Clipped from newspaper last week: Dr. Gerald Burke, UCLA Medical Plaza, is working with spraying the throat with a local anesthesia so he can inject animal protein collagen into the vocal cords. The idea is to strenghten the vocal cords. The French have been working with this idea for 7 years, but they put the patient under full anesthesia which was felt did nopt work well for Parkenson's patients. Dr. Matthias Kurth is the source of that last sentence. I think of him as the liquid Sinemet man. Anyway, has anyone heard anything about this?
