Where The heck's That NT-3!

[Guest guest]

I've just got to vent for a moment.

How come we haven't heard any news about where to get NT-3? Does anybody on

this list think it would do any good to lobby drug manufacturers and the

Doctors involved in the research?

I believe I've said this before (or maybe I just thought it....), but the

news releases seem to put more importance on the profits and partnerships

than they do on improving the lives of those with the disease.

Like I said, I'm just venting. I don't mean to upset anyone. I'm getting

frustrated because I joined a Master's Swim Club and I've been training 3

days a week since October. And I've been going to the gym just like I do

every winter, and I'm getting slower in the pool and my hands are starting

to tremble. (I'm 41 yrs old, male, and have only been mildly affected up to

now)

I keep hoping NT-3 will come available soon, but all I hear is they've

signed this deal or that deal with some pharmaceutical company. And they're

listed on NASDAQ, and something about their stocks or their Board of

Directors.....

The World Master's Games are coming to Edmonton, Canada in 2005 and I was

really hoping to be fitter than I've ever been in my life just in time to

compete in swimming and paddling (two sports that are my passion). Of course

if NT-3 arrived in time and was available, I just might register for every

sport!

Like I said, I'm just venting. I do like the idea of lobbying, I just don't

know how to begin. Or whether it would be productive.
