Dr. Thomas Guttuso brings an understanding of Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's disease to a general audience. This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the two diseases. Written with the goal to help non medical personnel understand how Alzheimer's and Parkinson's affect the brain and how the progression might be stopped or slowed.
Many medical breakthroughs are a result of an accident and lithium is brought to Dr. Guttuso's attention that same way. He explains about lithium's role in possibly slowing the progression of these diseases. The Brain Bermuda Triangle, the Blood-Brain Barrier and TIME is BRAIN is discussed at length. All important aspects of understanding how lithium could affect AD and PD. Problems with using lithium are discussed such as getting funding for needed tests, drug patent issues and early trials that used too high doses of lithium. Using lithium as an FDA approved drug for AD and PD has a ways to go but by reading this book you'll have a better understanding of the promise of lithium.

Concise and hopeful for PD and AD
Written with enough information but not too detailed for the average reader. For example, why tobacco helps and it's not nicotine . Gives me hope that it will help with PD.
