Any comments, with references?? > John, Frankly I've never been able to understand why all us PWP's have the same sort of life outlook until that study this week about stress compromising our BBB's. I told my neuro once "I think us parkys just fry our brains out with too much stress for too long..." He replied "You're not far off." Apart from the fact that most of us can point to at least one neuro/chemical crisis in our lives, I wonder if most of the people alive today can't also cite a neuro catastrophy, but don't have PD... I find myself in the company of some of the finest, most creative thinkers I've ever met, all of us trying to find a way out of neuro-hell. The most encouragement I've had lately was in my recent research on the BBB (which was sparked even more by the study report), I encountered a R & D company that specialized in BBB research. I'm always interested in a risky high-profit potential stock, so I looked further, to discover that this group had recently formed a private limited partnership to fund theiir latest research, and the publicly owned company only had an option to buy the outcome....meaning (I deduce) that they think they are very close to a profitable breakthrough, and want to keep the big bucks themselves. Much as I dislike it, I think human greed is a pretty reliable thing, so I take that maneuver as a real good sign. Let's hope... Kathie [log in to unmask]
