And, anyhow. it would be irresponsible to accept 'testimony' from two or three laymen that their unsupervised, uncontrolled, unsanctioned, not professionally reviewed, and not subject to any sort of medical analysis (blood testing, EKG, heart rate, urinalysis, stool sample, SPECT scan, body temperature), baseline analysis (Hohn & Yahr, cognitive skills, SPECT scan again), no rules about medication (Sinemet yes or no, Agonist similarly as well as Selegiline) or perhaps a requirement that no meds be taken. For all anyone knows, this wonder combination of things contains ground up Sinemet or Agonist and what may feel like a 'cure' may be merely symptom relief. Call me nasty and snarly, call me a cynical skeptic, call me late for dinner if you like, but please have more respect for the process than to breathlessly await the untested word of lay participants. I thought this thread had finally died the death it deserves. Woe to us as it continues to crawl in the mud. Paul H.
