It seems that many of our ideopathic Pd symptoms are related to the stomach meridian, which terminates in your foot. You might consider seeing an acupuncturist. -- Steve Rack Brattleboro VT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
