I fear they probably would Wesley.

Sorry it was an attempt at fairly black humor.

I wish people wouldn't misrepresent the truth like this, as I suspect most people with Parkinsons wouldn't take a treatment with such a side effect.

There have been several Parkinson's experiments with mice using ESCR--and every one of them resulted in brain tumors.

Let's see, tremors and twitches so bad that you can no longer eat and have to get a feeding tube put in -- "less than ideal". Give Fox the Understatement of the Year award.
