Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and leading expert on Parkinson’s disease, which is the fastest growing brain disorder in the world.

Dorsey’s research points to toxic environmental exposure as the root cause of the disease, including pesticides commonly used on golf courses, and chemicals frequently used in dry cleaning.

He and Dr. Michael Okun of the University of Florida have co-written a book called The Parkinson’s Plan—A New Path to Prevention and Treatment.
