BioMed Publishing Group s Annual Report offers updates to patients and physicians on some of the important and impactful events of the year. Contributing Writers in the Annual Report James Schaller, M.D., Richard Brand, M.D., Sue Vogan, Ginger Savely, FNP-C, Tami Duncan, Susan Williams, and Richard Loyd, Ph.D. Author's Introduction The idea for an annual Lyme Disease report or newsletter was born after I had gathered information on several new topics, not included in my previous books, which needed publishing but did not comprise enough specific information for entire books to be written. I considered producing mini-books for each topic, but decided against this as it involves too much pre-press work, is too time consuming and expensive, and fails to incorporate the valuable information into a central, easily accessible source. Nor did I have the quantity of information necessary to produce multiple books on the several new topics I wished to publish. I have always wanted to launch a newsletter, but resisted doing so for a long time due to the pressing and demanding constraints of monthly or quarterly deadlines. Newsletter production deadlines would take time, energy, and attention away from my primary activities in the Lyme Disease community: research and evaluation of new products and information. Nonetheless, I knew that a newsletter was probably the correct outlet for the updates I desired to share with Lyme Disease sufferers and health care practitioners. Because of my reservations, I held off on publishing the information in this book for some time. Then, one day, I was nearly knocked over by the idea that launched the book you now hold in your hands: I would produce an annual newsletter. It would be the perfect combination of updated, relevant literature and a manageable production schedule. It would be the ideal tool for releasing information in a fashion that is more up-to-date than conventional books, but less grueling on the publishing side than conventional magazines and newsletters. The 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report is packed with information on a variety of topics that I believe you will find to be informative and useful. In addition to articles that I have written, I have incorporated some of the best writings of the year from numerous authors and researchers in the Lyme Disease community. I want to offer my special thanks to those writers who contributed to this report. As you will soon find out, their stories, research, and passion for healing in the Lyme Disease community, add a unique and valuable component to this report. |

this is not the book you think it is by Tigger64 (Maryland, USA)  1 Stars
September 20, 2008
I was expecting a more scientific, useful book, e.g. "here are the latest studies and where things are at with Lyme research". Instead, as one of the other reviewers noted, the author has an axe to grind. He constantly plugs his other books, to the point of saying "if you want to know what X is" (when X is something you routinely run into regarding Lyme) "buy my other book!". He also espouses snake-oil remedies. Of all the Lyme-related books I've read, this is probably the worst.
For the few paragraphs of mildly useful info, it's not worth the price.
Want a useful book? Try Pamela Weintraub's "Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic" for starters. It's a very well-researched, non-partisan examination of the current state of Lyme Disease, its treatment, and the politics surrounding both.

Two Writers Have Facts Right. Some Others Of Use by Truth Teller 2010 (New York)  4 Stars
September 04, 2008
Rosner looks at everything. So pick carefully. One of his sugars makes you fat. He seems to not know. Yet he brings in new research/clinician types like Savely and Schaller and the later had a huge section in the book. The Bartonella part saved a divorce in my family -- the tensions were Bartonella.

Lyme Awareness Art Project Reviews Bryan Rosner's Books by Linda Marcille 4 Stars
August 16, 2008
I have just received my copies of; The top Ten Lyme Disease Treatments, Lyme and Rife Machines and the 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report and as an artist the first thing I noticed is that they are all attractive books with high gloss covers and attractive cover design. Ok, the giant tick on the 2008 Lyme Disease Annual Report is kind of creepy and made me itch all over just looking at it but it is still an attractive cover and one can't argue it appropriateness. I especially like the navigational theme of the compass and the silhouette of the hiker looking up towards the rising (or setting) sun, on the cover of The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments. Lyme Disease and Rife Machines size and cover design had more of a textbook or workbook feel to it which also seemed appropriate to me considering it's technical subject matter.
The second thing I noticed was the long list of well known and highly respected names in the Lyme world that graced the covers, forwards and inner pages of Bryan's books. Names like James Schaller M.D., Sue Vogan the host of "In short order" radio program, Ginger Savely FNP-C (whom I have had the pleasure of briefly cyber chatting with), Tami Duncan from LIA, Susan Williams Public Health Alert contributor and VP of TXLAD, Richard Loyd, PhD an electrotherapeutic device expert. The pages of Bryan's books are filled with ground breaking discoveries from the top minds in the Lyme disease world.
The third thing I noticed was the large print, which will be a Godsend for those Neuro -Lyme sufferers whose vision has been affected and for those that have trouble reading because of other Lyme issues.
If you or someone you know has advanced Lyme disease and are looking for a supplement to your current treatment protocol or especially if you are looking for alternative treatment options then Bryan's books are well worth reading.

Very Informative by Graham I. Smith (Branchville, NJ) 4 Stars
July 17, 2008
Has much more information than I needed, but the coverage was good.
Author had an axe to grind. This sometimes made me question his conclusions.
As a Lyme Disease sufferer, I found the book useful.

There are enough books and websites about what Lyme Disease is and which ticks carry it.

Lyme Disease sufferers need to know how to get better, not how to identify a tick. This book is about how experimental frequency devices known as "rife machines" have been used for over 15 years in private homes to successfully fight Lyme Disease....
