Limbaugh: Fox just acting sick in ad

October 25, 2006

While Michael J. Fox has drawn attention for his ads, some have criticized them as exploitive.

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh claimed Fox was ''either off his medication or acting'' in the ad.

Others defend Fox's aggressive campaigning for a Parkinson's cure. Dr. John Boockvar, a neurosurgeon and assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical Center at New York's Presbyterian Hospital, called Limbaugh's claim that Fox was acting ''ludicrous.''

Boockvar said those with Parkinson's have ''on'' and ''off'' spells.

''If there is one single disease that has the highest potential for benefit from stem cell research,'' Boockvar said Tuesday, ''it's Parkinson's.''
