First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rick Everett and I am a
Parkie from Tennessee USA. I am also a Virtual Refugee from the apparent
meltdown of the BrainTalk support forums. If true, that is going to
leave a lot of vulnerable neuro patients hurting.
My first symptoms 1992 with diagnosis in 2000. Still functional 80% of
the time. I am convinced that the cure is already here but will come
from the Parkie community rather than Big Pharma. My own theory - this
week :-) - is that we are struggling with an inflammatory response to
endotoxins from bacteria such as H pylori.
I am, personally, on Day 7 of what I plan to be a six week program to
reduce my own HP colony in preparation for antibiotics in August. In
addition to the info currently being discussed, there are a series of
three papers published last Fall that we should all be aware of. Since
I'm not sure if posting lengthy abstracts here is cool or not, I'll
limit myself to the titles and links:
