Hi southies! Brazil talks to Australia about Canada;here goes another northie!! Are ergot-derived drugs like Permax and Parlodel causing our cells to DIE and therefore, causing increased PD? Dale Severance said on the phone last night something that makes a lot of sense: "the drug companies are making profits off of us remaining sick, and they are not going to cure us." I pretty much feel the same way. So could cell-KILLING "ergot" be in the formulas of the famous P twins, Parlodel and Permax, our famous dopamine "agonists" , or what?? Jim, can you help? Or anyone? Look at the mention of "ergot" at the end of Joao's excerpt below!
