Dear Dietitian,
I fully agree that large investment are invested on diseases that you have mentioned by underdeveloped countries besides PD.
In view of the limited sources we are shortage of PD movement disorders specialists .
As the result there are 4 PD Neurologists in Singapore and one in Malaysia.
Some PD patients were diagnosed by doctors as ageing diseases as wrongly/inaccurately diagnosed caused the PD patients aggravate and die by other fatal infestion diseases made worsen PD itself.
As the high number of PD patients are increasing. I feel sorry for it. '

Dear Teo,
I too am very sorry that information, resources, and neurologists specializing in PD are all so scarce.
I very much hope that this news will spur more research, and cause more physicians to become aware of PD and the need for accurate diagnosis.
Your posts have made me aware of the great need that exists in your area of the world, and doubtless other countries as well.
Best regards,
Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD
