This is a good time to remoind everyone of the excellent series of PD
booklets which can be obtained FREE from NPF--just call 1-800-327-4545.
They will make special arrangements to send them to countries outside the
USA ---if you follow the instructions below, which I posted a couple of
years ago to PIEN---
*****
I inquired of the National Parkinson Foundation (Miami, Florida) whether
their excellent pubs might be available to folks outside the USA and what
the costs would be.
I received the following response:
>Hello:
>Let's try it on the honor system.
>We will send the literature along with an invoice for the cost of
>shipping the package. The information as always is free.
>Please have these requests marked somewhere (Attention: M.
Alicea/Care)
>NPF
I would encourage listmembers to take advantage of this excellent resource.
I expect that pubs can be ordered by e-mail, so that not even a
long-distance phone call is required. The e-mail address is :
NPF Mailbox: <[log in to unmask]>
Don't forget to say "Attention: M. Alicea/Care"
For your information, a few of the topics covered by their pubs are:
"Patient Perspectives on Parkinsons" by Sid & Donna Dorros, "Practical
Pointers for Parkinsonians", "Nutrition Matters" (abridged from Kathrynne
Holden's book), "Fitness Counts"(exercises), "The Parkinson Handbook--a
Guide for Patients & Families", "Speaking Out"-( on speech & swallowing ),
"Medications"
If you are interested in a particular subject, include that in your e-mail
message and ask if they have something about it.
If some members try this, I would appreciate feedback as to how it worked,
and whether it was helpful!
