An eye-opener for sure!
This is a must-read for everyone, for sure—especially politicians and college students who want to be doctors, researchers, or politicians. I want to say that these authors are right on everything they are doing--the only possible solution is to press on the government so that they ban these toxic chemicals AND, to ensure this is also done all over the world. We all share this planet, let's protect it.Amazing the stuff we deal with that is actually killing us---but, just as the current issue with the ICE versus EVs---in which, it is a no-brainer to see that ICE cars are indeed killing us (literally) and our environment, but somehow, companies are still building and selling them. Need to stop!I really like the numbers presentation and the fact that we are not investing more, either money or time trying to get to the root cause and prevent PD, not just treat it.I already tried one of the PD Apps--will see that my wife uses it so that she can track her symptoms and how mediation is helping or not. Very good job on explaining where we are--thank you Drs.Anyhow--you all need to read this book too. Go get it, read it, and let us have your two cents about its content.

Great information and resources.
I don’t remember where I heard about this book, but it was recommended to me. It is full of great information about Parkinson’s, but it also has extra resources like websites, social media, and organizations that do research and fundraising for Parkinson’s.

An unpleasant book to read but…
One that needs to be read by a lot more people.Kind of a history of Parkinson's .…you'll learn a lot about it. I didn't know that it's really not an "old" problem, and it's getting worse, more common. Quite a bit of treatment discussion.I can believe that exposure to chemicals is a major cause, but I'd never seen that in print before, it's here. I recognized some of the medication names, and learned more about them. Big section of "Call to action" stuff, lots of footnotes and acknowledgements.Worth having if you or someone you know has Parkinson's.
