Dear David, '....earmarks of a scam' ?????? I don't know if I am the one to whom you are referring however if I am I will be more than happy to 'respond' (although not necessarily 'rebut') your message. Jeff nor I have any financial interest in our source of NADH. We receive no commission, discount or any other incentive for any new customers they may get because of my comments on NADH. The reason (I suppose) NADH is available from 'one counter' is thanks to the FDA and it's beauacracy (sp). The way I understand it is the NADH is manufactured by Menuco and The Life Extension Foundation is a distributor. By the way, we are currently having our local pharmacist check into becoming a distributor so that would be 2 'counters' than I know of. Perhaps you should talk to your pharmacist about becoming a distributor as well. How did you arrive at your $5.00 a day dosage???? No one ever told Jeff to take 1, 2, 3 or 300 NADH a day.He started with one but found the most optimum effects were at 4 per day. Of course it's expensive and we're fortunate we are able (so far) to afford it - NO, it's not a cure but rather we feel it does buy some time until a cure is found. And the time it buys is more productive time and more rewarding and fulfilling time than without the NADH. It may very well not work for everyone or even anyone else besides Jeff - I posted our 'findings' as an FYI for others, if interested, to pursue research readings or with their doctors. To your question for an address it is as follows: 1415 NE 17th Court, Ft. Lauderdale FL 33305. Web page address is http://www.webcom.com/~lef/index.html. Now some questions for you - Have you called the 800 number? Have you searched for research papers on your own? (which I would think would be more trustworthy-independent research and all) Should I cite research to you (to) support Jeff's results? I suggest *you* look since you may find my credibility questionable. Post technical information? David, people have recently been posting concerns about things like technical posts because of the time involved in downloading/cost, etc. What has your neurologist's response been in the past to non-FDA approved treatment? How many of your friends doctor's have given their blessing to non-FDA approved methods? Do you have PD or are you caregiver? If you are a caregiver, what is your relationship to that person; friend? neighbor? son? brother?. As the caregiver to Jeff (my husband) I have seen this 45 year young man go from vibrant and with his site set on tomorrow's successes to off balance and praying for something that will allow him to enjoy his 11 and 8 yr old growing up the way any non-PDer does.. . that is, taking 'part' in their developement and not sitting at the sidelines until the 'medicine kicks in'. I suppose it is possible that a charlatan could invade our space with his/her eye on a profit. And you're wise to question and be on alert. I have said many times in my posts that we all must be our own number 1 advocate and accept all the responsibilities that go along with that. I offer Jeff's experience with NADH as an FYI. As Jeff says, 'who knows, maybe it's a placebo effect. . . .but who cares, I know I'm feeling and moving better so placebo or not. .. I'm better'. Please do us all a favor - be sure to post your independent findings for all of us to share. And if you find another distributor/source for NADH, let me know - I'm always ready for a better price :) Regards, Lisa Carper >Dear Friends, > >I would love to believe in NADH.
