I had the great honor of meeting Dr. Greg Gerhart, he went to meet
President Clinton with Congressman Lane Evans.
I went to the University of Kentucky, and was so thrilled that the rhesus
monkeys, went from bad to great, loved Dr. Gregs video -
rhesus monkeys eating lil marshmallows slow, then after the gdnf, the monkeys could not only eat them fast but with both hands,
that was in 2000 -2001 -went to the Parkinson's Gala with Jo Rosen,
and her husband -who has latter stage PD now, such a lovely man and very witty!
I was able to see and had such hope for Dr. Leveques autologus stem cells,
actually introduced Dr. Leveque and Dr. Gerhart, and then all was looking so good,
then it all crashed, doors that were open -slammed shut, and after
all our hard work we all felt the let down and a smack in the face by Amgen...
So God Bless you, for being brave, it aint easy being a patient
and a drug trial like this -seems it would have similiar anti -apoptosis
effects...


take care dear carolyn!
you I will add to my heart prayers as are everyone I know with PD, MS, Cancer, some illnesses without names...have peace overflowing in your spirit.
