Hi!

My name is Mya Marsh and I subscribed to the PARKINSN list today.

I just found out last weekend that my father was diagnosed with PD, 3 months ago.  He's 53.  Now that the inital shock and anger that something like this could happen to my father has settled, I am determined to find out everything I can for my dad and myself, and to share this information.  I've been amazed with the information available on the internet.  I've pulled off about 300 pgs of reading to take home to Dad.

I have a few questions:
How quickly does PD progress?  I gather it's different for everyone, but is there some kind of an average for the majority?
How much can a proper diet & exercise routine benefit?
Has anyone found anything (food,vitamins,herbs,...) they thing helps in slowing down the process?

I'd really appreciate any information.

Thanks,
Mya
