In advance: OK, go ahead and laugh at me, I give you my permission. Some time ago I decided I was not going to have PD. For the past two weeks I have added to my regimen the application of my mother's thought process. I now tell my brain to heal itself; reactivate its shriveled cells and tell that PD: "PD-go-away." It worked for incurable things when I was young and I believed what Mom said because she was god and knew everything about health. (She was an army officer and psychiatric nurse specialist.) ( :-)) I feel better every day because I know I will have fewer problems and just MAYBE Mom was right. Who am I to doubt her years of experience and wisdom as to what the mind can overcome.

I can use my intellect and abilities now to do my part in finding a cure or treatments to improve my quality of life in the future. MJ, myself and a large portion of this list are in a very productive phase of our lives. We don't know how quickly things will deteriorate, but we know they won't get better. The time is now to make it happen!
