Someone asked: << I have read a bit about a procedure called a pallidotomy, where a globus pallidus pathway is disrupted to reduce Ach inputs. Does anyone know anyone who has had this? Whats the general opinion about this treatment?. >> Heitman write back: You have definitely come to the right place. There is a whole wevbsite devoted to palli/ transplant surgery. Find it at: http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/hihgang/pall/ Good luck to you and your friend. You might not realize it, Bill, but your message makes all the long hours of programming and sleepless nights under stacks of paper worth it. When we eventually get to the point where the needed information is all here and available and folks can find answers to the millions of questions about PD, I'll be extremely happy. Then maybe we can get to the place where no one will ever need the information. -- Jerry Finch The Official PWP Dumpster Gang Hideout http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/ The PWP WebRing http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=parkie;list
