What is PSP?

Progressive Supranuclear palsy is a fatal, degenerative brain disorder that has no known cause, treatment or cure.  It causes complete disability by progressively impairing all movement, balance, vision, speech and swallowing, while the mind remains clear.  Onset is usually between 50-70 years of age.  Early symptoms include falling and problems with vision.

PSP can strike anyone and equally affects men and women of all races.  It tragically robs people of optimal health and happiness in their later years.  In March 2002, famed actor and musician Dudley Moore died of PSP.
