Dear sir,
The eight questions asked for the survey were to try to find the cause
of TM in the idiopathic diagnosed cases. I also use this study for
presentation purposes to provoke funding for TM research. Dr. Weinreb
stated"until the cause is known,a cure cannot be found." He estimates a cure
"will be discovered for MS and TM in the next millinium." (the next millinium
starts in 2001) The survey pointed out,that all that was left to solve,was
what triggered the auto-immune disorder. The 8 responses to my questionare
conclusively pointed toward a virus and my hypothesesis of what that virus
is.I appreciate his helpfulness in answering my question and commenting on our
survey. I will never get "apples and oranges" mixed up with sour grapes.I also
do not agree with Dr. Weinreb(no association with Cleveland Clinic) about when
the cure will be found. I think it may be closer than he thinks.Don't blink
your eyes!
sincerely,
Phil
