Former NBA forward Brian Grant revealed Monday that he has Parkinson’s disease and is starting a Web site devoted to his fight with the neurological disorder. The 37-year-old Grant told ESPN.com that he was diagnosed in January with “young onset Parkinson’s” and began having tremors in his left hand last summer. He consulted two other well-known Parkinson’s suffers, Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali, and quickly implemented several lifestyle changes.
Grant, who lives in Portland, said that a combination of traditional and nontraditional treatments — such as several doses daily of vitamins, herbs, powders and cod-liver oil — have already helped some symptoms subside.
