Arnie, Dennis Turner got 4-5 years PD free, but don't know what kind of shape he is in now. After 2 DBS brain surgeries which took my voice, but stopped my tremors, I don't like brain surgery, awake or otherwise. I can't walk or use my hands very well and I'm tired of being experimented on, plus there are complications and implants have to be redone.. As far as I'm concerned there is no stunning success with adult stem cells for PWP and people who claim otherwise are lying. We are a long long way from getting any real help. My grandfather, who had never had any major surgeries in his life, hounded doctors in the 1960's to operate on him. He was very optimistic, but never walked again after brain surgery by Dr. Ryan at Santa Monica. He died after about 7 years of PD.
