Any additional comments?

This book is an incredibly worthwhile read. It goes so much deeper than I could ever have imagined in terms of information and reasons to hope for future advances in technology. Having had DBS surgery just 3 months ago, Chaper # 5 on DBS was my favorite. The way Dr. O speculates about the future and what might happen as DBS evolves is far-reaching and promising. Talk about infusing patients with hope! I found the in-depth explanation of the surgery to be educational and I learned quite a bit about the effects of DBS in terms of rejuvenating brain cells.There is so much in this book beyond DBS that will help PD people for years to come. I urge other PD people to read it.
