Delda -- Secure Horizons, as other HMO's, vary from state to state as to the benefits they offer for their SS HMO drug benefits. In Texas it's around $1,500 per year max, with generic being $5. Their 3 month supply program is good. I've used it and had very little problems. While moving might not be your idea of fun, the states around you might offer better drug programs in their SS HMOs. The amount of money being saved may well support the logic of finding another state in which to CLAIM residence. (Oops, the caps got stuck.) Different subject - While some folks may well have been cured of cancer by using unorthodox methods and might be willing to spread the word by writing a book concerning their cure, we should still question the actual cancer and the degree of "cure." One doctor in Houston has the backing of a very large group of cured patients who support his use of cancer medicine in which the main ingredient is human urine. The FDA has yet to shut him down, and if I had cancer I might be taking a serious look at his medicine. If it works, great. The bad part is if it doesn't work, it may very well cost you your life. This is NOT to say that a veggie diet change is silly. My experience is that it is just the opposite. A totally veggie diet is probably one of the best moves any of us could make. Those of us with life threatening and life changing medical problems are far too easy prey for those who intend to make gobs of money by selling us their "cure." To support some fellow in Africa to become independent off of my desires for better health is a little far reaching. All things considered, I think I'd rather grow my bean sprouts by my own methods, in the privacy of my own kitchen, and save the money for more important things, like my own independence. The internet is a dangerous place, as Dr. Meyer has already said. On the off-beat side, and during one of my more lucid periods, I jokingly claimed that the cause of PD might actually be the rock'n roll music that most of us listened to during the 50's and 60's and that, if played backwards through earphones for weeks on end, we might undo the damage that's been done. While jokingly stated, it's a better theory than most of the "cures" I've seen from those who pop-up on this list with a regular frequency of about one every two months.
