--------------------- Forwarded message: Subj: Parkinson's Research-Response to Dudley Date: 94-10-10 12:07:01 EDT From: WGrousbeck To: [log in to unmask] CC: [log in to unmask] Dear Dudley (and list members), I am a prof med researcher working with patients and MDs at Stanford and just finished a rather detailed survey of Parkinson's therapies for a client. It focused on combating the wearing-off of l-dopa and on surgical (transplant) approaches. Attached to it are the 1993 and 1994 full-text med journ articles I found most relevant. I got into the research biz due to having a child born very seriously ill two yrs ago. I was and still am a biotech exec, (now running a company trying to cure my child's disease) but now I have a passion (spare-time) for educating/empowering patients, and searching out the latest trtmts worldwide. I mostly focus on cancer, but happened to do this PD work last week. Any way, my next step is to begin phoning the top few transplant centers directly to find out precisely where they stand now, since my friend/client wants to be enrolled in a study. If you folks want to ask me any questions re what I found out, please advise. I'd be glad to talk with you about anything I learned, or could send along the complete report (but for the report I'd charge $75 or so-I am still way below break-even, don't pay until you receive the report, etc.). Anyway, glad to take calls or email just to talk. -Wyc Grousbeck 415-851-5900; or [log in to unmask], or 74671,2404@ compuserve.com.
