At last I feel I can contribute to this list which has been so helpful to me. The clinics in Rotterdam/Zurich have received a lot of press in the UK and also reports on television but as far as I know concerning Multiple Sclerosis. Apparently there have been some real success stories. I know personally someone with MS who had the treatment in Rotterdam last November. She is in her mid-thirties and has MS and is in a wheelchair. Prior to treatment she had lost the use of her left hand/arm. Following treatment she regained the use of her arm but there has been no improvement with walking. Nevertheless, she felt it was worth it. She is also following quite a strict diet given by the clinic and they do monitor patients quite closely. It seems any big improvements are expected fairlyquickly - within a few weeks - after treatment. Obviously any long term effects - good or bad - are as yet unkown and for this reason some doctors are against the treatment. We were considering the treatment for my husband who at 56 has had PD for 10 years but have decided to wait for the time being. Best wishes to you all, Judith ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
