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 readers 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."The Parkinson's Plan meets this moment with science, clarity, and a path forward--for families living with Parkinson's today, and for the future generations we must protect."--Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent, CNN
"Parkinson's became personal for me when my dad was diagnosed several years ago. I've seen firsthand how challenging the journey can be. The Parkinson's Plan is a powerful resource for anyone walking this road."--Tim Tebow
"Parkinson's is a devastating, heartbreaking disease. This book brings clarity to the link between environmental toxins and brain health and sets an urgent, moral imperative: we must stop every preventable case of Parkinson's."--Senator Cory Booker
"Parkinsonian disorders do not respect political party or national boundaries. They affect all of us--our neighbors, our friends, and our families. We have experienced far too much of these diseases. To prevent and end this suffering, we helped pass a bill that calls for a national plan. Ray and Michael, two compassionate and thoughtful neurologists, have now taken the first step toward providing one."--Congressman Gus Bilirakis and Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, from the Foreword
"We need more than awareness--we need action. The Parkinson's Plan is a powerful step in that direction. It challenges the broader system to do better: to make quality care the standard--not the exception--and to end the decades of pollution that is fueling the rise of this insidious disease."--Lonnie Ali
