Who Are We?
Dr Gary Sharpe, Phd, is a scientist and engineer by background, diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson's Disease in 2009. After six years of dying inside, he started "Out-Thinking Parkinson's" in January 2016 in order to pursue pragmatic and practical solutions towards progressive symptom reduction for people with Parkinson's Disease. Today, Out-Thinking Parkinson's has become a major resource, where Gary and colleagues from around the world, who also have an insider's perspective of PD, share their knowledge, philosophies and experience of living well with PD, and, also, record their stories of recovery.
What Do We Do?
Although strongly science backed, we are focused on pragmatic, practical and applicable research, with the lived experiences of people with PD around the world given equal weight to clinical and academic findings. We are not seeking to understand the microscopic details of the disease nor are we looking to develop the science over time scales of years, but instead we are engineering the simplest and most effective solutions that we can find and then freely sharing and documenting our empirical results for anyone else to evaluate for themselves.
Why Do We Do It?
Simply to stop the suffering of People with Parkinson's and their families as quickly as possible.
Who Is It For?
We are focused on providing information and knowledge for everyone, including People affected by Parkinson's and those involved in their care, therapy and treatment, as well as education for the general public, students and the media.
What's In It for People with Parkinson's?
Significant reductions in both symptoms and drug-induced side effects. Significant reduction in health and care costs.
What Does It Cost
Nothing. The website is free and open access. The only means of support is via this Crowdfunding Appeal, which we simply ask people who have found our work helpful to consider contributing to.
