------------------------

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is more than just a medical condition—it's a rapidly growing global crisis. Since 1990, the number of diagnosed cases has surged by 118%, with deaths rising by 150%. By 2040, over 20 million people worldwide are projected to be living with PD. Despite these alarming statistics, many PD patients feel that the available treatments, particularly levodopa, fall short of providing lasting relief and hope.

In A Protest Against Parkinson's, the author—himself a PD patient—delivers an unfiltered, deeply personal account of living with this challenging condition. He explores the frustrations many patients experience with levodopa, the so-called "gold standard" treatment, which often provides only a temporary respite from symptoms and comes with significant side effects. The book also sheds light on the unintended consequences of levodopa's early success, which diverted research away from finding a true cure for decades.

However, this book is not just about highlighting the limitations of current treatments. The author also offers hope. Drawing from personal experience and the latest research, he discusses alternative approaches that may slow, halt, or even reverse the progression of the disease. He shares how carefully selected supplements, lifestyle changes, and exercise have helped him reduce symptoms and delay the need for levodopa. Importantly, he argues that these methods can be used in conjunction with levodopa to enhance its benefits and improve quality of life.

A Protest Against Parkinson's is more than a medical guide—it's a rallying cry for those living with Parkinson's to take control of their health, explore new possibilities, and find hope in the face of adversity. The author also addresses common myths about PD, offers a brutally honest description of the disease, and shares the anger and determination felt by many patients, especially younger ones, who are demanding more from the medical community.

For anyone affected by Parkinson's—patients, caregivers, and medical professionals alike—this book is a must-read. It's a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a call to action for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Congrats on getting your book out Lucas, only 18 months or so since your diagnosis. I've had a read through chapter 1 and felt a resonance with your journey on a number of levels,

I was diagnosed in Jan 2021, have some family history (although not as directly as yours - have you looked into whether you have a genetic factor at play? This may help with identifying supplements that are more relevant to, if genetic, your form of PD). I'm also UK based, have young daughters and am early onset (currently 50yrs old, diagnosed aged 47yrs).

I have no doubt your book will inspire others and provide insight and reassurance to many, PwP, carers and family members alike.

Thank you for taking the time to publish your experience and journey so far.

Best wishes, Mark

Hi Mark

Many thanks for the words of encouragement. I really wrote the book to learn myself and if that can help others, so much the better. I did try 23andMe but they found no PD genes - maybe we are just unfortunate in my family

[MarkPrana in reply to Lucas_s]

I'm similar, no genes identified but my maternal Uncle and a maternal second cousin were both diagnosed with PD

Thanks! That link didn't work for me (in the UK) but I did find the book on Kindle Unlimited. 👍

Is the book only available in Kindle?

[Lucas_s in reply to AlwaysFight]

For now, yes, but in one month as paperback

[AlwaysFight]

Great! I’ve never used Kindle, but I’ll order it and then buy the paperback when it’s available.

Not exactly free today. Free if I have Kindle Unlimited. Or a free sample. Or free for $9.99

[Lucas_s in reply to chicagojoe]

Amazon only allows you to run the free promotion for five days. The first two days ended yesterday. Next time will be in February, I expect
