Dear Nick, Glad you are shopping around for ideas. You have been getting suggestions....I need to add one more for your consideration....the team at California Neuroscience Institute in Oxnard, CA. Dr. Ronald F. Young has a proven track record with reduced risk occurrence. In fact the whole team can follow Gene's criteria in a previous reply. If Calfornia Neuroscience Institute was in the university setting (the Institute is at St. John's Regional Medical Center), you would know about it. Instead investigate who the team members are and it could be well worth your investigation. For more information, you should call Catherine Kamau-Ali (805) 988-7599 and ask important questions. Best wishes for you and Wan, Susan Kline Outreach Coordinator & Parkinson Educator California Neuroscience -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Nick Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 1:53 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: DBS in S.
