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 .

I agree with you..If we don't think outside the box, nobody is going to do it for us...So there's two cheap things that I know that work...DMX and mucuna..It makes me laugh when big bad corporate pharma manufactures all these expensive pd drugs, that ain't worth the power to blow them to hell..Meanwhile, there are dirt cheap over the corner drugs, that work very good

What really is a riot, is that on the bottles of cough syrup it says "Do not take this drug if you have Parkinsons Disease"..Yeah...Don't take it..It might make you feel better..

I brought up DMX at a support group meeting , and I was cut off by the facilitator, and told that we aren't supposed take that stuff, if you have pd..I've about had it with support groups, the APDA, the PDF, PAN, and all the rest..After all these years of pumping millions of dollars into research, the only people who are benefiting from all of this, are the people who are employed by these organizations, the scientists who soak up the money with their research, and romance people with their smoke, but never produce any fire..And we get ****!!..And the best they could come up with is stuff like Azeilct, that they claim it is neuro protective..What a crock!!..They said the same thing about Mirapex, when it came out, and that was a big sham..A dirty marketing ploy is all it was

It is sad that something so harmless, as long as you aren't taking any MAOI medications, goes underneath the radar, or gets critisized by people who are taking pd meds, that are far worse for your body than DMX ever thought of being

Then there's mucuna...Mucuna is what is keeping me commercial fishing part-time..I mix a little more than one third of a teaspoon in some water, before I leave the house, and I'm good to go..And what I do is very hard work, but I can still do it for 3 - 4 hours per day, two or three times per week..And that's after 11 years of pd

So I ask you all.."What's in YOUR wallet?

Some of the stuff that they claimed was laughable if it were not fueling their own propaganda. We can expect to run into them from time to time. But, enough of that for now.

I am not going to try to do a blow-by-blow approach but wil instead give "snapshot" reports. It is a start.
