Biofeedback is now well accepted as a means of reducing stress, blood sugar, blood pressure, and controlling incontinence. Many insurance companies will now cover biofeedback for a number of conditions. I would certainly encourage you to try biofeedback, though I'd explain that you have PD and discuss your special needs carefully. -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD Editor-in-Chief, "Spotlight on Food--nutrition news for people 60-plus" Tel: 970-493-6532 Fax: 970-493-6538 http://www.fortnet.org/~fivstar You may wish to contact: Better Business Bureau of the Mountain States, < [log in to unmask]> for further information.
