George - I'm interested, but have no specialised knowledge.  But say you
did know your PD could be/was caused by clordane (or whatever) is it too
simplistic to look for possible source/s, eliminate possibilities of
contact, hope to prevent progression?  I heard a program recently that
linked a chemical - ? hexane - with noise pollution suffered by factory
workers as combined factors in increased incidence of brain
disease/tumours.  I will try to get hold of a transcript.
