As Dr. Jan Nolta has said (I paraphrase), "people will look back at this time in medicine and remark how barbaric the treatments were."

Cannot wait to see what the future holds!<br />Judy Roberson, HD patient advocatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000891.post-63112499724707507612013-05-30T09:30:06.005-07:002013-05-30T09:30:06.005-07:00Thank you David.
