Dear Listfriends, I will be setting "nomail" soon, as we'll be traveling back home. I look forward to addressing my colleagues at the American Dietetic Association's annual meeting in Denver this month -- I will speak on nutrition for Parkinson's disease, and I hope this will increase awareness of PD among nutrition professionals. I have developed a new manual for dietetics practitioners -- "Parkinson's Disease: Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy" which will help health professionals to provide appropriate nutrition care. I look forward to rejoining Parkinsn on my return, and will miss you all very much in the meantime!
