From: [log in to unmask] Hello everybody, I'm so glad to have found this forum. My 70 year-old mother has recently been diagnosed with PD. The news has devastated my father and is a source of concern for me and my four sisters. I have stumbled recently on a Swiss television program showing promising results from sheep fetal cells therapy. This treatment seems to substantially alleviate the symptoms for all PD patients except those that are very far along in their illness (i.e. bedridden and unable to move). This therapy unfortunately seems only available at Clinique LaPrairie (if I remember correctly) in Switzerland and is expensive. Has anyone on the net heard of this treatment before? It seems too good to be true. However, it would resolve my mother's ethical dilemma as she is opposed on principle to human fetal cell therapy which requires abortions to be performed.
