^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 51/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 76 sun-filled deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Friends, It is a splendid June day in Maine. I am stirred to urge that we all work closely, and more committed than ever, to become a truly nurturing Parkinson's community. In the aftermath of the passing of Camilla's husband, Peter, and of my dear friend, young-onset PD activist Lynn Phillips of Mississippi. and in light of my February and March hospitalizations, and 28-pound drop to 131 pounds , although mercifully I am back up to 155, I am again humbled, and in awe of the courage of those who care for those who live with PD. I believe that VIROLOGiCAL RESEARCH and the discovery of a Parknson's virus, disguised as a common cold, or " flu bug", may hold our elusive key to the quest for the cure for PD.
