Hi. my friends !
A special report from Harvard Medical School, PARKINSON'S DISEASE - A NEW
HOPE, by John E. Growdon, M.D., Director, Memory and Movement Disorders
Unit, Massachusetts General Hospital Professor of Neurology, Harvard
Medical School.
Excerpt from flyer I received:

disabilities. The
report will help you understand this condition so you can make informed
decisions
refarding treatment and long term care. ... also offers advice on how to
better cope
with the disease."
Newly revised and updated, topics include:
What arae the first signs of Parkinson's?
How the brain is affected by this condition
What are the risk factors?
The four main symptoms
Coping with the diagnosis
Medications and their side effects
Surgical approaches
Nutrition and exercise
Concerns for caregivers
I receive several Harvard Publications. I will try to abstract and
post to
our list when this issue arrives. Otherwise I will send copy to one of our
expert abstractors with permission to post. (Joe "cheers" R. Bruman, who
