I wasn’t going to wade into this morass. But, I keep hearing all the claims and counterclaims- without anyone reverting to the true data, to discern what may or may not be true. And, you know that sort of BS beckons me to clear the air. So, I broke into my queue to enter the fray.

I read the New York Times (and the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the LA Times) ever day. This past weekend, I read a posting from Dr. Courtney Jung that pushed my buttons.
Paper wins!
I just finished my Jewish holidays- and then was inundated with folks who failed to file their taxes on the 15th of April. And, what did they do for the ensuing six months?

Finally? A long-term treatment for Parkinson’s Disease?
I’ve written about Parkinson’s Disease often. (Here, here, and here– for starters.) My grandfather, Sol Kuchlik (A’H) succumbed to the disorder. It, therefore, became one of those ailments (besides kidney and respiratory disorders) that attracted my attention over the years.
