The Parkinson's Plan: A New Path to Prevention and Treatment
A groundbreaking prescriptive guide to preventing and fighting Parkinson’s disease, from the authors of
Ending Parkinson’s Disease
In The Parkinson’s Plan, two doctors on the cutting edge of Parkinson’s research detail the steps necessary to prevent, slow, and treat this debilitating condition. They show listeners how to prevent the disease through the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the lifestyles we live. They introduce the “Parkinson’s 25,” the most detailed checklist ever created to allow anyone to lower their risk of Parkinson’s. They interview the world’s top scientists, clinicians, and thought leaders in the Parkinson’s field to offer a detailed plan for treatment that includes cutting-edge methods and recent technological and medical advances.
The Parkinson’s Plan takes the next step in winning the battle against Parkinson’s, presenting a clear road map with the strategies and tactics necessary to create a world where the disease is increasingly rare and the treatments are more successful.

Some heart wrenching moments in this for me, having had my dear father pass away from Parkinson’s (mainly and other nuerologic diseases). But it is a very informative read and encouraging in many ways. It is less mysterious than it once was. Eye opening, worthy read. Chemical exposure is the common denominator. The big ones, being a farmer, golfer, veteran, living/working close to a dry cleaner, and just generally being from a rural environment.

The authors presented the need to research the causes of Parkinson’s Disease and to use many new research methods to control this disease whose frequency is spreading due to chemicals being inhaled or eaten.
With stories of people who have been stricken with Parkinson’s , the plan put forth by Drs. Dorsey & Olin, both neurologists, is easily understood and provides resources for those living with PD and for their caregivers.
I see the need for stopping the use of the chemicals(TCE, PCE and paraquat) and more money for research to support Parkinson’s experts as this disease increases to occur in young people. Governmental action to ban these chemicals in dry cleaning, metal parts cleaning, and farming is imperative!

I have a personal interest on the subject, as some of my family members showed as they aged some symptoms of Parkinson's. The good news, at least for me, is that I've learned a lot about what it is, what it's not, how it could develop and also had some wrong assumptions answered by this book. I've also learned regarding how the world should take care of Parkinson's patients, some great propositions for governments to ensure decline on the disease and prepare caretakers and other interested professionals into a great league of people that could take care of those patients. I liked it!

I saw the authors on C-SPAN Book TV and they seemed very knowledgeable, so I read their book. I don't have Parkinson's disease, nor do I know anyone who has it, but I have a different auto-immune disease and I was hoping to glean some insight into it.
The authors were as knowledgeable as they appeared on TV, yet the book is easy to read. Anyone with contact into the Parkinson's world, either as patient or caregiver, would gain a lot from reading this.

This easy to read book promotes preventive steps to take as the authors state that Parkinson's disease is mostly attributed to environmental causes, not genetic causes. I recommend reading the book to increase awareness about the authors' proposal to prevent and treat the disease.

Good book for those who want to take a deep dive into Parkinson’s disease.

Prevention and treatment is so feasible, if only we prioritize humanity.
