Brian, THANKS for your posting. I've been on L>S> for about 4 years and cannot compare the daily Quality of Life that I had before switching. Here on the list I thought I was swimming upstream and against the tide of every other PWP's neuro although there have been some who tried and never commented so Ill never really know how many succussful L>S> users there are. YESTERDAY I had a regular meeting with my neuro here in NYC and he had a visitor from the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) attending. He (from WHO) was sitting with raised eyebrows and wide eyes when I showed him my litre bottle of GREEN which was ORANGE JUICE containing 12 (blue) 10/100's. Pasted on the bottle was my daily routine starting at 0600 and ending at midnight. It showed all my meds and the times of dosage. He made specific notes of the formula and the dispensing technique. BTW I drink 60ml each hour except at the times I normally need a kickstart (120ml at first doseage) or when I need a reduction (30ml) to avoid dyskenesia's. Brian, 99% of everything Chuck and I learned about PD came from this list over the past years. Yes, we hear and know professionally what my neuro tells us but unless we ask for a simple explanation of RECEPTORS, FREE RADICALS, GLOBUS and other words he could just as well talk to himself. I know what I have and with the help of my sisters and brothers here, I know better how to talk to him and how to HELP MYSELF. This is not a sickness that "take two aspirins and come back tomorrow" will solve. This disease is absolutly individual and no medical remedy fits all. FOR MYSELF (AND IM NOT SPEAKING OR DISPENSING TO ANYONE OR ON BEHALF OF ANYONE) THIS LIST HAS BROADENED MY ABILITY TO CONTROL MY BODY IN A HEALTHY AND RISKLESS WAY. Ive learned about eating schedules, proteins, vitamins, NADH, excercise, edema, cramping, all possible surgeries, new meds, bad reacting meds, bad cold meds, and have spoken about them with a very PD knowledgeable person. COME'ON FOLKS THIS IS OUR ONLY WAY TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR BODIES THANKS TO THE 1500 OR SO PEOPLE HERE.. THIS IS THE GREATEST BODY OF PD KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD. USE IT !!!!! Joyce
