Last summer, I spent a few days visiting a ladyfriend with a lovely swmimming pool. Now, six months laterm I ran into my new friend at a local rstuarant. She has young Parkinson's disease, and is about 46. Her name is Val. She looked so much better- speech smooth, BIG smile, radiant on the arm of her friend , new hairstyle, and most of all, NO tremors!! I asked her , "VAl, you look SO terrific--what is it??" She said that her neurologist had put her on interferons, and that has made all the difference! Well, that caught me totally by surprise! HOW do they work? Do they kill cancer cells? Could they kill virus - infect ed cells in the brain and spinal cord? Soes somebody out there understand enough to make sense of my questions? Or are they off the wall??
