Hi all - Today marks the seventh anniversary of my controversial "pig cell" implant surgery for the treatment of Parkinson's. And what an amazing seven years it has been! Though far from cured I am still doing well. Yes, I have "off" days occasionally; they are the result of not getting enough rest. Fatigue remains the number one problem. There have been many ups and downs in this particular research project. A lack of consistent results has shelved the experimental work. Some of the patients did well while others did not. The science of using cells, tissue, and organs from animals, know as xenotransplantation, is only in its infancy. Wide spread use of this technology is years away. But we have been offered a tantalizing look at its potential. Those who are interested can visit the following Website for more information. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/jimcfinn">http://www.geocities.com/jimcfinn </A> Regards - Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
