Dear Jenny-- congratulations on the progress you have made with your father's obstinate denial--of course he was terrified that a doc would tell him he had Huntington's!--your persistence and creativity in working around and through his resistance are a wonderful example of the "Never give up" philosophy of our friend Sonia! More power to you! >Hi! >Remember me, I was trying to get my Dad to the dr., failed miserable but I >did finally get ahold of some Mucuna Pruriens and a research study on it. I >gave some to my Dad last night. It was amazing. In 1/2 an hour he was able >to start talking to us and quit drooling. The effect lasted 4 hours. Since >then, he has tried 3 doses. He just called me a few minutes ago and >admitted he must have Parkinson's, as this is the only disease that would >respond to this Dopamine stuff, as you all know. He is so relieved it isn't >Huntington's or anything else and is now ready to go for official treatment >and try to manage it properly. > >Thanks for all the advice and help, and thank God for this little bean plant >from India.
