Hi Mary: I am mailing the tape I took of Dr. Michael Zigmundi recently at the Pittsburgh Party for Senator Spector. Dr. Z is involved with the ongoing research in GDNF. In January of this year Dr. Lieberman was very excited about his test results with GDNF on 8 patients at his Arizona Clinic. After about 3 weeks post administering the drug two of the patients reported the recovery of their sense of smell. This was exciting news to the doctor because our sense of smell is one of the first traits lost with PD. The fact that they were now recovering their sense of smell meant that the GDNF had triggered the production of dopamine cells Once you have seen the tape please forward it on to Kanto Patella 49 Greenough Ave., Pittsburgh Pa. He is next in line to view the tape. If any one else on the list wants to review Dr. Zigmindi speech on the state of research especially on GDNF please contact Kanti Patel to forward it to you once he is thru with it.
