This is actually a message to all those who expressed an interest in the
Anita Freeman interview.  I had so many requests I thought it would be
simpler to just send it e-mail, especially since some did not include
snail-mail addresses.  As to its authenticity, I can't attest to that.
They say when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.  But
they don't know everything, do they??

Interview with Steven Wm. Fowkes:  "An Improved Parkinson's Therapy"

Intro:  For years, we have been discussing the use of deprenyl in the
treatment of Parkinson's disease and the use of antioxidants for the
treatment of free-radical pathologies and aging.  Now, Anetta Freeman, 1
58 year old housewife from Beverly Hills, California has put the two
together with phenomenal results.  In 1992 whe was almost completely
disabled by Parkinson's disease; today she is largely recovered.

Interview questions are in caps; responses in regular type.

WILL YOU DESCRIBE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF YOUR DIAGNOSIS?

I was formally diagnosed in late '87 but I knew I had PD some time before
that.  I took care of my husband's aunt, who had it, so I recognized the
symptoms.

WHAT WERE THE ISSUES WITH YOUR DOCTORS NOT RECOGNIZING IT?

I was having subtle symptoms at the time, such as weakness in my voice.
It would become scratchy and hoarse.  I would get breathless and my voice
would get weaker.  MY husband had throat cancer in 1979 and I  lost my
voice.  My doctor said it was psychosomatic, but I knew it wasn't.  The
stress made the PD symptoms stronger.  The voice problem persisted until
1992 when I started on the liquid deprenyl citrate.

HOW BAD DID YOUR SYMPTOMS GET?

By Oct. 1992 I was having trouble getting out of a chair.  I had no
energy.  My medicine wasn't working well.  When it finally took hold, I
got a good two hours a day in which I could function at high level.  It
just didn't last long.

WHEN YOU WERE FINALLY DIAGNOSED, WAS THAT BY JUST ONE DOCTOR OR DID YOU
SEE OTHERS?

First I saw only one doctor, because I knew without a doubt I had PD.
One evening we were at dinner with a friend who's a neurosurgeon and my
entire right side went into spasms.  He was horrified and said he would
pick me up at 7 am to see a neurologist at UCLA.

The neurologist diagnosed Parkinson's disease, but he didn't want to
medicate me because I was going along well.  My response was "of course I
want to have medication."  I wanted to be as good right now as I can and
didn't want this to happen again.  It's very embarrassing.  I found a
doctor at Cedars Sinai Medical Center who became my primary care
physician.  I strong-armed him into giving me medication.

STARTING WITH SINEMET?

Yes, I tried amantadine, Parlodel, and a number of other drugs to get the
symptoms under control.  We finally hit on Sinement and Inderal as
primary therapy untile Eldepryl became available.  I think I was one of
the first people to get it around 1990.

DID YOU GET ANY ADDED BENEFIT FROM ELDEPRY THAT YOU DIDN'T GET FROM
SINEMET AND INDERAL?

Yes, I did.  The first 5 or 6 months were fantastic, but as time went on
I got worse and worse.  The medication wasnt' working and I started to
get a lot of bad side effects.  (to be continued)
