Parkinson's Treatment Filipino Edition: 10 Secrets to a Happier Life

Ang makabagong tantiya ng pasyenteng may Parkinson's disease ay may pagsuray. Kung eksakto, ang bilang na ito ay nagpapahiwatig ng kagyat na pangangailangan na gumising at kilalanin na tayo ay nasa binggit ng umuusbong na sakit pangmalawakan. Nakakatakot na isipin na sa pinakamataong nasyon sa mundo, ang bilang ng taong dumaranas ng sakit na Parkinson's disease ay dodoble ng halos 30 milyon sa taong 2030. Ang tumataas na istatistikang ito ay maaaring hindi kapanipaniwala, ngunit ito ay totoo, at dahilan na rin nito ang pag dami ng matatanda sa populasyon. Ang edad ng isang tao ang siyang pinaka hindi maiiwasan at hindi maikakailang kadahilanan na nagdudulot ng Parkinson's disease. Dahil sa ang buhay ng makabagong tao ay mas humahaba sa mga panahong ito, tinatayang mas darami ang bilang ng mga magkakaroon ng sakit na ito. Sa ibang salita, kung ang lahat ng tao ay mabubuhay hanggang sa edad na 100, marami sa atin ang haharap sa sakit na Parkinson's disease at ito'y magiging pangmalawakang krisis.

Sa aking paglalakbay bilang Nasyonal Medikal Director ng National Parkinson Foundation, nakilala ko ang libulibong taong dumaranas ng sakit na Parkinson's disease, ang kanilang pamilya at mga kaibigan. Ang isa sa pinakamadalas na tanong sa kanilang isipan ay " Ano ang aking maaaring magawa upang mapaganda ang buhay ko at ng mga tao sa aking paligid?". Aking sinulat ang aklat na ito upang pawiin ang katanungan iyon na pinagsusunuan ng mga pasyenteng may Parkinson's disease at ng kanilang mga kapamilya sa buong mundo. Kasama ang aming mga kasamahan sa lipunan at mga naging fellows ninais naming maisalin ang aklat na ito sa pinakamaraming lenguahe na posible upang maibahagi ang mga sekreto sa pagkakaroon ng pag- asa at mas masayang buhay sa Parkinson's disease.
