He laughed, jotted down a note, and said he would check with his <BR>research friends to see if any studies had ever been done.

Effect on the Sinemet was not quite so dramatic, but the <BR>effective life of the pills still was extended. <BR> <BR>Who knows? Maybe we've stumbled onto something. Or maybe the AMA and the <BR>drug companies --- along with the United Nations, the Zionist Occupational <BR>Government, the World Bank, the liberal media, the movie industry and Jane <BR>Fonda --- are involved in a conspiracy to keep this from all us Parkies. <BR> <BR>Seriously, I'm interested in the further developments with your meds.
