There are about five or 7 ladies on this board who have are more literate in the study of PD
[1] than I am. It is obvious that they spend hours and hours going through what they can find on the web and have become excellent researchers, ones that our "society should recognize" and give them all due credit as if they had a Ph.D after their names.
[2] They are the real "grassroots"; I'm more like a big "grass-stalk", blown over by the wind at that
.
Credentials recognized by society eh?. That's always a problem, society is so blind to science that they can barely recognize the words used in its description, let alone "pick a champion". BY this , i mean that there are some pretty big named neurologists on MJF's
[3] team as heads of research, who are old and just about as foggy as I am
. Money for nothin and your patients for free
.
WE'll do what we can of course , Rev, like dextromethorphan
[4] and maybe in the future, a systematic search for other opiods with the "phenanthrenyl" structural backbone.
[5]But despite all the exuberance to step forward and be guinea pigs for the limited tools we have, we really can't do much.
[6]
And we have a group called the PD "pipeline"
[7], those who really participate in it regularly bring up useful new information right here on this blogg. And they work pretty hard, once again for little recognition for their hard work.
And public scorning of the FDA will bring the hammers of the DEA down on our heads.
[8] So Rev, it's just not that simple. Guys like me can sometimes see whats happening in the bigger picture, and I can speak the noospeak scientalk, but i'm so burned out from a life of having learning by the libraries full, often stuffed down my throat, that the best that I can do is make a good "pate de fois gras" out of PD research; something good to swallow with a glass of wine while reading this blogg, but ending up as so much waste in the morning,
