This story was originally posted by Judith Richards on May 25, 1999. It mentioned the name of the man who volunteered for the experiment, as well as Dr. Levesque at Cedars-Sinai. I always wondered what the outcome was. Now I know the rest of the story. But I am surprised that no American publications ever followed it up.

I followed up on the story, as it was mainly carried in the tabloid press.  It was originally presented by the Spinal Cord Society about a year ago when they brought a couple of neurologists to Australia, and Dr. Michael Levesque, a neurosurgeon. the spinal cord people said that we Parkinson's people would be the biggest beneficiaries of the research.  I am surprised I hadn't heard anymore until now. Does anyone know of this doctor?
