The prestigious Spanish neurologist Rafael González Maldonado has published a new book that I recommend to everyone:
"Ecological therapy for Parkinson's disease 2023. Medication, late and little.".
The pages I have been able to read on Amazon have pleased me very much: brave and full of treasures. I have already bought it in hard copy and am looking forward to reading and studying it.
My father used to tell me very often about any doubt: "I'm going to see what Maldonado says". His copy of "The Strange Case of Dr. Parkinson" is so worn and annotated..... There is no higher praise possible from a reader for a book.
Help me to publicize it and make it known to all patients and their families.
The link goes to Spain's amazon, FYI. I just purchased it on USA amazon, thank you so much for informing us of his new book! Thank you also for all that you do.
The book looks interesting. Am I right but from the short piece I read it inferred that keeping dosage of sinemet to the lowest possible was the best approach, I understand that he was advocating Macuna to start but brother is on 3 sinemet a day, should we try to reduce this as no obvious on or off periods.
I will be ordering the book but just wondered if anyone had any experience please.
‘Find the very best doctor’ I advised in my last comment. Here he is, Dr. Maldonado! Maybe I'll move to Granada. 🇪🇦
I have read the book through Kindl and am very enthusiastic. He articules what I have partly found little by little with great difficulty or experienced myself in the past 2 years. This guide completes the picture and I’m sure it will help me keep track. Problems will certainly arise that have not been described here, but I have not encountered this holistic ecological view in a neurologist before. Hats off. It makes me happy and let that be exactly what he calls premordial... I immediately ordered the French version in book form. 🍀
I am very glad, Esperanto.There are neurologists who have proposed other therapies such as Costantini, Coimbra, Birkmayer or Perlmutter.
Gonzalez Maldonado is possibly the best popularizer of the history of Parkinson's disease. He is also a neurologist.
I say this as a reader and as a historian who has been attentive to this world for 30 years.
This is very important for many who are starting out. It is not easy to see the cracks in the orthodox treatment. The figure of the specialist is vital and if he makes courageous proposals, so much the better. It helps a lot.
Goethe's seems to apply here “In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister” (In the restriction, only the master shows himself). Maldonado visualises the state of play with PD including the cracks and does not lose himself in a list of all possible treatments that may ever be able to offer a solution. After all, we have HU for this 🙂
Of course, we grab every positive message and you tend to fill you with supplements. The numbers and dosages are abnormal and seem to derive their (attraction-) strength from it. You lose track in the forest of the favourable treatment results, which are often in conflict with each other. Maldonado puts you with both feet on the ground and confines itself to the essentials. How striking that is I saw in the enumeration of the (for many of you probably far too short list) ‘essential supplements’. He starts with B6 and the risk of deficiency due to the c/l medication and the danger of peripheral neuropathy. My neurologist called me yesterday and only confirmed this phenomenon after 2 years of denial! Result double trouble with PD + irreparable PN….
Le livre est maintenant également disponible en français sous forme de livre électronique (Kindl) et sous forme reliée via amazon.fr
Traitement écologique de la maladie de Parkinson: Peu de médicaments et en retard / 1 mars 2023 / Dr. Rafael González Maldonado / ISBN-13 979-8379366551
My husband died from complications of Parkinson’s June 2022 and I always felt that from the very beginning they were prescribing him too much medication at the same time as each other. His specialist (I use that term loosely) was very polite and my husband liked her , which was most important to him otherwise he would refuse to even go to the doctors. I would have looked for other doctors if I could have found him one he liked while I was doing as much research as I could about the disease. When I would ask her about different treatments, she would say “oh no, that’s not even up for discussion” or “don’t even bother looking into Inbrija bc Kaiser won’t even consider such an expensive treatment/drug until they can make their own formulary”. I ignored that last one, looked into everything I could and it sounded very promising for Pete. It was a powder that he could inhale and get relief for off periods quickly bc it went right into his system. So I contacted the company and set everything up so I could ask her to simply write the prescription, which she did, and then he was able to use the medication. I keep wanting to report her but I didn’t want them thinking I was just mad over his passing and pointing fingers at her so I’m waiting for some more time to pass and then I will. I feel terrible about others being assigned to her. Thanks for letting me vent a little, Kimberly
