Thank you, Michael and Anderson, even Rush for waking this issue up. It's important to keep in mind -- literally -- that stem cell research offers hope for stroke, Alzheimers, brain damage from all causes, spinal cord trauma, etc., as well as Parkinson's disease. We just need to get behind it, while guiding the research in ways that address the ethical concerns.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!! Jesus fucking Christ... He's not faking the symptoms, he's showing the symptoms. How is that bad? How can any rational person twist that into something bad?

How could you guys sleep at night saying all that shit about him?!

Michael J. Fox is probably one of the most amazing celebrities out there, and the fact that he has to live with a disease like that every second of his freaken life now is hard enought. He doesn't need fags like the rude ones down there saying all that shit.

I look at him like a rolemodel, especially after watching this video.

Love you Michael! You truly are an inspiration to all. My Grandma has Parkinsons as well, and I am deeply saddened about her condition. When he sais it affects millions of families he is right. I will keep you and my Grandma in my prayers.

I hope Michael finds a cure. Hes such an amazing and sweet person. You all should ashamed 4 talking shit about him that way. All hes tryin 2 do is find a cure and everyones makin it into this huge political scandal! Michael J. Fox is hero, just leave him alone.

[fugiboo]

No hes about to take a whiz!!!

Dude, this person taped this via their phone from tv (it looks like). I doubt they can help you meet MJF.

[Sarasdad91]

Rush Limbaugh is a PIG that should be locked away.

[RoadDawg56]

I'd like to know if MJF is still drinking those diet sodas that cause the brain damage...

[NorthAmericanAuthor]

Is there any way I can get to speak with Mr. Fox? I was diagnosed as having Idiopathic Juvenile Parkinsonism THIRTY YEARS ago at the age of 16.  I am 46 years old now and I think I might be able to help somehow.

[animallover6295]

I love Michael and everything he does and totally support him. But he doesn't move when he is sleeping because his brain sleeps to, the reason he shakes is beause his brain is trying to send signals to his body.

Hang in there Michael, I believe you can beat this Parkinsons disease. My dad died in 1981 after having Parkinsons since his late 20's. Anyone who would say this is an act didn't check into this before he made his comments. My Dad's progressed until he died. They said Parkinsons didn't kill him but I believe it did. I'll be praying for you Michael.
