Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease

Natural Therapies for Parkinson's Disease

There are approximately 1.5 million Americans with Parkinsonâ€™s disease
(PD), and more than 60% use nutritional supplements and alternative
therapies. With this book, patients and health care providers will have
an easy-to-use, reliable, comprehensive resource for commonly used
nutritional, naturopathic, and orthomolecular therapies.

Conventional management of PD is limited. While the pharmaceutical and
surgical options offer tremendous symptom relief, they have significant
side effects and only address some of the symptoms. Existing therapies
do not slow disease progression. In conventional medicine, PD is largely
considered irreversible and progressive.

Dr. Mischley has been treating patients with PD for almost a decade and
does not believe the disease need be either progressive or irreversible.
It is her medical opinion that PD progression can be halted, and possibly
reversed, with proper nutrition and optimization of biochemical function.
Both her clinical experience and her understanding of the literature support
this perspective.

This book has several functions:
- It is a science-based reference manual.
- It is inspiring and empowering to patients.
- It is educational for both patients and neurologists.
- It is entertaining.
- It fosters an understanding between conventional and complementary
providers.
