Hi all,
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to those of you
that replied to my repost with the subject of "Six of one ... PD
content ... retry" both on- and off-list.
And, Ron, I will download that PDF file when I get home from
teaching this weekend.
On Tue, 2 May 2000, the digest contained:

Hmmm ... I guess there's another reason to download Ron's PDF
file. I didn't know that there was a suggested minimum daily
dose of Carbidopa.
I guess that I should infer that, as everybody's physiology is
different, some get by with a lower dose of Carbidopa to get the
Levodopa through to the brain; while I *require* the minimum sug-
gested dose to accomplish the same action. Hmmm ...
So much to learn. Thanks again to all who responded. And,
janet, you still grok! Take care all ...
