Marco, Glad to hear you are active and fighting -- it is inspirational to read!! I have a question for you and for anyone who has tried herbal or "alternative" medical approaches: Did starting with and experimenting with these types of treatments have any adverse effects given that you were already on western medications? The reason I ask is because I'd love to find out more about this for my father's sake. He turns 73 later this month and has been diagnosed for about 3 years. He takes 1.25mg Mirapex three times a day, and I wonder if starting to experiment now at his age (and with the Mirapex and other meds he is on for other conditions) could actually affect him adversely. I worry about giving his body an unnecessary "jolt". Thanks and hang in there, Michael Frederic _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
