Alan, Thank you so much for all the reading and research you to do bring your PD friends hope!
Alan1009 you are a mine of information that is not always avail able over here I asked my sister-in-law who is married to Alex's brother who has advanced PD and has a great deal of trouble walking and mananging his balance she had not heard of this either. I am so grateful to have some one like you as a friend on MPT and all my other friends we can usually find an answer to the questions we may have or a suggestion for the same THANK YOU and an armful of hugs Pam
Maye you could use white tape. instead of paint
Thank you Alan. Your are a fountain of information. Keep reading and researching. Question: Have you heard that L-Lysine should be used in conjunction with the coconut oil? I have not read this anywhere and was told by the lady at the health food store that it helped. I don't want to have my sister take anything that is not needed as she has huge allergies and keeping her medicines balanced is a very delicate thing. Appreciate your insight.
