A New Wave Against Parkinson's? by Albert

Foreword byAlbert Lim Tow Sun(Son in-law to Mr Teo)
Ever since I had known Mr. Teo through his eldest daughter, who is now my beloved wife of almost 16 years, I have always found him to be an ever inquisitive person with an insatiable appetite in debate as well as in the search of knowledge in the fields he is interested in at various times of his life. There were seasons where he would be debating in politics, economics or religion. As to religion, he eventually embraced Christianity after giving much headache in debate about it to his eldest daughter who was the first Christian in his home. Lately, his favourite two subjects would be Exercise in its various forms, Body Combat, Pilate and Yoga, as well as Parkinson Disease (PD).



It is his inherent nature of being inquisitive that has led him thus far to delve more into the subject of Parkinson Disease than most who has suffered the disease, whether it be in Malaysia or worldwide. With the ease of information gathering and sharing thru the internet and emails and subsequently thru blogging, Mr Teo has emerged as one of the foremost in the world to have shared in depth his experience without the shame that many PD sufferers are inflicted with in addition to their PD infliction. The very fact that he has opened up, has caused the medical profession to better understand PD. It is his hope that PD sufferers around the world would read his blog and will be awaken by the fact that PD is no longer a taboo subject which must be put away and hidden as much as is possible, but on the contrary, to be open up even more so that the medical; profession may be able to understand it fully and therefore be more equipped in attending to the multi-facet issues that comes with PD. Mr. Teo hopes that this book, in addition to his blog, will spring a new awareness in PD, so that a new wave, a tsunami of knowledge in the subject may be trigged to bring accurate diagnostic and treatment to PD sufferers in the near future.

Both are very good articles. They will certainly add another sparkling dimension to your book.
