Product Description
This guide explains the mechanisms behind Parkinson's and provides detailed information about common - and lesser-known - symptoms. It summarizes the primary means of diagnosis and covers all the conventional treatments along with their pros and cons. However, a large part of the book is devoted to alternative treatments for Parkinson's, including Dr Perlmutter's glutathione therapy - a programme designed around an over-the-counter natural supplement. Other alternative therapies are also covered. A special section of the book focuses on ways that patients can deal with symptoms such as sleep problems, freeze attacks, anxiety, depression and muscle spasms, and attention is also given to carers, friends and families of sufferers.

Best book for the average person, 2007-07-29
Despite my stack of books on parkinson's,I find myself almost always refering to this book for most of my questions. And answers are usually there in a nondepressing style. What's more the book goes into alternative methods of treatment as well as the conventional, Many things your doctor won't take the time to tell you.

an incredibly invaluable resource, 2007-03-06
I've had Parkinson's for a few years now, and, at age 51, have the ignoble distinction of being among those deemed "early onset." This book was among the first I bought when I was diagnosed, and stayed in the pile of books doctors and medical associations were gracious and generous enough to give me. Once I got to it, however, I quickly realized it is among the best. Descriptions, definitions, explanations... All are presented in clear, straightforward, easy-to-understand language, all are thorough without getting long-winded, and all are compassionate without being sappy or unrealistically "everything will be great." I appreciate the even-handedness of both her allopathic and holistic treatment descriptions, not offering much in the way of criticism nor over-the-top praise, just presenting the many options available. In glancing through the table of contents as i write this, to refresh my memory, i find it hard to really encapsulate this book, it is so packed with useful information. Like, how to find a great doctor. Suffice it to say that, from my experience and my belief in balancing both western and alternative medicine, this book is invaluable, for patient, friends, and family.
