Hello, Linda: I thought I would pass this along, perhaps your brother could find a useful contact or two to help resolve the problem of finding adequate care. If you have a browser, the internet URL for the site is: http://www.ihr.com/baorgan.html If you can't access the web, let me know and I'll e-mail you a copy of the entire offering. While I have your attention, I am happy to know that our list is providing a fertile resource for scientific data. Might we share the results, however scant? As you can see, we are a curious group of people and are eager for information that may increase our knowledge about PD. I hope that I am not being too forward in asking for info., we do not need a formal, published paper -- just the basics. Thanks for your participation on the list and looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Margaret Tuchman Bay Area Health Organizations Developed and maintained by Internet Health Resources This page contains information on San Francisco Bay Area health organizations.
