While not completely current much of this still applies, good for us who hate reading reams of text on our computers. Covers good practices and treatment options as well as the many variations on Parkinson's. For the latest info http://www.parkinson.org/ is a good place to start. Normal caveat, this is an area of medicine with lots of quacks offering cures, so be wary.
