Jerry & Robert,

I do have mild hypertension. So after i heard about this at the PAN Forum in February, I contacted my neurologist (a lovely and caring person). I sent her the info and asked her if she would prescribe this for me. She said she would.

I've been taking it about 2 months now. No cure for me yet (though - i am ever hopeful). No change in my symptoms. My other meds remain the same.

This is not in clinical trial - just one parkie with mild hypertension hoping that this will work for her like it works on rats! I'm going to stick with this for a year.

I guess you could say I'm taking it off label for PD but 'as directed' for hypertension. I do not know how it would affect someone who does not have hypertension.

best,
