Yes I remember the UK TV programme which featured a PD sufferer, Tim Lawrence, who had been a stunt man, but was bedridden due to PD, showed how taking ecstacy removed his symptons, and he was able to do somersaults and other athletic things. The researcher was Dr Jonathan Brochie, from Mabchester University. (The University where I got my degees in chemistry)
I have corresponded several times with Dr Brochie, who has now left the university and has his own biotech company called Motac. He has now moved to Canada.
I have a video of the BBC programme, but it is in UK format
The story dates back to 2001.
