In this "must-read" guide (Lonnie Ali), four leading doctors and
advocates offer a bold action plan to prevent, care for, and treat
Parkinson's disease-one of the great health challenges of our time.
Brain diseases are now the world's leading source of disability. The
fastest growing of these is Parkinson's: the number of impacted patients
has doubled to more than six million over the last twenty-five years and
is projected to double again by 2040. Harmful pesticides that increase
the risk of Parkinson's continue to proliferate, many people remain
undiagnosed and untreated, research funding stagnates, and the most
effective treatment is now a half century old.
In Ending Parkinson's Disease, four top experts provide a plan to help
prevent Parkinson's, improve care and treatment, and end the silence
associated with this devastating disease.
