LIST, I think Val's letters point out what the benefits and the risk of counting on the Internet or even this LIST for our information about PD or any other subject. The Internet allows free dissemination of all information regardless of source. Posting on this list or a flashy web site SAYS NOTHING REGARDING THE RELIABILITY OF THE INFORMATION. It could be a SCAM for financial gain, a joke, or from well-meaning people who are convinced of something that isn't true. It also may be a breakthrough in medical science which the conservative medical profession rejects. out of bias rather than attempting to replicate the data. It is crucial for our own care that we examine and consider critically all posts and websites for validity. In this case the data presented is virtually all testimonial not controlled studies. The individual that was presented as the authority had 2 "doctorate" degrees of questionable applicability to her area of claimed expert ice (naturopathy is not in a generally recognized medical science.). I am not concerned with listmembers going off their meds and substituting bean sprouts but I think this rather extreme example is an opportunity to again plea for CRITICAL THINKING when reading claims on this list or elsewhere on the Internet. That by the way Includes my posts. I state my opinions and my experience. Hopefully I give reasonable advice but at times I could be and at times am dead wrong. ( Just ask Don. ) . My plea is to examine the reliability of the source and weigh the plausibility of any claims made. Be careful of Pseudoscientific claims and if you have any questions ask someone whose judgment that you trust.. The Internet opens all kinds of doors including those to a lot of misinformation.
