I agree with you, Paula, that the bold type, as well as the tendency of "anonymous" to be somewhat haughtily argumentative, is really familiar. I think KB is still around, and is pushing his nutrient mixture of the raw materials for DOPA synthesis. As I recall, he is convinced that the dopamine neurons in the SNpc are not dead, but only sick in PD, and what is needed is dietary supplementation with the substrates and co-factors involved in its synthesis in the body. Don't we wish?!!!
