An Essay on the Shaking Palsy by James Parkinson

[Farooqji]

Very Very interesting book. I am astonished to know that James Parkinson has so accurately depicted the condition. I believe that James Parkinson would have found some better treatments had he been alive for some more time

thanks! I never saw the first book written on Parkinson till now. Short and pretty accurately described in 6 people. No known obvious cause identified. He suggested Any healing is likely to be as slow as the onset, one recommendation was clearing the guts and movement …my research on those who claim to have gott better also say it was a long slow process, alot implying diet, stress management and exercise…let there be hope….

Correct me if I'm wrong : the very last words suggested to me that he makes a connection with the digestive system to the disease. Farsightedness I think.
