Paul, I really dont know the name of it, it was something she had ordered from Puritans Pride for her hair health (can you imagine) and she was taking a Centrum also that had manganese in it. Put the two together and the level was toxic. I dont know that this is what caused her parkonism, but she doesnt have some of the usual symptoms (the resting tremor, etc.) plus this all started shortly after she started these pills. I will never be able to prove it of course, but because she has no tremor and no one in our family has ever had anything like this, I will always suspect that something else cause it. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Chua" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 1:10 AM Subject: Re: Telegraph | News | Iron pills 'increase risk' of Parkinson's > Dear Paula: > > > Thank you for your info, what was your mother taking?
