Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Is everyone okay with this being posted here? I usually delete advertising and am on the verge of pushing the button on this one, but since this is so related to what many here are dealing with, I'm not sure whether it's helpful information or annoying. I don't know the doctor/autor of this book and can't vouch for its accuracy. I'd have felt better if it had just been sent as a normal message from a list member, rather than sent out as a Press Release. Let me know what you all think. thanks, pennyTheSkyKing@... wrote: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - DECEMBER 12, 2006 Lyme Disease Doctor Publishes Babesia Book A recently published book on Babesia, available at http://www.lymebook.com/babesia , fills an important gap in existing Lyme Disease literature. Here's why: Lyme Disease is the fastest spreading infectious disease in the United States, with more than 200,000 new cases per year, according to the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients. What most people do not know, however, is that the Lyme Disease infection is often accompanied by other types of infections, commonly known as "co-infections.†These co-infections are typically transmitted to the patient when the Lyme-carrying tick transmits Lyme Disease bacteria. Ticks carry numerous types of bacteria, protozoa, and other microorganisms – not just Lyme bacteria. One of the most common co-infections is Babesia, a hemoprotozoan parasite which can infect humans and cause a plethora of symptoms. As awareness of Lyme Disease grows, so does the availability of Lyme Disease literature. Fortunately for Lyme Disease sufferers, the last several years have seen an explosion of Lyme Disease books, web sites, and articles. However, unfortunately, there has not been a corresponding increase in available literature that addresses co-infections such as Babesia. This is a large problem because co-infections play a very significant role in Lyme Disease, and if co-infections are not accurately diagnosed and successfully treated, recovery can be insurmountably difficult. That is why the new book on diagnosing and treating Babesia, written by Schaller, M.D., is so important. Dr. Schaller, who practices medicine in Florida, has long been an expert in the management of Lyme Disease. However, he became particularly interested in Babesia after one of his own children was infected with the protozoan parasite. This experience, combined with his clinical experience treating hundreds of patients, gave Dr. Schaller the knowledge and resources necessary to write a book that is considered by experts to be the most complete Babesia book available in the English language. Dr. Schaller's book, entitled "The Diagnosis and Treatment of Babesia: Lyme's Cruel Cousin – The Other Tick-Borne Infection,†is a must-have tool for patients and practitioners who deal with Lyme Disease and its co-infections. The book explains many important concepts that are unfamiliar to internists, family doctors, pediatricians, infectious disease physicians and emergency physicians. It reviews thousands of articles and presents the results of interviews with world experts on the subject. In the book you'll find analysis of treatment options presented in a clear and simple manner with coverage of both conventional and alternative approaches. All treatments are explained thoroughly, including their possible side effect, drug interactions, various dosing strategies, pros/cons, and physician experiences. Babesia is a burgeoning public health threat. Understanding how to diagnose and treat this condition is critical in the year 2006. To learn more about Dr. Schaller's Babesia book, visit http://www.lymebook.com/babesia . Everyone is raving about the all-new beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I already saw the same info somewhere else, but otherwise, I would have been glad to find out here that it exists. It would be more useful to hear someone's opinion of the book though. - Kate On Dec 13, 2006, at 8:27 PM, Penny Houle wrote: > Is everyone okay with this being posted here?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I helped Schaller edit his book. I think it is great and well worth buying/reading. It is also good to pass along to your doctor if you suspect you may have babesia. Dr. Schaller is in the same camp as the good Lyme docs and also works closely with Dr. Shoemaker and the mold toxin folks. Does he make money? I hope so, because the south needs a few more like him to treat Lymies. a Carnes > > Is everyone okay with this being posted here?

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks for your input, a, and everyone else. Since people find it valuable, and vouch for the book, I'll let it stand. But just know that this doesn't have anything to do with whether the author makes money or not. It has to do with whether we want to allow subtle advertising on the list (this was borderline). I felt I was being pitched, not informed. Perhaps it wasn't intended that way at all. Anyway, as long as people understand that we don't accept promos or advertising as a general rule of thumb, we're okay. pennypjeanneus <pj7@...> wrote: I helped Schaller edit his book.
