About this listen
Brain diseases are now the world's leading source of disability. The fastest growing of these is Parkinson's: the number of impacted patients has doubled to more than six million over the last twenty-five years and is projected to double again by 2040. Harmful pesticides that increase the risk of Parkinson's continue to proliferate, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated, research funding has stagnated, and the most effective treatment is now a half century old.
In Ending Parkinson's Disease, four top experts provide a plan to help prevent Parkinson's, improve care and treatment, and end the silence associated with this devastating disease. This is an indispensable guide for patients, families, clinicians, scientists, politicians, and activists.
Critic Reviews
"Over the next 25 years, the number of people with Parkinson's disease is expected to double to at least 12.9 million. With its forecasted exponential rise, most of us will either be affected personally within our own families or know someone with the disease. This book is a must-read for all of us who are or might be affected. It pulls no punches with regard to the seriousness of this emerging pandemic, and its common-sense environmental approaches and precautions, if implemented, will abate the spread of this insidious disease. I know this to be true. I lived it."—Lonnie Ali
"This book offers a clear pathway forward - while sounding out a resounding clarion alarm; prompting action - that we should all pay heed to!"—Davis Phinney, Founder, Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's
"This book shines a light on the environmental factors that put us all at risk for the disease. As a person with Parkinson's and as a father, I hope we will take the urgent action outlined in this important book to stop the growing number of people who will receive a diagnosis."—Brian Grant, former NBA player and Founder of the Brian Grant Foundation
"This book shines an essential spotlight on the need to end Parkinson's, illuminating the key issues we are all facing. It is the role of everyone in the Parkinson's community, patients, researchers, clinicians and advocates, to share this book and ensure that the authors' voices are heard."—Helen Matthews, Deputy CEO, The Cure Parkinson's Trust
"Parkinson's disease is not one disease but rather a collection of many with different contributing factors, and it satisfies many of the criteria of a pandemic. While the authors of Ending Parkinson's Disease are hopeful about making patients' lives better, their real passion is clearly centered around preventing people from ever having to face the disease in the first place. The book is a real eye-opener for people with Parkinson's, caretakers, and healthcare professionals, and should be used by activists all over the world in their discussions with politicians, policy makers and budget holders."—Susanna Lindvall, vice president, European Parkinson's Disease Association, EPDA
"A provocative read. It will certainly encourage you to consider what more you can be doing in the fight against Parkinson's Disease."—Leslie Chambers, MSPH, President and CEO of American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA)
...but as the book clearly points out this is an issue for everyone! We are all in danger of getting it and it is time to eradicate this disease. The authors clearly explain what we need to do. I was diagnosed at 37 and don't want anyone else to suffer. Now I'm promoting Exercise because of my success in helping manage symptoms with Gymnastics. My latest video 'The benefits of exercise' is super clear, not to mention my before and after video. Now I'm inspired to go further into advocacy.
I used the audible version. Could you include chapter 10 as a PDF as action points? Thankyou
Yes Yes Yes! We need more advocacy

I purchased this book, because I thought it would be full of helpful suggestions and ideas around exercise, food, and lifestyle choices, which allowed you to continue living your life as “ normal” as possible.
I don’t recommend this book.
Depressing read by monotone narrator
