It isn't the opinion, but the way it is expressed. One way hurts feelings and closes discussion. Another respects the other and allows silly ideas to collapse of their own weight. A good way to see to it that they do is to ignore them and allow them to drift off into cyberspace.

i stated an opinion, you may not like it but i am not censoring anyone. this person posts on this board, states that the 1 drug that gives me decent relief is bad for me, define "bad" for a pd'er, and offers up an alternative treatment that started in the 90's, no independent validation that it works at all and if it did it's been around long enough how could it not be widely adopted since it's a potentially free treatment. you are basically asking me to believe in the tooth fairy. it might exist, it might have a placebo affect for young kids but i stopped believing in her years ago after i learned to read.

I would not support censoring an opinion for a second. The sad truth is that for PD, almost all the things that we know are opinion. No one knows cause, course, nor cure. So it can be assumed that anything expressed here is opinion. And BTW, levodopa/carbidopa is a dangerous and addictive drug that should be treated with extreme caution. IMHO of course.

did you read the posts on that pd recovery message board? every hoping it will start working?

i call a spade a spade.
