Hi Everyone! I'm back with a new E-mail address so my other messages won't be smothered. I found dry Fava beans at Nature Northwest in Lake Osgego, OR. They are a health food chain of stores in Portland and Vancouver, WA region. The beans cost $4.99 per pound and are packaged by Bob's Red Mill in Milwaukee, OR who sell them in their store for $3.29 per pound. They also have a mail order department, telephone number (503) 654-3215, Fax (503) 653-1339 and Web Site www.bobsredmill.com. I have used them as an alternative to cdopa/ldopa at noon and they seem to be about as effective. Lunch is ready now, so I will post more infrmation later. Al Isberg
