Margorie > It's obvious that you believe Pesticides are the root of PD. Let me put it this way I just have an open mind and I believe environmental pollution can be one cause of PD. Pesticides and herbicides may be just one part of this current puzzle. > You have lots of company, I just don't happen to be in that group > with you. Don't worry I don't hold that against you, just ur immediate jump to the pump each and every time to totally rule out any such data. > In the 1800's, when Dr. Parkinson first named our curse, they didn't, > in the USA, use the number of pesticides they do today and yet they > had PD also. However, there was industrial pollution from the Industrial Revolution at that time. Perhaps we should not forget a lot of our fore fathers/mothers came to ur country and mine from Europe and may also have genetically carried the disease as they travelled to settle here. > IMOHO, if it was one thing, as simple as pesticide use, one of these > scientists would have isolated that information and found a cure by > now, after all these years. I have never professed that PD was caused by such a simple thing as pesticides( which i don't think are really that simple, anything that can selectively kill certain plants or bugs and appear to have no effect on others is far from simple), but I am willing to keep an open mind with these or any new finds in the progress to solve the PD riddle. > > You are still young enough to live to see a cure, I pray that its soon. I also hope and pray there is a cure for those with regular PD, however, in my case at this time you cannot cure something that you cannot identify. Don 51/3 PD+
