From established, trusted doctors comes another groundbreaking "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You" book on Parkinson's Disease, a debilitating neurological disorder that affects over one million people in the U.S. Parkinson's patients can now choose from a variety of increasingly effective treatments, including new drugs, revolutionary surgical techniques, and cutting-edge alternative treatments such as intravenous glutathione therapy.

In contrast, researchers have only recently begun to focus on the NMS of Parkinson's Disease, which are poorly recognized and inadequately treated by clinicians. The NMS of PD have a significant impact on patient quality of life and mortality and include neuropsychiatric, sle...
