Group Discussion with Dr. Ray Dorsey and "Ending Parkinson's Disease: A Prescription for Action"
Wednesday, October 7, 2020
This book does a wonderful job explaining how pesticides, industrial toxins and concussions are contributing to the rapid spread of PD (faster than Alzheimer’s Disease). Then, it tells us how we can help turn the tide by acting to Prevent, Advocate, Care and Treat. Authors Ray Dorsey, Todd Sherer, Michael Okun and Bastiaan Bloem are well known and respected doctors and scientists in the PD community.
Dr. Dorsey lead a discussion on the book and answered all our questions.
