Pat.... Ya done well!! That letter gets right to the crux of the matter - the "unknown" part of this disease and points out EVERYONE'S vulnerability, including senators, presidents, commoners and kings. No one is exempt from PD! Unless, that is, a prevention or cure is found.

I just got one of those "Host unknown" messages. Sent you an answer to your e-mail but had your letters and numbers wrong. I won't try again but will tell everyone I made a mistake. Now for my original note. Thank-you for your letter. You wrote to my heart and emotions I have some problem with expressing anger but you are right, it's there and should be felt and directed toward positive action. I've enclosed my scare letter in case you didn't see it. Is this what you meant by channeling one's anger? Dear Senator So and So, What if what you are doing right now is the cause of PARKINSON'S DISEASE? What if what you ate, or inhaled, or drank, yesterday, tomorrow, today was causing you to develop Parkinson's Disease? Maybe the people you love and care for are doing something that will make them susceptible to getting Parkinson's Disease. You don't know, do you? It's because nobody knows. Parkinson's Disease is incurable and the cause is unknown. If you are in a position to help find out how to keep people from getting it or helping cure it, certainly you will take some positive action. You or the persons that mean the most to you - could be next! Patricia 59, one yr. plus
