PD Cure? Since you asked, here's my two cents worth... George, One Man's Opinion ~> When my PD symptoms started to become evident, I spent hours acquiring, downloading and reading stuff like 'REVEALED: The Root Cause of Parkinson's - And How to Reverse It"... (As a matter of fact I believe I may actually have these documents somewhere.). It took some time to begin to sort out the wheat from the chaff.. Then it struck me... I was a victim of wishful thinking. Did I really think the entire medical community, and the pharmaceutical industry, the NIH and all the universities and institutions sponsoring research, and the scientists and students doing the research worldwide would allow a cure to go along being ignored? Reality dictates that this is most unlikely. A cure will not come from witch doctors or marketers over the internet. It will come from systematic, organized and disciplined research done by credible institutions... "the establishment".. Don't get sucked in by marketers of herbs, roots, dietary additives or other exotic treatments, or "cures" that require you to travel to some mysterious foreign destination to get treatment. Sign up with the best neurologist you can find and go with a list of questions each time you visit. If you ever have doubts that everything possible is not being done for you, try a different neurologist. This mailing list will keep you up to date and will alert you to things you may want to ask about. For instance, I recently read about nicotine patches giving some relief from tremors and Dyskinesia. I asked my neurologist, who is a Professor of Neurology at the primo University Hospital in my State, about it. He advised me that his group is seeking funding for a million dollar study on the role of nicotine, caffeine, and the like, on PD... (!). With his permission I am going to experiment on myself with OTC nicotine patches to see they have any effect at all. I hope my thoughts are helpful. We all want to find a cure, almost any cure will do. Let me know how you're making out.

I came across an advertisement for a book title " REVELED: The Root Cause of Parkinson's - And How to Reverse It" by Mark Anastas. Has anybody bought the book? Is it worth buying? Is there really a cure out there that we can use today?
