I would like to introduce myself to the members of the network: My name is Albert Montague and I reside in Baltimore , Maryland. I am a retired physician, oncological surgeon, formerly in private practice and on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins Medical School. Had P.D. for five years and currently am taking the following medications Sinemet Cr 50-200 twice a day Eldepryl 5mg daily Permax 1mg twice a day Vitamins: C 1000 mg twice a day E 400 mg twice a day. Aspirin 81 mg daily I have no familial history of this disease and my identical twin died of unrelated causes. I have lived in the country prior to the pesticides, but was exposed to anaesthetic gases in the operating rooms for many years. Prior to diagnosis of P.D. took only aspirin, I do not smoke and consume alcohol in minimal amounts. I am interested in the surgical aspects of treatment of this disease as well as nutritional influences on its course. Albert [log in to unmask]
