It's written solely for marketing purposes. The author has been discredited for her views about Lyme disease by Lyme patients and support groups all over the U.S.--- those that have been 'in the trenches' for years. There is nothing in this book for the person who is serious about reading about this devastating disease. At best it's a piece of 'fluff'. At it's worst---- too many things to mention. A far FAR superior book is Cure Unknown by Pam Weintraub, also sold at Amazon.

I bought this book for my girlfriend who is in her mid-thirties and has been fighting lyme for a couple years now. She tried all oral antibiotics and was advised by her doctor to turn to IV treatment. I felt that she didn't know/read much about her disease and blindly trusted doctors, that is why I decided to get her this book. Cons: Of course, author is not a certified doctor and she doesn't give a technical overview of all possible treatments out there. The disease is very complex but I feel that, in order to win the fight, it is very important to know everything about your enemy. Pros: I found this book useful because it didn't tell boring stories of people being miserable and very sick because they were diagnosed late. I feel that these stories don't really help people WITH chronic lyme disease but rather take away the hope and self-confidence - two crucial components of healing. This book gives simple but very practical advice, general and day-to-day, on how to accept changes in your life due to the disease and how to tolerate it and be optimistic. Another HUGE advantage is that the book is written by lyme-survivor which is inspiring for people struggling with lyme. You shouldn't look for a comprehensive treatment strategy in the book, but rather numerous friendly and practical advice that do help to ease the pain while fighting the disease.

This book is like talking with a friend who, like you, has been through the mill with Lyme Disease, and knows what you're going through. This friend, however, is kind of eccentric, tells you about alternative therapies you may be skeptical about, frequently brings religion into the conversation, and adds good-natured attempts at humor (with mixed success). Several chapters are either whimsical or "spiritual" advice. There is good information about detoxing and various other subjects, but the author's statements are not backed up by references, and beg for verification, for example, claiming that Lyme bacteria tend to bind with heavy metals. Please show me the study...not here....Others are pure opinion ie you should get your metal fillings removed. I would not recommend this as your first book on Lyme ("The Lyme Disease Solution" is a more informative all around resource), but it does provide some food for thought, and some useful information, and if you feel the need for a little heart-to-heart counseling, check it out.

Good validation but no new info.... by D. Greene

I was disappointed in the inconsistent writing style and found it less than entertaining. The book also lacks information on many other effective healing alternatives for Lyme. It may valuable for encouragement and support but should not be mistaken for a medical or healing guide.
