Product Description
Despite Centers for Disease Control estimates that only 20,000 new Lyme disease infections occur each year, the true figure, as Harvard medical school researchers have found, nearly approaches 200,000. Symptoms run from mild lethargy to severe arthritis to incapacitating mental dysfunction. And despite medical pronouncements to the contrary, extensive research has found that tests for the disease are not very reliable and antibiotics are only partially effective; up to 35 percent of those infected will not respond to treatment or will relapse. The spirochetes that cause Lyme are stealth pathogens—they can hide within cells or alter their form so that antibiotics cannot affect them. Lyme disease is, in fact, a potent, emerging epidemic disease for which technological medicine is only partially effective.
Healing Lyme examines the leading, scientific research on Lyme infection, its tests and treatments, and outlines the most potent herbal medicines and supplements that offer help—either alone or in combination with antibiotics—for preventing and healing the disease. It is the essential guide to Lyme infection and its treatment. |

Fascinating-- a must-read 
This was fascinating. I could not put it down. It is the most thorough explanation of Lyme. The remedies and preventions are almost completely herbal-based. This should be required reading for anyone in an area in which Lyme disease is a chance.

To J. Philbot: No Prednisone! 
Having read your review I grew alarmed. Yes it likely is that you do have a rare allergic reaction, but if you have Lyme, taking prednisone is the wrong way to deal with that, or with a reaction to a symptom from taking something that you are trying to treat your Lyme with. No one should take steroids internally if they have Lyme Disease, unless it's an emergency. Steroids suppress the immune system, which can be dangerous with an infectious disease.
I say this not because I can stop you now, but so that anyone with Lyme who reads this would be aware in case they decide to take an internal steroid that they are aware of the dangers associated with it. Please google "Steroids and Lyme Disease" and get educated on it. From personal experience I can say it only makes things worse. I am not a doctor, but I have experienced side effects from this that are very indicative that I shouldn't have taken the steroids. I repeat, I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I'm strictly warning from what I've read and my own body's reaction to such drugs.
I have not read the book yet, but I felt that it was critical to post to warn people of the dangers of steroids when you have Lyme disease.. I have ordered the book though, it looks like a wealth of information, especially since it talks about TOA-free cat's claw so I'm giving it a tentative "3".
I just felt this issue was too important to wait on.
I'll return after I read the book!

excellent book! 
Excellent book for those wanting to avoid or add to their antibiotics protocol. Very comprehensive. I can attest to the fact the herbs do in fact work.

Best book on Lyme. You must read this!
Lyme is a major epidemic right now, and most doctors are thoroughly ignorant on the matter and have no idea how to properly treat it, often whimsically giving everyone the same three weeks of antibiotics which do nothing.
Buhner lays out a thoroughly researched book with all the information you need to completely and intelligently understand the disease and take measures to cure yourself of it. It CAN be cured!
I'm just about to start the herbal protocol and will post another review in a few months.
I'd also like to recommend to anyone with Lyme that they look into the "Ultimate Zapper."
Remember, every day in relatively good health should be spent singing from the rooftops. You cannot trust your GP on the matter of Lyme disease, or anything else for that matter. Educate yourself and be your own expert.
