"Superbly written and researched." --Booklist "Builds a strong case." --Kirkus Lyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move into places they could not survive before. Mary Beth Pfeiffer argues it is the first epidemic to emerge in the era of climate change, infecting millions around the globe. She tells the heart-rending stories of its victims, families whose lives have been destroyed by a single, often unseen, tick bite. Pfeiffer also warns of the emergence of other tick-borne illnesses that make Lyme more difficult to treat and pose their own grave risks. Lyme is an impeccably researched account of an enigmatic disease, making a powerful case for action to fight ticks, heal patients, and recognize humanity's role in a modern scourge.

Bestselling author Bryan Rosner is back with this information-packed sequel to his 2007 book, "The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments." That book established a foundational treatment plan for Lyme disease based on Rosner's extensive research and personal experience. Now, Rosner's newest book, "Freedom from Lyme Disease," builds on the principles set forth in the earlier book. Focuses not just on describing available treatments, but also on how to coordinate and weave these treatments into a customized, individualized treatment plan.

Bryan Rosner believes that this is his most important Lyme disease book yet. Mold is old news in the Lyme disease community. Lyme doctors have known about the importance of mold for years, and have addressed it adequately with their patients. Or, at least, that is the conclusion that most patients and physicians currently believe. But what if there is more to the equation? A little-known secret that changes everything - especially for the sickest of patients?Decades ago, Erik Johnson, a patient-prototype for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), made an earth-shattering discovery through his own, private, meticulous scientific experiments and careful observations. His revolutionary new information propelled him from being bedridden to hiking Mt. Whitney in just six months. He continues to hike Mt. Whitney every year, as a testament to his recovery. He thought everyone would want to hear about his success. But researchers underestimated his findings and the medical community missed all of the clues. Patients, however, are much more motivated to find the truth, at all costs. And today, decades later, thousands of people are using Erik's approach, as part of a grass-roots movement, to recover from a wide array of debilitating diseases, when all else has failed. This book is about supercharging recovery from Lyme disease using this little-known, yet profound, healing strategy.

Health care journalist Connie Strasheim has conducted intensive interviews with thirteen of the world's most competent Lyme disease healers, asking them thoughtful, important questions, and then spent months compiling their information into organized, user-friendly chapters that contain the core principles upon which they base their medical treatment of chronic Lyme disease. --publisher.

"When Dr. Richard Horowitz moved to the Hudson Valley over a decade ago to start his own medical practice, he didn't know that he would be jumping into the center of one of the fiercest, most heated medical disputes being waged today. The ongoing debate over Lyme disease as a chronic illness has made it difficult for sufferers to find care, as doctors are in many cases unable or unwilling to diagnose it. This is how once-treatable infections can become chronic, causing disabling conditions that may never be cured. In a field where the number of cases is growing each year and answers remain elusive, Horowitz has made extraordinary progress. His plan represents a paradigm shift, without which, he argues, the suffering will continue. In this book, Horowitz breaks new ground with a 16 Point Differential Diagnostic Map, the basis for his Lyme treatment plan, and an overarching approach to treating all chronic illness. He introduces MSIDS, or Multi-Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome, a new lens on chronic illness that may prove to be an important missing link. And he covers in detail Lyme's leading symptoms and co-infections, including immune dysfunction, sleep disorders, chronic pain and neurodegenerative disorders. This book is an all-in-one source for patients of Lyme and other chronic illnesses to identify their own symptoms and work with their doctors for the best possible treatment outcome"--
