- Rainbow v 1.24 - I have just started reading the board and wish to say thank you for the Jan 31 article. Much of the material was new to me. I knew of the work in Mexico & the work that went into the instrument used for the transplants but had no idea a CA hospital would go to China to do their basic work. Hope to see some opinions on board of how people would feel in taking part in CO work currently. I am a care giver and feel very fortunate that we live in Midland and only have to drive 115 miles to Lubbock TX for outstanding care in the Tarbox ( named for senator who had Parkinsons and funded the clinic) Parkinson's Institute at Lubbock General Hospital in Lubbock. Care if handled with an appointment every 3 months and each appointment takes most of an hour. Some items that surprised me on board was when I called the 800 number for inf. about food supplements a name and address of a doctor was required. No problem just surprised. I would not have thought about cutting a controlled release tablet in half. However if instructed to do so I guess I would ask first if it would still be effective and then do it. Currently at Tarbox the idea is that new medications are just around the bend. If anyone has specific questions about this facility I will try and answer them. It is nice to know you are all out there. In my opinion an hour nap after lunch is very effective and of course exercise is very important be it walking or water exercise just good to keep moving and it is also good for the care giver. nbaker1
