Synopsis
This book is aimed at Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, their spouses and loved ones, as well as doctors, carers, therapists, herbalists, naturopaths and interested individuals.

These include integrative medicine treatments involving nutrition, food supplements and phytotherapy. The absolute necessity of physical exercise is particularly emphasized. Finally, the book offers a glimpse into future treatments and hope to those affected.
