”Man skojar inte med Dr Okun om 10 hemligheter bakom ett lyckligare liv med Parkinsons sjukdom. Boken är en tillgång för patienter och anhöriga som blivit drabbade av Parkinsons sjukdom världen över och pratar olika språk men lider av samma symptom.” –Muhammad Ali Jag har känt mig som mest ödmjuk i livet när jag har spenderat tid med patienter och deras anhöriga som lider av Parkinsons sjukdom eller andra neurologiska sjukdomar. Jag använder ordet ödmjuk då vi gång på gång, både genom personliga möten men även genom webbforumet, lyckats lösa enkla frågor som har förändrat människors liv. För några har det lett till att de kan gå igen. För andra har rösten återställts. Slutligen har det för vissa inneburit att depression, ångest, och det mörka molnet som skymt deras drömmar och möjlighet till lycka skingrat sig. Jag har aldrig tagit för givet att en drabbad eller en anhörig är medveten om ”hemligheterna” som kan leda till ett lyckligare liv fyllt med hopp. Vi måste dela med oss av hemligheterna, det är det främsta målet med denna bok. Boken är översätt och tillgänglig på över 20 språk så att vi kan hjälpa människor världen över.

Parkinson's Treatment: 10 Secrets to a Happier Life: Parkinson's Treatment: Swedish Edition

10 hemligheter bakom ett lyckligare liv med Parkinsons sjukdom

In this "must-read" guide (Lonnie Ali), four leading doctors and advocates offer a bold action plan to prevent, care for, and treat Parkinson's disease-one of the great health challenges of our time. Brain diseases are now the world's leading source of disability. The fastest growing of these is Parkinson's: the number of impacted patients has doubled to more than six million over the last twenty-five years and is projected to double again by 2040. Harmful pesticides that increase the risk of Parkinson's continue to proliferate, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated, research funding stagnates, and the most effective treatment is now a half century old. In Ending Parkinson's Disease, four top experts provide a plan to help prevent Parkinson's, improve care and treatment, and end the silence associated with this devastating disease.

Parkinson's Treatment English Edition: 10 Secrets to a Happier Life is available in over 20 language translations, so that all worldwide cultures can have access to the secrets that can help those living with Parkinson's disease. Additionally the book addresses all of the new and emerging Parkinson's disease therapies (stem cells, gene therapy, optogenetics, etc.).The most humbling experience of my life has been the time I have spent with families, and with patients suffering from Parkinson's and chronic neurological diseases. I use the word humbling, because time after time, in person, and also on the web forum, we have uncovered simple and addressable issues and secrets that have changed people's lives. For some sufferers it has meant walking again, for others it has restored their voices, and for many it has resulted in the lifting of a depression, anxiety and desperation cloud that has obscured their dreams, and robbed them of potential unrealized happiness. I never assume a sufferer or family member is aware of the “secrets” that may lead to hope and to a happier life. We must share these secrets, and this is the purpose of this book.Each chapter of this book reveals an important secret, and with each secret I will explain the insight, the rationale, the empiricism, and the science behind it. In each chapter I will also try to reveal a little more about myself, and a lot more about the patients and talented clinicians who gifted the Parkinson's secrets. These patients planted the seed of faith. They learned to grow hope, and they discovered the core values necessary to achieve happiness despite the chronic illness of Parkinson's disease.
