Phil,
Thanks very much for putting together this info re prevalence and calling
it to our attention. I will use some of this data in future correspondence
with my representatives. And there is much food for thought here as well.
For example, I think that pharmacy customer information would be particularly
useful in publicizing PD to the general population: it's very down to earth.
Also, I did not know that the Udall bill includes provisions for a nationwide
Parkinson's disease data system and a Clearinghouse. Both provisions make
Udall bill special and separate from just increasing NIH funding.
Thanks again,
Sharon
