Dear friends, I don't want to come off sounding like a prophet or something like that, but when I left the list two+ years ago, I was trumpeting the promise of stem cells. Now there is a great debate going on as to the ethics and moral issues behind using human embryos for research use. As an almost zealous Christian and a man with an untreatable brain disorder, I am both opposed to the use of tissue from embryos and pulling for a cure at the same time. I say that my form of P.D. is "Untreatable" because unlike typical Parkinson's, which starts in the S.N., I injured ONLY my pallidum in the CO poisoning almost 13 years ago. Thus, the atypical symptoms, and unresponsiveness to levadopa and agonists. I suppose I am just looking forward to my reward. If I stay the course that the Lord has set for me, living my life just as I am now (which, by the way, is not good), on the day of judgement He will say to me, "Well done, my good an faithful servant!" I am only 30 years old, and I pray that I will live a lot longer.
