Dear Sara: My PD friend who's been traveling recently is also interested in holistic medicine. In the past (actually, before she was diagnosed), she gave me a few very tiny, weak arsenic tablets, which she said helped a "stiffness" she had been feeling. My husband never agreed to take them. Yesterday she gave me a little bottle of "Skullcap, St. Johnswort Supreme," telling me that about 15 drops a day in water had made her feel better. I'll take it home to my husband today, but I don't believe he will take it. Comment from anyone? k. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mrs. Karin M.
