Critics Review

‘This volume contains a wealth of theoretical and practical knowledge which will be of benefit to all those in the world of Parkinson’s Disease’ Professor Leslie Findley Chairman of the Steering Group of the Global Parkinson’s Disease Society Member, World Health Organisation Working Party on Parkinson’s Disease Medical Adviser to the European Parkinson’s Disease Association Past Chairman of the UK Parkinson’s Disease Society ‘The whole book is modern, comprehensive, practical and I think it really is ‘The Way Forward!’ I have read the whole book and found it to be a super help for both doctors and healthcare professionals, patients and carers. Honestly, I have not read such a detailed and multi-disciplinary book, so far’. Dr Irena Rektorov? Vice President, European Parkinson’s Disease Association Assistant Professor of Neurology, Brno University, Czech Republic ‘The book is fabulous! The new book ‘Parkinson’s Disease - The Way Forward!- is an exciting one because it really looks at Parkinson’s from an entire life perspective. I believe that you will find the book most informative’. Jo Rosen President, Parkinson’s Resources Organisation, USA ‘This may not be as headline-grabbing or sensationalist as foetal grafts or human cloning, but has the advantage of markedly improving the lives of those with this unfortunate illness’. Dr James Le Fanu Medical Health Journalist Sunday Telegraph, London, UK ‘I found the style refreshing, demonstrating a true desire for sufferers to access integrated health care at a personal level. This text should open new doors for many sufferers and widen the scope for scientific research into this devastating disorder’. Kate Neil, RN, RM, Dip. ION NS3UK - Centre for Nutrition Education, UK ‘WHAT A STUNNING BOOK! I sat down and read it through completely, and was amazed at the knowledge, and well researched detail that you have presented. Notable, are the medical and technical knowledge together with the care and real concern for Parkinson’s sufferers, which is shown by compassionate practitioners in many fields. This has to be the definitive book on this subject, giving hope, support and the tools with which to live as creatively and with as much dignity as possible. I do not just wish you well with it’s publication, but am lost in admiration!’ Vera Diamond, Dip AT MBAS MISSD UKCP Registered BAS Psychotherapist ‘This resource book is an essential user-friendly compendium and tool-kit. By following the various practical strategies described, patients with PD can be helped and encouraged to improve their quality of life, function as best as they are able, reduce symptoms and minimise the distressing side-effects of drugs’. Tony Leather, B Ed (Hons) Person with Parkinson’s Disease
