Don't See Your Doctor Without It by SiteReader

Very helpful, must-read for a Lyme sufferer. If you have it, or think you do, read this. Most doctors do not know the score on this widespread and dangerous disease. Some common misconceptions, shared by most doctors:

* You can show negative on the standard tests, and still be infected with the Lyme spirochete.

* Only about half of those infected ever show a red, bullseye rash.

Even if your doctor decides you have it, he will probably prescribe too short a course of antibiotics to be effective, and fail to take other measures. Go to a Lyme-aware specialist, even if he/she is off your insurance, or you don't have insurance. You're worth it. Untreated, this disease can kill or disable you, and cause irreparable damage to your mind.

Also worth noting, many people previously diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, and arthritis actually have Lyme. There have even been misdiagnoses of MS, lupus, and some others.

The book also covers all the major tick-borne co-infections--bartonella, ehrlichiosis, babesia, etc.--which commonly occur with Lyme, and sometimes in place of it. His anti-inflammation diet also proved very good for me. Cured my "irritable bowel syndrome" as a side benefit, and I'm losing some weight.

Dr. Singleton avoids the politics and horror stories, and just gets to the things that will help and inform you. If you want the science, politics, and history, which is a horror story, read Pam Weintraub's "Cure Unknown." Also highly recommended.

Lyme Help, Finally! by M. Stewart (Philadelphia, PA)

I've been a lyme patient for years and it wasn't until this book that I am finally on my way back to total health. Dr. Singleton not only covers testing and treatment, but the ability to fix the damage caused by lyme. If you've had chronic lyme, it causes damage in your body and quite a bit of inflammation. The lyme and coinfections could be gone, but you need to continue ways to heal your body from this damage. Dr. Singleton takes the patient full circle and I've not found that anywhere else but in this book. So, if you want to know how to feel better during and after treatment for lyme, then this is the best complete guide out there today.

An excellent book, from cover to cover; a must buy! by D. M. Owen III

I totally disagree with the quakery label given by one of the reviewers, and quite frankly I think it is irresponsbile to label a fantastic book such as this as quakery. I've been suffering from Lyme for several years, and I can say wholeheartedly that the information in this book has helped me immensely - physically, emotionally, and spiritually! He does a great job of describing in easy to understand terms what Lyme is all about, the different types of Lyme infections, and the current treatments being used, along with comments about the effectiveness of various remedies and medicines. Possibly just as important, he describes how other factors play a part in the overall strategy for battling the disease (diet, sleep, spiritual wellness, etc).

There is no known cure-all for Lyme disease. For the thousands and thousands who suffer from the debilitating side affects of the infection, we know that a 30 day treatment with antibiotics just isn't going to cut it.. .we've been down that road too many times. It takes a dedicated long term approach using medicines, diet and exercise.

Doctor Singleton's methods for battling Lyme show an immense knowledge and appreciation of the powers of Lyme and its infections, and what we as sufferers can do to win the battle!

I recommend this book highly for those suffering from this disease, as well as those who have friends/family/loved ones who are also dealing with Lyme. Two thumbs up.

An indispensible lyme disease reference by Jennifer D. Wilson (Maryland)

As both a nurse and a patient, I found "The Lyme Disease Solution" to be the best reference book on lyme thus far. Not only is it packed full of information from A to Z (too much to attempt to list it all here) it is printed so as to be easy on the eyes. Since having lyme I have found it hard to read small typeface or tight line spacing, so I am especially grateful to have larger typeface and spacing!

I appreciate that the information presented is in clear, everyday English, not complicated medical jargon. Dr. Singleton maintains a positive tone throughout, not doom and gloom, so a person feels hopeful after reading this, not despondent. Other lyme books I have read left me confused and depressed.

What I have found unique and so utterly important is the "lyme inflammation diet" included in the book (along with easy recipes)that is the cornerstone of his program. It is designed to reduce inflammation in the body (which runs rampant with us lymies). Not only is the diet healthy, you just may lose some weight along the way. Thank you so much Dr. Singleton for stepping forward and sharing your knowledge with us. May we all heal from this dread disease.

Very readable discussion of leading edge herbal and pharmaceutical Lymes treatments by Steven Sponaugle

5 Stars

The Lyme Disease Solution contains a good overview of treatment for Lymes Disease,Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It is a very well written and organized discussion of an integrated pharmaceutical, herbal, nutritional Lymes treatment approach.

This book is easier to read than Healing Lymes, by Stephen Buhner, but does not contain the same depth of herbal research.

The case histories of successful treatment outcomes for Lymes, Babesia, Bartonella, and Ehrlichia are encouraging. Dr. Singleton discusses his own experience with Lymes, which was originally diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Singleton also briefly mentions that President George W. Bush was treated for Lymes disease, after the characteristic Bulls Eye rash appeared.

A surprisingly thorough section on repelling and avoiding ticks is included.

The Lyme Disease Solution contains some Lymes treatment recommendations I have not seen in other books, including acetylglutathione ; using quercitin to decrease dieoff severity; ascorbic palmitate to protect cartilage and low dose Naltrexone to increase immunity. Singleton recommends CLA, curcumin, chlorella, ALA, green tea, Andrographis and alpha glycans to stimulate PPAR.
