Dear Listfolk, A couple weeks ago, Judith Richards posted news about the Spheramine clinical trials being readied at Emory Medical Center -- "Cell Implants For Parkinson's Are Ready For Human Tests". The study is being led by Dr. Ray Watts, who happens to be one of my father's doctors (well, we've seen him once). I had hope that Dad might be accepted for the study, so I found out who to contact and faxed a letter yesterday. This morning the research nurse called me back. Unfortunately for us, they are only accepting people with ideopathic Parkinson's in the initial human trials and my Dad has MSA. If anyone would like the name and fax number of the research nurse at Emory, just e-mail me and I'll pass it on. Jane Koenig Marietta, GA (daughter of Fred, 81/MSA3)
