I was diagnosed in 1993, at age 72. Since then the diagnosis has been confirmed by two other neurologists. Symptoms are gradually getting worse, mainly tremor and lack of balance. The lack of balance has forced me to give up dancing and to walk with a cane. The tremor makes it very difficult to shave (even with an electric razor), brush my teeth (with a Sonicare toothbrush), or fasten buttons. I get frustrated and angry, want to throw things against the wall! Issue 128, 2002, of PD Update has an article, "Intravenous Glutathione: Miraculous Treatment or Scam?", pp 899-901. David Perlmutter, M.D., claims successful use of IV glutathione to ameliorate (but not cure) the symptoms of PD (www.BrainRecovery.com). A double-blind clinical study of his protocol has begun at the University of Miami. Has anybody had first hand experience with IV glutathione? Did it do anything for you?
