as a recently diagnosed parkinson disease person, i have read and re-read everything i could get from pd foundations on symptons, treatments and what to expect with pd. the title of this book, "shaking up parkinson disease - fighting like a tiger, thinking like a fox" led me to believe that the famous dr.lieberman would be revealing actions and stragegies not previously printed on dealing with and CURING pd. the title is misleading...contents are almost word for word from his "100 questions & answers about parkinson disease," which i found well organized and quite useful. why were relatives of pd patients interviewed when there are approximately 1 1/2 million
people WITH pd? [whose views are highly valued by me]. i was offened as the good doctor and a-l-l of his famous family interviewes promoted the bible as part of the cure and spouted
endless quotes from it. while spiritual growth may play a part in dealing with this disease, it is incorrect to promote one faith's book of books as part of the actual cure! purchasers would be better served had the dr. shared proactive ways to participate in finding the cure and left his religous beliefs for a book on faith!

Anyone with Parkinslon's disease as well as their caretaker should appreciate this book. It is well-written and empathethic. Dr. Abe Liebberman has answered questions I have had about the baffling condition and it is unfortunate that we do not have more doctors with his knowledge and expertise in America today.

I purchased this book for my mother who is suffering from parkinson disease. She can easily read this book and understand the terminology...not over her head. She is much more content in understanding what is happening to her body and what she can do to help herself now.

I bought this book for my wife who has had Parkinson's for almost 18 years. She has many books and articles on the disease and "Shaking up Parkinson Disease" is one of the best because the author has clearly identified those critical symptoms that make the disease what it is.
Those who have Parkinson's will find confirmation of and detailed descriptions of those symptoms one tends to question about the disease.
Highly recommended for new and old Parkinson's suffers and their caregivers.
