>From what *I* understand, a person with full-blown Parkinson's who is unmedicated can hardly move at all and has great difficulty speaking intelligibly. The medication loosens all this up so the person can move and talk, but it can't restore full motor control, so the person bobs and weaves and twitches. In other words, Fox's movements were occurring because he was *on* medication, not because he was off it. He couldn't have made the commercial otherwise.
