Jerry apparently the Fox Foundation has already been contacted re this research. I was going to suggest it be as it is hard to reinvent the wheel so to speak. maybe other foundations could be contacted by those who can still speak. I think you need to post all the info you have on this on PIEN. It is difficult to get people to write letters let alone give money unless you are a celebrity. I'll be glad to write if I have more info on ganglioside. what is it exactly?. when were Phases I and II done and what were the results? what were the reasons given by the Fox Foundation for not supporting it financially? who should request for support be directed to? PAN, NPF, etc.? -----Original Message----- From: MyFirstname Mylastname Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 5:25 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Fw: ganglioside cure for PD? Rayilyn Everything I have found to read on this subject leads me to believe that this drug therapy is the farthest thing along to achieving disease modification than anything else out there including gene therapy and stem cell research. Why there is not more excitement about it dumbfounds me. As such I called Dr Schneider to ask if we could meet to discuss funding efforts. He consented and we did. Consequently we are at the beginning stage of planning a campaign to raise money for his research efforts. Why don't we attempt some kind of national effort for those who agree and get behind this promising therapy. Sitting back complacently and doing nothing has never sat well with me. I am simply a PWP looking for a cure.
