[Linda J Herman <ljherman1@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear list members,
Kathrynne Holden, our dear friend and dietician-in-residence on PIEN has
a new identity - she is now also "Ask the Dietician" on the National
Parkinson Foundation website.
To ask a question:
- Go to the NPF website:
 
- Click "Ask the Dietitian" and follow the instructions, then post your
question.

For those who are new to the list, Kathrynne is an internationally
recognized expert on the role of nutrition in Parkinson's Disease, and
has been volunteering her time and expertise for many years, answering
the many diet related questions on the PIEN.

Announcement:
"The National Parkinson Foundation has provided a new interactive site
"Ask the Dietitian." People with Parkinson's and their family members
are invited to ask questions regarding food, nutrition, supplements or
other nutrition-related concerns -- such as constipation, weight loss,
acid reflux. NPF provides this service freely, in order to bring better
understanding of nutrition needs to people with PD."

"Kathrynne Holden is a registered dietitian who specializes in diet for
 Parkinson's disease. Drawing on her former hospital experience, she has
 pioneered understanding of the unique nutrition needs of people with
 Parkinson's. Her aim is to provide the knowledge needed to prevent
 nutrition-related hospitalizations, make the best use of levodopa, and
 maintain an independent lifestyle."

Congratulations and Thank You to Kathrynne!
Linda
