Here is a medical article from http://www.thescizone.com on how some idiots helped further research: “A group of young drug addicts in California were trying to convert meperidine (Demerol) into heroin and accidentally synthesized MPTP, or methylphenyl tetrahydropyridine a new neurotoxin causing Parkinson’s disease. When they injected MPTP into themselves, in 24 hours they came down with Parkinson’s disease. When they went to a neurologist, he was surprised because most Parkinson’s patients are elderly people. It took 10 years to find out that MPTP actually causes Parkinson’s disease by damaging the mitochondria. (Sometimes described as a battery that makes energy for the body found in DNA) Damaged mitochondria do not make ATP, and when a cell does not make ATP, it cannot repair the damage it suffers. The nerves in the body continuously are bombarded by harmful substances (free radicals) that damage them. ATP has a way of repairing this damage. Fruits and vegetables, by the way, help prevent the harmful effects of free radicals. What I (the doctor interviewed) discovered is that idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, drug-induced Parkinsonism and insecticide-induced Parkinson disease all do work on the same mechanism by damaging the mitochondria and so reducing the level of ATP.” This past February in Plantation, Florida Dr. Alan Lazar gave me a stem cell injection for osteoarthritis using my own stem cells.

Dear Sor/Madam,
I am pleased to read your write up about PARINSONS DESEASE
from which a 60 year old adult in Sri Lanka is suffering for more
that a decade. This patient is now compelled to take so much of
capsuls and tablets each day and night to keep ‘still’ and be
as a normal person.
I have read many reports to state that Parkins cannot be fully
recovered. However if there is a newly discover drug or
treatment kindly update me, so I could help out this suffering patient living in Sri Lanka.
Regards
Naheer Taip

Thank you, Naheer Taip,
