From established, trusted doctors comes another groundbreaking "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You" book on Parkinson's Disease, a debilitating neurological disorder that affects over one million people in the U.S.​

Parkinson's patients can now choose from a variety of increasingly effective treatments, including new drugs, revolutionary surgical techniques, and cutting-edge alternative treatments such as intravenous glutathione therapy.

With special sections focusing on how patients can deal with persistent problems such as fatigue, depression, and balance problems, and unique chapters that specifically address the interests of the growing number of both caregivers and young-onset Parkinson's patients, this book is a must for anyone looking to alleviate the disabilities caused by this devastating illness.
