You'll see numerous references to dietary considerations, especially re protein and you have, on doubt, also seen numerous strategies proposed for dealing with the problem; however, I''ve never been convinced of the severity of the problem, based on my own experience, and I've now heard several good neurologists -- including Mathias Kirth, for whom I have great respect--say that this is a problem in a relative minority of cases, most of them severe. I'm not questioning anybody''s experience and we all know our own bodies best, and they do not necessarily follow medical theories in the way they behave For example, my medicine seems to be slower after I've had a bog meal of any kind v when my stomach is empty. Protein doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm also suggesting that maybe some of us have responded to the power of suggestion in oedrhaps overplaying the role of protein;; I think that I did. And we do it because we want to wrest some control over thus damned monster That's good-but let's keep our eyes sand ears andf minds open while we do. I hoope I answered your Q; I didn/t mean to get up on my soapbox. Marty Polonsky
