It is not at odds within the medical/research community. Clinical studies are often paid for by the drug companies that will benefit financially from approved drugs for symptomatic treatment. The clinicians who run the individual drug studies are usually different from those "scientists" who work solely in laboratories - discovering how the brain works and ways to correct the defects found. Both should continue to be funded until a cure is found. ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Kleinmeyer <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2000 6:24 PM Subject: Re: Help me fight PD.
