WHY THIS BOOK IS UNIQUE...
In a unique way, leading international medical specialists and healthcare professionals have been brought together by Dr Geoffrey Leader & Lucille Leader to present a new and dynamic approach to the management of Parkinson's disease - this is care by a team of specialists, each supporting the different needs of Parkinson's people and their partners. This integrated approach to management, as presented in this specialized book, allows patients, carers and health professionals to make informed choices about the most effective supportive therapies available.
The style of writing is user-friendly, optimizing function and well-being through the educated use of drugs, nutrition, physical, sexual and emotional strategies. This approach helps to reduce the feeling of helplessness typically associated with this degenerative illness. Patients are given the opportunity to make a tangible difference to the quality of their lives.
It has been the aim of the authors to optimise the entire functional health of individuals so that they may function as best as they can. In so doing, they are able to enhance their mental and physical potential and derive a sense of well-being not often experienced by sufferers of Parkinson's disease.
The book is especially designed for patients and carers as well as their physicians and allied healthcare professionals (who are supplied with an abundance of comprehensive scientific references.)
The chapters are presented in comfortable sized print for study and there are photographs and diagrams.
