I am 54 and in the early stages of PD. I have some information regarding alternative treatments, i.e., the linking of PD to amalgam/mercury toxicity and candida/intestinal integrity. I am a retired registered nurse and look forward to learning from others." Kathy ___ Kathy, Welcome to the List. It's great to have another RN on-line! I'm sure others on this List who are interested in alternative treatments would benefit from information you have on the subject. Would you mind sharing it with the group? Also, a description of your symptoms and what treatments you've tried would be helpful. Thanks! Kristin Delfeld
