John T - thank you for your input. I would love to hear my husbands side of the story too! As I mentioned in an earlier post he does not want to join a support group because he doesnt want to see others that have PD - it upsets him to think he may look like that one day. As it is now he can move freely, usually only tremors when stressed, and doesnt display many outward signs of PD. So the reson I would like to persue something more natural is that as time progresses so will the need for more medicine. If he has quality of life now, and can do without being medicated for as long as possibel, why not do it? Also the person I mentioned that was obsessed with math - those were his words and he described the obsessions as all consuming trying to find patterns/equations in every thing
