Hello Lisa, at 18 Dec 95 you wrote the following about _Re: Parkinsons & melanin_: >Are you saying there are no African American's with PD anywhere? I >thought Muhammed Ali has PD.... or do you mean you haven't treated any >African American's with PD at Loma Linda? As one of the other repliers already said, there are African Americans with PD, but with Muhammed Ali most probably the case is different: It is known that boxers are prone to get a kind of Parkinson's (actually it is not PD in strict meaning) through repetitive head trauma, associated with other degenerative processes in the CNS. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Stephan Blaschke, [log in to unmask], Gelsenkirchen (Germany) * ---------------------------------------------------------------------
