In follow-up to my summary of Dr. Tatton's presentation at Tallahassee Memorial last week, I am posting these citations of his work. I recommend reading at least some of his research before clamoring for deprenyl now. I'm afraid my original posting may not have carried a strong enough disclaimer. That posting is my understanding of a topic that is way over my head and is subequently possibly riddled with misinterpretation. I am not a doctor. I can't give medical advice. Also, if you intend to sue I not only don't represent my employer, but I am also penniless, so don't bother. SO, if you want to count on reliable information, sources are listed below.
