Hi Victor,
Allow me to throw in my two cents...
I've never heard about a connection between PD and free radicals.
I've read that free radicals are being looked at as a possible cause
of aging, and I guess that could relate to PD, but perhaps you should
ask about that first of all. Is this an aging test or a pd test? (I
don't see anything in your description of the experiment that links
it to PD, so I'm not sure if you checked that.)
I also read that the medical establishment still doesn't have hard
data regarding the benefits of anti-free radical-therapy.
