Opis

As novas expectativas para a doenca de Parkinson sao surpreendentes. Os numeros sugerem uma necessidade urgente de acordar e reconhecer que estamos a beira de uma pandemia emergente. E assustador pensar que, nos paises mais populosos do mundo, o numero de doentes de Parkinson dobrara para quase 30 milhoes no ano de 2030. Essas crescentes estatisticas parecem inacreditaveis, mas elas sao reais, e estas sao alimentadas por uma populacao que continua a envelhecer. A idade e o fator de risco inevitavel e inegavel para o desenvolvimento da doenca de Parkinson. Com o aumento da expectativa de vida, esses numeros ficam ainda mais assustadores. Dito de outra forma, se todos vivessemos ate os 100 anos, seriamos forcados a lidar com a doenca de Parkinson, e isso levaria a uma crise mundial. Ao viajar pelo mundo como diretor medico nacional da National Parkinson Foundation (NPF), conheci dezenas de milhares de pacientes com a doenca de Parkinson, familiares e amigos. Uma das perguntas mais comuns em suas mentes era "o que posso fazer para que minha vida e as vidas dos que me rodeiam tornem-se melhores?" Eu escrevi este livro para ajudar a saciar essa sede que e compartilhada por pacientes de Parkinson e familias em todo o mundo. E nesse espirito, atraves de nossos companheiros de trabalho e colegas, que foi possivel traduzir este livro em tantos idiomas, a fim de passar a palavra ao mundo sobre os segredos de esperanca e uma vida mais feliz com a doenca de Parkinson. Internationally renowned as both a neurologist and a leading researcher, Dr. Okun has been referred to as, "the voice of the Parkinson's disease patient." He has an international following on the National Parkinson Foundation's Ask the Doctor web-forum. His many books and internet blog posts are brimming with up-to date and extremely practical information. He has a talent for infusing his readers with positivity and optimism. In his current book, he unmasks the important secrets applicable to every Parkinson's disease patient. For some sufferers the secrets have translated into walking again, for others they have restored voices, and for many they have resulted in the lifting of a depression, anxiety and desperation cloud. "There isn't any joking with Dr. Okun about the 10 Secrets for a Happier Life in Parkinson's disease. This book is a critical resource for Parkinson's disease patients and families from around the world who speak different languages, but suffer from very similar and often disabling symptoms." -Muhammad Ali The book addresses current Parkinson's disease issues and also details emerging therapies (DBS, stem cells, vaccines, gene therapy, optogenetics). Okun masterfully breaks down all of the science into an easy to follow and pleasurable reading experience. Parkinson's Treatment: 10 Secrets to a Happier Life is available in over 20 language translations, and also in an audio version. Dr. Okun has truly helped thousands of Parkinson's disease patients and families discover the core values necessary to achieve happiness despite living with a chronic disease."
