Please ignore the subject heading as my topic does not match, sometimes it is easier to reply rather than send the message the other way. A few weeks ago there was some discussion about the use of licorice in improving people's blood pressure, I managed to find single and double salty licorice in a local store. It is definitely saltier than regular licorice and is helping my mother. She eats a piece after her breakfast. Right now she is trying the single salty licorice. Two of my aunts have OPCA (olivio ponto cerebellar atrophy), does anyone have any basic articles about this diseaase. She is now receiving home care but the nurses are not familiar with it at all. Is anyone doing research on this disease. Thanks, Judith Kulig School of Nursing University of Lethbridge [log in to unmask]
