Guest guest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Connie, The absolute two best books I've read on Lyme are " Cure Unknown " by Weintraub, which synthesizes much of Lyme research, and explains how we got here today, and also covers treatments. The other is " The Lyme Disease Solution " by Dr. Ken Singleton, which is extremely detailed about treatments (and tick prevention!). As for the book you mentioned, I've skimmed it because I go to one of the doctors featured in the book. As I recall, it is very expensive ($26) and it was hard to sort through everything if you are reading it for treatments -- they are varying, and drove me a bit crazy. They also feature a homeopathic doctor that I've had an appt. with for my son, and he does not believe in antibiotic treatment for Lyme at all, only homeopathic remedies. I'm afraid I completely disagree, so to include him on the same basis as a lot of the other doctors made it hard for me to distinguish which practitioner was " legitimate " (can't come up with a better word) and which was really fringe. If you are looking for treatment options I also found the ILADS treatment guidelines were very helpful in sorting out what was recommended (by doctors I trust).

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Aline, I read it. It is a good book. Basically you will hear the names of lots of herbs, antibiotics, supporting supplements, etc, etc, just in passing. It is a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get an idea of what Lyme docs are using right now. Of course, stuff changes really fast, and new herbs and things come out all the time. You might also try skimming it in amazon. You can click the " look inside " button and search for some phrases in the book and read the surrounding pages. Or at least see the table of contents. ~ > > Has anyone read Insights into Lyme Disease by Connie Strasheim? 2009 > I am wondering if it is worth purchasing. I borrowed a couple books interlibrary loan (central Pa.)as our library does not have many Lyme books and they are older. > I read both but am looking for something that would give me a better idea about what to expect from treatment and how to get well. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi surella, i find that i react to the mold and perfume in books (from previoue readers) if they are old and print and formaldehyde if books are new. It's very common for those with mcs or mold illness to react to books, very absorbant ----- Sent from mBox Mail on my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
