Description

A plain English guide to Parkinson's Disease, cutting through medical and technical jargon to explain the history and symptoms of PD. The book also examines a range of mainstream and alternative therapies that may help patients live better and longer. The key to many of these is regular, deliberate and controlled movement.

The incidence of PD is increasing, and is more common in men. The earlier that symptoms are recognised and acknowledged the more effectively they can be managed.

Treatments and therapies are explained in simple terms, without bias. Men are encouraged to be honest with themselves and others, and to take action to improve their quality of life. PD may be a life sentence, but it need not be a death sentence.
