week I had just guest lectured for a class on Higher Ed Leadership and shared my leadership journey with them, and your book was aligned with so many of the same concepts and ideas I shared.
I assume you do presentations and other formats for sharing your journey and wisdom. Again—that is a gift.
Thanks for sharing your gift with me,
Patty
