Re: on a causal theory of PD

Paul,
I often realize, albeit too late, that i should read further down the posts
beforree my predisposition tto speak vvs listen is allowed to assert itself.
I am not sure whether iam overly optimistic tthat there is another and
equally if not more promising persective   on meidcal theory or i aam
entertainend by the similaariies to Suess-like vocabbulary of the late
Pprofessor Edwin Corey's  from the Steve  Allen show i am hopeeful theree
migght emerge enlightenment of laborratory appliccation from the numercal
incantations which might be moree effectuall than thee practicce of
conventional western medicine.  They are not moving all thaat swifrly on
their own.
If the abovve ssounds supportivve of the quotient quoting guru it is by way
of despaaration, otherwise my tentt is pitched with you.
