I decided against it for several reasons, one of which was it's association with bladder cancer. Because of that risk I believe the study has to keep the use under one year.

Still, there seems to be some link with these drugs and PD. I believe you have posted on them several times. Frustrating that a lot of the early animal research took place a decade ago and we are still not close to having an answer.

Thanks,
