I was about to post this quote from "Dateline World Jewry," September,
1997, in hopes that I could learn more about it:
"A new drug for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, developed by a
research team from Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Campus and Jerusalem's
Hebrew University is now in an advanced stage of testing at medical centers
in Israel.
"The drug is intended to become a possible alternative for those who have
been treated for a number of years for Parkinson's and who have reached a
stage at which the main drug currently administered - L-dopa - loses its
effectiveness."
Ron, you thought your clipping was obscure? The two clippings are
obviously for the same product - and, yes, I'd like to know more about it too.

Or L-Dee-pa for short?
