Ecstacy (MDMA) and Parkinsons disease.

A search of the National Library of Medicine -- PubMed at
     http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez
shows 22,547 hits on the general term "Parkinson's disease",
1038 hits on the term "MDMA" and just 3 on the intersection
of those two sets -- both Parkinson's and MDMA.

None of those three papers even suggested a connection
between MDMA and a reduction of parkinson symptoms.
Virtually all of the research is on the rather pervasive
neurotoxicity of MDMA.

So whatever you are thinking of hasn't hit the medical literature.
