> Somehow, we are on the mailing list for a free publication "Remedy", > published by Rx Remedy Inc, 120 Post Road West, Westport CT 06880. The > March/April 1997 issue has an article entitled "The Diagnosis May Be > Alzheimer's. It May Also Be All Wrong." The subtitle is "What looks like > Alzheimer's or sometimes Parkinson's may in fact be a brain pressure > problem that simple surgery can reverse." The author is Margaret Davidson. This is why *any* newly-diagnosed case of Alzheimer's, PD, or any other dementing illness should have an imaging study (CT or MRI). There are many conditions which are amenable to surgical treatment, and the only way to find them is to look for them. Best, Bob *********************************** ROBERT A. FINK, M. D., F.A.C.S.
