"March 1, 1996 a day I will never forget. It was the day I heard my neurologist say "Sorry doctor but you have Parkinson's."

I was 59 years old with a fabulous dental practice. I had achieved a level of success and respect through out the dental community that most men only dreamt of achieving. I had planned another ten years of practice then to gradually retire. I was looking forward to traveling the world, winters in the south filled with golf and tennis, a special time of life to enjoy with my wife but with one word Parkinson's all had changed. My future was dark and frightening, and all future planning stopped. I was competitive and aggressive in sports, I enjoyed competition, but how do you fight a disease with no known cure?

Self care had always been very important, as a family we eat according to the rules of proper nutrition. My dental office gave nutritional counseling to the patients. I exercised daily by playing squash and competing in the city squash league. I took vitamin supplements for over 30 years. How could I get Parkinson's?

My attitude changed to "Why bother MY LIFE WAS OVER." You don't need to look after yourself if all you have to look forward to is sitting in a corner of a nursing home in a wheel chair shaking yourself to death.

With movement disorder disease small simple procedures become major problems. Shoelaces, buttons, dressing, all become stumbling blocks. Walking, something that is so natural for everyone, now had become a major problem, getting worse with every passing day. My brain could not make my muscles work with the touch required for fine motor skills. This resulted in frustration that produced a deep and growing anger. I was handicapped and felt ashamed to be seen limping, I felt alone.

But all that has changed, I do have a future and I will enjoy my old age. HMS 90 ( Immunocal) is giving me back my future. I have been on HMS 90 for one month and I know there are improvements, they are subtle but they are there. First thing in the morning and just before bedtime, when all the benefit of my Parkinson's drugs has passed, I find my walking has improved. I can tie my shoelaces and do up buttons faster and my fine motor skills have improved, but the biggest improvement is in my mental attitude, I have a positive sense of well being. I love life again.

We do not know HMS 90's true potential. The body has the capability to repair tissue damage given the proper circumstances. There may be undifferentiated brain cells that can be adapted to produce dopamine or the brain may be capable of repairing cell damage if the immune system is restored to peak efficiency. By restoring the immune system the body will be able to repair itself.

If one month has produced such a positive response just imagine the healing after one year of HMS 90, now think of the benefits possible after five years."
