Dear Mr. Elliott(PDF),MR. Slewett(NPF),
Mr. Langston (PI), Mr. Gerstel (APDA),
Mr. Fox (MJFI), the NIH, and all of your
scientific review boards:
Are there any scientists currently funded,
by your organization to look for
a viral cause of Parkinson's?
I note in particular that there is a team of
researchers in France, who have
just shown that a previously unknown
virus lodges in the spinal cords of ALS
victims. I believe the virus was identified in
motor cells.
I think in post-mortem examinations,
nearly every Lou Gehrig's DIsease
patient studied had the virus. These viral invaders may
well have been the cause of the blocked
and altered movements of ALS.
I am now in my 16th year of Young Onset
PD, at age 51. I am severely physically
disabled, and completely paralyzed without medications.
Why not explore this idea? My chances of a reasonable life, or a
cure, are running out. If a viral origin of PD is correct, an
anti-viral vaccine might be one of many steps towards
relieving PD victims of their suffering.
