Billy Graham is putting on what is called a NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION BILLY GRAHAM MISSION June 25-28. Most of the events are being held at the Corell Centre, the home of the popular Ottawa Senators hockey team. At the Corel Centre yesterday he held a press conference which included the distributiion of a written statement which contains some interesting comments related to his PD condition :- "" The Parkinson's disease makes me tire more quickly, and sometimes my thinking isn't as clear as it once was. The latter has caused me to perfect the 'prgnant pause' in my sermons. His doctors at the Mayo clinic in Rochester , Minnestoa, have recentlly told him that with the right diet and plenty of rest I could preach well past my 80th bbirthday this November and into the 21st century." An encuraaging message! Also interesting to note the emphasis on diet and no mention of drugs.Would anyone have a contact at the Mayo clinic and possibly follow up on his eating regime ??
