It was done as a tribute to Christopher Reeves. She said in the beginning of it PD was mentioned along with spinal chord injuries as curable with the right support. Can anyone give a first hand account of that? =================================================== Dr. Fred Gage of the Salk Institute said some of the best minds are beginning to work in areas of regeneration of the central nervous system because there is the expectation, as well as the hope, that real progress will be made. Christopher Reeves said, "If you would invest in the research, you could cure Parkinsons, Alzheimers, Multiple Sclerosis and Spinal Cord Injury in the very near future, in my life or maybe in the next ten or fifteen years. If the public will demand that the politicians spend that little bit of money, make that investment, I'll be up and walking around again." Judith Richards [log in to unmask]
