To the group, As some of you know by now, I have some concerns regarding the nutritional health of PWP. I've approached a local neurologist (Dr. Gerald McIntosh, whose work was featured in a recent NPF article) regarding my concerns and he is willing to work with me on a data-gathering study, if funding can be found. However, I've not had any luck so far in getting funding, and I wonder if any members know of possible sources I could approach. I have tried Balance Nutrition, but they say their budget is too small. It seems to me that if I could locate several organizations, each might be willing to contribute a percentage of the funds needed, sharing the financing of the study. Do any of the PD associations ever fund such studies? I would appreciate any information in this area.
