Nancy,,,,,,,,,,,not sure if you have seen these two emails or not but I thought I'd cut and paste them below for you........re PD doctors in the Billings area....not sure how far you are from Billilngs but their names might come in handy for you..I used to live in Wyoming and I know the scarcity of good medical staff...........I loved the article and I think that you are right in not sending it to everyone on the list......knowledge is supposed to be power so the more you know the better you can help yourself so I never understood the backwash that comes from posting something different on the list........if it works for some people, then try it......even if it's only one in 1,000 you might be the one but they don't understand it.......oh, well.................have a great day........Joan ----- Original Message ----- From: Parkinson's Disease Foundation <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 9:06 AM Subject: Re: Request For Parkinson Specialist In Billings, Montana > The only referral we (the PDF) has for the Billings area is: > > Javier Echeverri, M.D. > 2900 North 12th Avenue > Suite 304-E > Billings, MT > (406) 289-3727 > > Dr. Echeverri has been on our referral for a number of years.
