Ty laglag Count your blessings.

I just finished his book. I thought it was good. Regardless of what one thinks of him, and personally, I think well of him, he has raised $1 billion almost all from the wealthier, Hollywood clientele.

One thing I've never understood. Once you have more money than you can ever spend in your lifetime or that your children or their children can ever spend in their lifetime, why not do something good with it instead of hoarding it and just trying to make more?

I haven’t read his book but does he discuss the meds he currently takes or any alternative treatments he has tried?

[MBAnderson in reply to ConnieD]

Not really. He talks about the challenges of the physical therapy he went through from a spinal operation. Apparently, the only drug he takes is Sinemet. And you know he had a thalamotomy in 1998.

Thank you Marc I had heard about his procedure in 1998. I’m sure the book was an interesting read!

Personally speaking I have just finished his book as well doesn't se eem to give much away about his meds I know he has had DBs I can't believe he just takes sinemet I must be has my upmost respect like I've said how many of us would settle for the way he is now after. 35 years and not rotting away in some nursing home not even knowing your own name I think the guy is amazing
