Hi Bruce. Where in NJ are you? RE: Co-enzymeQ-10, I read a similar article recently and mentioned it to my husband, who has been taking it for a number of years. Since he was recently dx'd w/ PD, he was rather dubious about the need for a study -- according to him, it didn't prevent anything. (But who knows? he seems to have a relatively mild case for the moment.) Did the article say where exactly the study is being done and who the contact is?
