i'm sorry to hear your father is progressing but the bigger question is what are you going to do for him next to try to alleviate his pd symptoms. it seems you are desperate to try anything regardless of the cost and independent proof that it works. if an alternative treatment method worked well, in this age of the internet, we'd know it, the news would spread like wildfire. there would be hundreds of anecdotal stories on these message boards. if i went to a pd support group and said this method worked, i assume a number of advanced pd'ers would try it and it and it it worked for them it might take a year or 2 to spread throughout the pd community, there wouldn't be years and years of "mystery" surrounding this treatment where you have to buy the supplements from HINZ or whomever. best of luck.
