I have been following your web site for almost a year. Eleven months

ago, my mother received a diagnosis of Parkinson's from a staff

neurologist who only spent 10 minutes with her and did not review

her case, medical history, current diagnosis, treatment plan, or

drugs. She was in the hospital for congestive heart failure with

many corresponding complications and had been on bed rest for five

weeks. She also suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for over 40

years.

 

Fortunately, through the Parkinson website, research, and

discussions with several other healthcare professionals,

her Parkinson symptoms turned out to be the result of the drug

*Reglan*.

 

Within a week of being removed from Reglan last summer, 99% of the

symptomsdisappeared.

 

Unfortunately, she had a stroke in mid-February and

passed away on February 27. Hence, please remove me from your

mailing address.

 

It is my prayer that we find a better treatment and cure for

Parkinson's and that none of my family will ever suffer from this

disease.
