Good to hear from you Steve. I restarted my own experiment from several years ago just about four weeks back. I had not intended to go public with it for awhile, but "What the hell?" as they say. We might even fan the flames under an entirely new generation of Stealth Rodents once they begin to realize that this actually works!

And works, it do! I think that we should, as a group, chew this minor miracle up and determine its limits and identify any perils that we can find. And we must figure out how to use it and then get that info out into the ParkiSphere or whatever.

We should do this with the next creative collaboration in mind and show that a neglected rat can take his fate into his own hands if pressed. The stereotype of the weak but determined PWP taking Life by the throat can be very powerful. Heck we may start a revolution or a plot or a conspiracy or something.

OK. Enough of raging at Heaven - time to get to work. I propose that we at least consider trying to mimic how the "Gluten Files" were treated as a unit that could be swiftly deployed where wanted <Note that that is my observation and not that of the "curators" of those files and so I may be talking out of the ole' megaphone here.> My point is that we can be rats of distinction simply by keeping good records.

The importance of the DXM is not to be underestimated. It not only works, it does so on multiple levels! By this I mean that it does, indeed, put the brakes on PD (as well as a host of other disorders), it also works on the symptoms that rob us of so much of our lives. It makes me stronger, especially in my lower legs. Nothing else worked as months went by. But then DXM came to town. My legs feel stronger every day. There needs to be another option in that bag of tricks that we are handed at the neuro's office along with his diagnosis. The one that I was given extolled the wonder of the new miracle drug "Requip" and featured faux - elderly sex machines playing tennis while they rested between trysts. Or at least that is the message I received.

DXM, properly investigated and reported, can add another and even more important tool to our bag. And it has a dozen different functions that we can tap into. When we are asked for our advice for initial treatment it may be that we can direct our new litter-mates to DXM. We already have RLSmith as an example of halting PD and we have Steve for an average Joe benefitting from taking charge of the drug instead .
