10 Breakthrough Therapies for Parkinson's Disease: English Edition Paperback – August 21, 2015

Outstanding! I couldn't put this book down. The author is a doctor who has the ability to write in a layman's language. You don't need a medical dictionary to understand. I read this book as if it were a juicy mystery. I have Parkinson's and will be getting a DBS In February 2016. This book was the most uplifting, informative, easy to read and understand non-fiction book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I bought the first copy for my Kindle and just ordered a paperback copy to lend out. If you, or a family member, or friend has been diagnosed with Parkinsons, this book will give them hope. It will also provide information on what's available now along with what the future may bring.

Nice book to keep you updated especially if you're not one to siff through journals. It simplifies the latest in PD treatment.

I have several Parkinsons books. This one is easy to read and understand.

Dr. Okun has compiled a treasure trove of information of not only current therapies, but also of prospective ideas and efforts being made in the field of Parkinson's disease. It is an optimistic perspective of what is in practice presently and the possibilities of what might be available in the not too distant future. More importantly, it illustrates how the medical community has bonded inits effort to develop an interdisciplinary system to both protect the parkinsons patient and to optimize treatment.As a caretaker and a movement specialist, I shall use this book at all times. As for my family member who is afflicted with pd, he is being taught how to be proactive in his own treatment and to identify changes as they occur.This book is not only a must read, but a must have. Thank Dr. Okun.

I like how Dr. Okun presents the information to patients and caregivers, giving a broader picture behind the treatments mentioned and not jumping to conclusions. For example, with some of the secondary therapies for Parkinson`s, he honestly lays out the risks and potential benefits. He probably should note more of the side effects of medications for some of the non-movement symptoms, especially the older ones. I did pick up some intro information into deep brain stimulation (DBS) through this book (more detail here than I have heard from most sources). I am not a patient, but I think this book could be a useful add-on to medical care.

The book has limited information but what is provided is written in an easy to understand format.

Up to date and new info. This was a gift for a friend with Parkinson's.He commented about the newness of some of the information.It was a bit sciencey in places for a layman such as myself.

Dr Okun has done it again by bringing hope to Parkinson's patients as myself with his second book. He's written a simple to read book explaining a very optimistic and promising future for Parkinson's patients. The "10 BREAKTHROUGH THERAPIES for PARKINSON'S DISEASE" is a must read for PD patients, their family and care givers. His "Take Home Points" at the end of each chapter I found to be an excellent and simple summarization of his detailed and up to date information he writes about in the chapters. It helps my future outlook to read and understand these breakthroughs that are happening to alleviate the PD symptoms, slow down and eventually stop the progression. Thank you Dr Okun for your passion in your work for Parkinson's patients!
