Sorry folks, I'm still receiving these (I've tried 3 times to discontinue my association) but since I'm still here, and am the subject of discussion; I hope you're wrong in that conclusion...like I said, for 5 years I'd been trying various supplements, but it wasn't until shortly after I started on Vita-Stim that the symptoms began to wane and/or go away. I'll repeat, I had started having resting tremor in my left thumb, was beginning to shuffle, lost probably close to 50% of my strength, with increasing muscle stiffness and pain, was on anti-depressants. As of right now, we have discontinued other supplements, have reduced carbidopa-levodopa intake 45% and no longer take the anti-depressant. The tremor is gone, I'm back to my exercise regimen, I don't shuffle, and I feel good. dave -----Original Message----- From: A Phillips Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 6:22 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Vita-Stim - what it is I suspect David was a bit run-down, the vitamins perked him up, which gave him the belief he was recovering (who doesn't want to believe that ?) and faith did the the rest. > Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 20:10:34 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Vita-Stim - what it is > To: [log in to unmask] > > Trauti > > How true.
