This is a HUGE book on the history of PD and it is easy to read and it is free. Among the things you will find:
There have been a lot of other treatments before L-dopa and some seem to have worked as well.
Symptoms have changed considerably over the last 200 years.
Salvation has been just around the corner for an uncomfortably long time.

Thanks for this!! I love this stuff! I remain convinced that today's researcher/clinicians are on the wrong path too, and i think that a lot of modern pharmaceuticals make the disease worse - i.e. Citalopram (which i got stuck on to help me wean of clonazepam) the product monograph cites side effects that are a LOT like Parkinsonism....Ashford, in her withdrawal manual for benzodiazepines states that 3 of her patients got diagnosed by neurologists as having MS. Anyway, this is great reading.
