Hello. My name is Kathy and I am a new user of this Parkinson's Digest. In August of 1995, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. 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 <[log in to unmask]>
