Thanks Murray. I assure you my intentions were honourable so I hope everyone will excuse the blunder. I'm glad there are specific treatments for Parkinson's. This is not the case however for all of the Parkinson's Plus disorders of which MSA is one. I'm curious if people here follow any of the research into the free radical theory of neurodegeneration and anti-oxidant therapies. I'm not a scientist but these theories do seem to make sense. I'm sure I have more information... from Medline... on some specific research which I could post if anyone is interested.
