Thomas Guttuso, Jr., MD, is a professor of neurology at the University of Buffalo and a member of the Parkinson Study Group and International Movement Disorder Society. He has been treating patients with Parkinson's for over twenty years and has published over thirty articles in leading medical journals.Dr. Guttuso's research has focused on developing serendipitous new discoveries using approved medications. Through "drug repurposing," old medications known to be safe can quickly and inexpensively be tested for new applications. Dr. Guttuso has used this paradigm to make four medical discoveries, the first three of which are now being prescribed to postmenopausal women with hot flashes and women with severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. His fourth discovery became the origin of this book.
"Dr. Tom Guttuso has hit a home run for the Parkinson's community
with his new book, The Promise of Lithium. It's written in plain,
easy-to-understand English so that everyone can follow his
conclusions, and at the same time, Dr. Guttuso anticipates the
questions from real live patients like me! This book will be part
of my active collection on my desk."- Jack Quinn, former US
