The Parkinson's Plan (CHES)

A New Path to Prevention and Treatment

This course is only for CHES practitioners.

A groundbreaking guide to preventing and fighting this disease! The 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 this 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.” 
 
Quotes:

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

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

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

In this prescriptive guide, neurologists Dorsey and Okun explain the latest research concerning Parkinson’s, a neurodegenerative disease that causes tremors and stiffness, and detail steps for risk reduction…Readers interested in both public policy and individual risk mitigation will find Dorsey and Okun’s program accessible and inspiring. ― Publishers Weekly
