Default michael7773 is right

Time is not on our side. If there is going to be any improvement or, dare I say it, a cure within the time frame that does us some good then it is almost certainly going to have to come from us. The whole White Rat thing is about this. Like Michael, I don't expect anyone to follow me where I go. I do, however, feel an obligation to come back and tell everyone what I saw down that particular road in hopes of giving them some benefit personally and all of us collectively.

I feel certain there is a cure already out there in the published literature waiting to be found. It's something in the way of an herb or supplement (or combination) because otherwise Big Pharma would be all over it. If only we had 1000 PWP in a coordinated effort at self-experimentation..... Hm.....????

You know, the way things are done is seldom the only way to do things and often not the best. And the most advantageous way for Big Pharma with all the money is not going to be the most advantageous way for a Parkie watching his life drip through his fingers. The latter group needs speed even more than it needs caution. It's similar to the way botanists are forced to evaluate medicinal plants in the rain forest as it is vanishing. Down and Dirty.
