Hi Mick, Before I would let anyone do surgery on my son, I would take him
to a doctor to see if he has elements that are regarded as toxic in his
system, sometimes they mimic Parkinsons disease.
As my father was diagnosised with Parkinson's disease at 65 years of age,
after a hair analysis was done we found extremely high levels of Lead and
Cadmium, and of course this was confirmed with urine and blood testing.
Doctors are only human and they can make mistakes.
Best Wishes Linda Forrest's Mom
