Hi again: Just reading my mail and noted my latest post from Acurian, an interesting web site which among other things advises on clinical trials underway (and possibly to join) throughout (at least) the US. I don't know if Canadian test sites are included or if there is perhaps another service covering similar info for Canada. Murray who wrote an excellent post to you earlier stressing the need to be proactive (among other things) is the acknowledged master of the web searchers on this list and if there is a Canadian Acurian equivalent, Murray will know of it or can find it. I tend to look at the trials which are testing neuroprotective drugs - those which address the progress of the disease as opposed to addressing symptoms - and I actually joined one in Philadelphia which might be too much of a trip for you (if not, ask and I will furnish contact details). There are other lists available once you settle in to Internet use against your disease. One is for caregivers (CARE), one is for comic relief (SPARKLE), and others such as PD Recoverers suggest alternate treatments and ways of thinking about the disease. As must be obvious by now, just ask if you want to know something. Or duck when some of us (moi?) start providing you with more than you care to know. Paul H.
