“I did read large parts of his book ‘Parkinson Warrior’ already and I am overwhelmed by the interesting and important information it has for me, especially since I am still struggling with my present Neurologist about the most useful concept of medication. The book will help me to formulate my concerns in a better way. Thank you - Dankeschoen” - dietbaum, Amazon reader “Liked every page and each topic. My husband is now reading it, finally, 9 years after Dx, facing the reality he denied. His dad and grandfather both were afflicted, we were care givers for his dad. This book, more than anything else we have read or experienced has helped us both face “today”. We live in a remote area, and FB has been my only connection to the PD world, hubby is only on the positivity and peace site. So, our experiences have been Kind of depressing. His Dr told us we know more about PD than he does!

Parkinson's Warrior is for the fighter that is not willing to give up in the face of adversity. It's for the warrior who is told "beware the storm," to which they reply, "I am the storm." From the back cover: After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 33, Nick Pernisco thought his world was ending. He could no longer teach and went through a long period of depression – constantly asking himself “why me?” This is the story of what came next. Determined to turn his life around, Nick learned all he could about Parkinson’s, including everything about the benefits and side effects of Parkinson’s medications, the potential and limitations of natural therapies, the importance of proper nutrition, and the need for physical and emotional fitness. He began eating better, exercising regularly, and re-engaging with society. He changed his thinking about life and disease and adopted a positive attitude. He began fighting back with a Warrior Mentality. It worked. In Parkinson's Warrior, Nick shows that you don’t need to give up on your life because your body is not working as it should. He tells the story of how he came to terms with Parkinson’s and shows that, through fitness, community, and positivity, the path is open for all People with Parkinson's (PWPs) to live better, happier, and healthier lives.
