There is a way to help people with Parkinson. I ask everyone who watches this video to also check out the website liquid-deprenyl . com. The FDA is helping drug companies at patient experience!!!

I have Young Onset Parkinson's too and it makes life so difficult. It can change from hour to hour. I am part of P.A.N and go to D.C. everyear to Capitol Hill to ask for money to help find a cure. Being younger, Parkinson's affects us differently than older patients. I give you so much credit to do what you do and face each day. I am planning to go to New York in April for the Unity Walk to raise money for P.D.I raised money last year and ran a Marathon plus 6 other races. Too hard this year.

hi tom, my nane is mike,dxd about 15yr ago, if i didnt know better i would swear i was watching a vid of me.. even the crawling to the bathroom in the middle of the night. i had experemental gene therapy a little over 2 yrs ago, i think it has helped, especially with my med intake. i now take far less than before, with about the same results.
