New book, " The Lyme Disease Survival Guide, " provides sufferers with

physical, emotional and lifestyle strategies for healing from the

debilitating - and now epidemic - disease.

Denver, CO - May 14, 2008 - A new book, The Lyme Disease Survival

Guide, provides a single, comprehensive resource that describes

conventional and alternative treatments, plus real-world, practical

solutions for dealing with the lifestyle and emotional difficulties of

this now-epidemic disease.

According to the CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Lyme

Disease is the fastest-growing infectious disease in the US, with more

than 20,000 new cases reported each year. The CDC estimates, however,

that only one in ten cases is reported, which means that there are at

least 200,000 new cases each year. Lyme Disease can be treated

successfully with antibiotics when - and if - it is caught early. If

it goes undiagnosed, then it becomes a multi-symptom, multi-system

illness that wreaks havoc upon nearly all of a sufferer's tissues and

organs.

Once this happens, Lyme Disease becomes chronic and difficult to

diagnose. It may masquerade as a variety of other illnesses, and most

physicians do not know how to effectively treat it. It devastates

nearly every aspect of a sufferer's existence, and ILADS, the

International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, estimates that

most chronic Lyme disease sufferers experience a level of disability

equal to that of a person who has suffered from a recent heart attack.

Existing books on Lyme disease offer few solutions for coping with the

difficult life circumstances faced by chronic Lyme disease sufferers.

For those who have been recently diagnosed, The Lyme Disease Survival

Guide gives them a good " first resource " to understand what they are

up against and start looking for answers. For those who have been

struggling with the effects of the disease for some time, the book can

provide new treatment solutions as well as insights into how to cope

with the disease.

The author

The Lyme Disease Survival Guide was written by Connie Strasheim, a

former flight attendant who suffers from chronic Lyme Disease and who

had to quit her high-flying job when the disease started to affect her

ability to work. Ms. Strasheim, determined to " get her life back "

after she became severely ill, began writing a blog called " Lyme

Bytes. " (http://www.lymebytes.blogspot.com/), where she revealed the

results of her extensive research into various coping and healing

strategies.

Ms. Strasheim's writing style and the knowledge she conveyed in the

blog attracted the attention of a publisher, Rosner, the founder

of BioMed Publishing Group. Mr. Rosner asked her to organize her

findings and articles into a book. Ms. Strasheim completed the book

while living near the rain forest in Costa Rica (she speaks fluent

Spanish), a place she had moved to, in part, to find healing. The

book's forward is written by Dr. Schaller, M.D., a

Lyme-literate physician and author of over twenty-five books,

including several on Lyme disease co-infections.

The Lyme Disease Survival Guide covers:

Physical strategies for healing Lyme Disease, including ten primary

protocols for healing, detoxification, supplements, adjunct or

supportive therapies, testing methods, and ways to discern whether a

protocol is working.

Lifestyle strategies for healing Lyme Disease, including: how to

optimize life circumstances while dealing with the effects of Lyme

Disease, information on diet and exercise, how to live mindfully,

manage relationships, finances, work and travel.

Emotional strategies for healing Lyme Disease, including how to

eliminate the devastating mental symptoms of Lyme Disease. Some of the

most common and troubling symptoms, for instance, are the loss of the

sufferer's short-term memory, and " brain fog, " both of which make

everyday tasks a challenge - if not impossible. Cognitive and

physiological strategies address both the conscious and subconscious

mind, and harness the power of belief, thought and words for healing

through visualization, prayer and other techniques for achieving wellness.

An appendix suggests the role of God in healing, and is based on Ms.

Strasheim's personal struggles with - but ultimate belief in - a God

who heals.

The complete title of the book, " The Lyme Disease Survival Guide:

Physical, Lifestyle, and Emotional Strategies for Healing, with a Dash

of Humor to Light the Way, " reflects the scope and depth of coping and

healing strategies covered in this new book, and the book's endearing

and helpful writing style. Ms. Strasheim has managed to maintain her

sense of humor as she has struggled with Lyme; her wit and spirit are

evident throughout the book. The style is conversational, even as she

describes the more complex scientific and medical findings and approaches.
