Medical Myths and Parkinson’s

with Benzi Kluger, MD, MS, FAAN

Tuesday, May 17, 2022

1 pm MDT (12 pm PTD, 2 pm CDT, 3 pm EDT)

One of the blessings and curses of the time we live in is that anyone can hit publish and push their ideas, products, treatments, and advice out to anyone with an internet connection. Sifting through this information and evaluating it is no easy task; however, our host for this webinar, Dr. Benzi Kluger, knows how to do exactly that. In this session, we’ll talk to Dr. Kluger about many of the myths you may have read regarding Parkinson’s, the proliferation of medical bullsh*t that’s growing by the minute, and important clues to look out for when it’s time to evaluate the merits of a Parkinson’s article, product, treatment, or cure.
