Brian and I also try to meet for coffee when we can.

Anyhow, I spoke to the Parkinson's Inst in Sunnyvale about the nicotine trial and they only take people who have been diagnosed 18 months or less - so I didn't qualify. Villers has done a wonderful job of explaining the method. I've also noticed that on the MJFF clinical trial page for the nicotine trial pretty much explains the method as well. I haven't done my own experiment with nicotine yet. It's on my list, I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.

Good luck to you!
