This was something that was printed in 2004.  There is one man on this
group that had some brain surgery and cannot talk because the surgery
affected the speach part of his brain.

Thanks, Lara, for posting that. There have since been several more such
surgeries done; only on people with the most extreme symptoms, often
life-threatening in terms of neck injury from ticcing, etc. It remains a
very controversial procedure.

Yet more unsubstantiated assertions and "spin".

Hello,

I attended a speach by the doctor who came up with DBS surgery. After
asking a few questions of him i determined that this surgery is
extremely dangerous and have far more risks them benefits. This should
only be concidered by those with the worse cases and after all else has
failed. If you would like more info on what was said please contact me
