Dear Martha, You possess a loving stellar spirit. You're an inspiration to all as your outward and inner beauty radiantly shine. By the way, you're so pretty you actually look good with a shaved head. Thank You so much for sharing your courageous progress. Love to you and your husband.

I’m aware this technology is used in other movement disorders. I wonder if they’ve tried it on Huntington’s Chorea, although that genetic disorder has severe cognitive decline as well, and patients may not qualify.
