The Medications of Parkinson's Disease – or – Once Upon A Pill, is the result of four years of research on the various medications of Parkinson's disease and explains how the medications work, how they are supposed to be prescribed (they are rarely prescribed correctly), what happens to people who are taking anti-parkinson's medications if they begin to recover, and our reasons for our recent (2003) decision to not work with anyone who has ever taken anti-parkinson's medications for longer than three weeks. Click here to learn more about this decision. This medications book also has a tremendous amount of material about Parkinson's disease that we learned as a result of observing the changes that occurred in medicated patients during their recovery. Many unmedicated PDers have said that they learned as much about Parkinson's disease from reading the medication book as they did from reading the Recovery from Parkinson's. The various roles of dopamine in regulating attitude, mood, movement, temperature regulation, social stress, illness, and more, is addressed in this book on medication. In general, western style physiology and chemistry of Parkinson's is addressed in the Medication book, and Asian theory about treating channel disorders is in the Practitioner's Handbook. Together, these two books provide an in depth look at the western and Asian understandings of Parkinson's, and the chemical and energetic processes that contribute to this syndrome.
