A litttle more about chelation - actually chelation was used extensively in Analytical chemistry ( I was an analytical chenist ) - the field was called complexometric chemistry and at that time was a tremendous achievement for us - we could do some things very simply that previously were verey complicated - then some medical researchers realized its potential and it ot into medicine. I had forgotten about Wilson's disease showing symptoms similar to PD. At the time my friend had Wilson's I knew nothong about PD - Cecily had not been diagnosed. Marty showed tremors mostly of his head and his handwriting had detiorated - his condition was called to my attention by a Gov't inspector who audited some of our work ( yes, there are intelligent caring Gov't employees ) - Marty gave me a monthly report which seldom varied - when I put 6 of them alongside each other the change was obvious. I sent him to the comp.any MD who recommended someone to see. He was put in the hospital for test and observation and every imaginable specialist examine him - finally an Oriental intern resident noticed a peculiarity in Marty's retina which led to the diagnosis of Wilson's disease. The chelation treatment was started and took a long time but he recovered nicely - not 100% but well enough to return to work. The hospital covered all his expenses for the privilege of studying him - taking movies etc How's this for company loyalty to an employee the company said that he was off work so long that in order for him to come back to work he would have to be considered as a new hire and ake his chance. I BLEW UP. and was able to convince people high enough that he needed special attention and a job was found for him. I understand that the retinal abnormality is about the only symptom that gives a sure diagnosis. So PD ain't the only toughie. Pardon my rambling but the remark about symptoms resembling PD turned me on Bob Anibal
