Product Description
Product Description
Conventional management of Parkinson's disease (PD) is limited. The pharmaceutical and surgical options that are available have significant side effects and only correct symptoms for a limited period of time. Even with the best conventional treatment, the disease progresses and becomes severely disabling. No existing conventional therapies that the progress of the disease; available medicines only treat symptoms temporarily. Conventional medicine views the course of the disease as "progressive" and "irreversible." Many patients, who are only partially satisfied with conventional medicine, seek alternative and complementary options in an attempt to slow, stop, or reverse the disease process.

Important new book, Jan 25 2010
By Paul B. "Critic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease (Paperback)
Dr. Laurie Mischley's new book, Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease, will provide both information and solace for those with Parkinson's Disease and their families. It's a book for anyone who is not content to treat Parkinson's passively with drugs but who wants a diet and a nutritional regimen that will help slow or even reverse the progression of the disease. It's also an important read if you have someone with Parkinson's in your family, as Mischley's book is as much about prevention as about treatment.Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease is research- and science-based. It contains a long list of references to medical studies that support its claims. Perhaps most important, Dr. Mischley's book is a book to take to your doctor. It's written as a bridge between the medical and naturopathic worlds--to educate both patients and neurologists about a holistic, science-based alternative to purly symptomatic treatment.

This review is from: Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease (Paperback)
Dr. Mischley is the best-known Naturopathic Parkinson's expert in the country. She has given me encouragement that can add years to my life. Her book captures the basics.She respects the medications prescribed by Movement Disorder Specialists and adds her knowledge of diet, mineral and vitamin supplementation to help slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease. The book is well organized. If you have a problem, such as constipation, nutrition, sleep, or some other symptom of the disease, within seconds you can find her recommendations. Her knowledge is based on solid research and concentrated first-hand work with Parkinson's patients for more than ten years. This is a Must Read.

This review is from: Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease (Paperback)
I found this book very informative and easy to understand. Plus,(even though I am a trained herbalist) I found the section on constipation of excellent value with info I hav'nt read before. Also the dietary and supplementary considerations are well thought out and easy to undertake. All in all an excellent book.
