Jim Gary I am 46, suffered severe disability with Parkinsons and have seen virtually all the symptoms reversed with the Pallidotomy. I feel the Pallidotomy would be very helpful for a person in your sister's condition. Dr Iacono has operated on patients as old as 80. I would recommend she make an appointment for an evaluation with Dr Iacono. Dr Iacono's address is Faculty Medical Office, 11370 Anderson St., Suite 2100, Loma Linda, CA 92354. Phone 909- 796-4822. I am also sending you a brochure on the Pallidotomy. David and Aviva Devor Dr Iacono is presently charging around $30,000 for a bilateral Pallidotomy, which includes the hospital costs. The hospital stay is overnight. The waiting line is currently anywhere from 3-12 months depending upon how severe a person's condition is. Loma Linda is an hour from Los Angeles near San Bernardino. Sorry I can't help you with the kosher restaurants. Concerning any developments in genetic engineering I don't see that a Pallidotomy would preclude any further treatment. Don Berns
