Charleen, my brilliant former AP American, European and Art History student, is now Dr. Chu, PhD, MD, doing PD research at U of Pittsburg Ray Rayilyn Brown Director AZNPF Arizona Chapter National Parkinson Foundation [log in to unmask] From: Charleen Chu Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 11:54 AM To: rayilynlee Subject: Re: Exercise & PD Ms. Brown, I think the benefits of exercising, both physical and psychological, are well worth it. The study appears to still be quite preliminary, and it is unclear if the MPTP model will translate to sporadic PD, but if you are enjoying exercising to TV, that is great. I need to do some of that also.

This University of Pittsburg study claims great promise for exercise as PD treatment. I'm kinda hooked on it as I can watch TV and do it. What think you Dr. Chu?
