"old news" and "not cured" sounds to me like grounds for misrepresentation of the facts! yikes! it just goes to show one must check one's news sources just because it's on the wwweb doesn't mean it's true! waving the word 'cure' in front of a bunch of parkies without verification strikes me as akin to waving a red flag in front of a bull! maybe citing sources and copyright information is not such a bad idea huh? janet janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype parkie 53 now / 44 dx cd / 43 onset cd / 41 dx pd / 37 onset pd TEL: 613 256 8340 SMAIL: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada EMAIL: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/
