A riveting thriller reminiscent of The Hot Zone, this true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time—Lyme disease—and of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today.

In this timely book, Steven Phillips, MD, and his former patient, Sony singer-songwriter Dana Parish, reveal striking evidence that a broad range of common infections, from COVID-19 to Lyme and many others, cause a variety of autoimmune, psychiatric, and chronic conditions.

Lyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move into places they could not survive before. The first epidemic to emerge in the era of climate change, the disease infects half a million people in the US and Europe each year, and untold multitudes in Canada, China, Russia, and Australia.

From the foreword by world-leading Lyme expert Joseph J. Burrascano, Jr., MD: A detailed and thoughtful road map is sorely needed. And it is in this context that I am so pleased that we have this book by Dr. Kinderlehrer. I wish I’d had a book like this back in the day to guide me! It covers just about everything—the infections, diagnostic tests, treatments, and yes, the all-important terrain. It gives the reader an in-depth, but easily understandable, guide through the many subtleties of tick-borne illnesses.

You may not know that you have Lyme. It can mimic every disease process including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions like MS, psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety, and cause significant memory and concentration problems, mimicking early dementia.

Lyme disease infects a minimum of 300,000 people per year in the United States and millions more throughout the rest of the world. Symptoms run from mild lethargy to severe arthritis to heart disease to incapacitating mental dysfunction. Although tests have improved over the past decade, they are still not completely reliable, and antibiotics are only partially effective.

Are you searching for a natural wellness plan that is grounded in science? The Cellular Wellness Solution delivers a fresh take on the critical role our cells play in unlocking wellness and supporting optimal health. A classically-trained physician, Bill Rawls, MD, departs from the medical norm to shine a light on the unrecognized potential of herbs to energize your health through cellular healing and regeneration.

When Pamela Weintraub, a science journalist, learned that her oldest son tested positive for Lyme disease, she thought she had found an answer to the symptoms that had been plaguing her family for years―but her nightmare had just begun. Almost everything about Lyme disease turned out to be deeply controversial, from the microbe causing the infection, to the length and type of treatment and the kind of practitioner needed.

Here is an all-in-one source for patients with Lyme and other chronic illnesses to identify their own symptoms and work with their doctors for the best possible treatment outcome. It offers a direct, actionable step-by-step plan for implementing the author’s 16 MSIDS Diagnostic Map. You’ll also find the latest pertinent information on the most important scientific discoveries, emerging research on bacterial “persisters” that can survive antibiotics, and new therapies to get rid of them. It is a comprehensive guide for diagnosing, treating, and healing Lyme disease — and peeling away the layers that lead to chronic disease.

Dr. Kenneth Liegner found himself in the midst of a growing epidemic of Lyme disease, with patients presenting him with puzzling syndromes. This book is a vast array of letters, abstracts, articles, speeches, stories, lab results, and autopsy reports that span over 25 years of the Lyme Wars. The materials convey the intensity of the struggle to characterize the nature of Lyme disease. This compilation provides insights into the medical, scientific, and political dimensions of Lyme disease, capturing the challenges faced by patients and medical professionals alike in understanding and treating this complex condition.

The content of the PDF is technical in nature and delves into advanced topics related to Lyme disease, including diagnostic hints, treatment guidelines, and details about co-infections and their implications. The document is geared towards healthcare professionals or researchers, and it may not be an easy read for individuals without prior knowledge of medical terminology and concepts related to Lyme disease. Still, it is an important document as it underscores the importance of clinical diagnosis given the limitations of laboratory tests, and highlights the challenges posed by co-infections and the broader implications of mixed infections in patients.

When a child is bitten by a tick and contracts Lyme disease or another tick-borne illness, the body's immune response to the infection can sometimes mistakenly target healthy brain tissue, leading to inflammation and the onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms characteristic of PANS. Dedicated to the field of pediatric neurobehavioral health, this book serves as a guide for understanding and treating PANS and PANDAS, conditions linked to basal ganglia encephalitis. While it might be of interest to lay readers seeking in-depth information on the topic, its detailed and technical content suggests it's intended as a reference for medical professionals or those with a strong background in health and medicine. The book provides a comprehensive overview of assessment and care approaches, both conventional and naturopathic interventions, and includes case studies and clinical insights.

Tens of millions of Americans suffer from "invisible" chronic illnesses that often go undiagnosed and misunderstood. Renowned writer Meghan O’Rourke investigates these illnesses, which include autoimmune diseases and long COVID, by combining personal experiences and interviews with doctors, patients, researchers, and public health experts. She explores the history of Western perceptions of illness and highlights the neglect of certain populations, particularly women, the working class, and people of color. O’Rourke calls for a revolutionary change in how we perceive and approach these diseases, offering hope and a fresh perspective on health.

Russ Bell had a perfect life: a wife, two kids, big house, fun hobbies. But something wasn’t quite right—he started forgetting things, he got lost, he became enraged, he was harsh with the kids. And he could no longer be trusted with minor responsibilities. “Alzheimer’s,” the doctors told Russ and his wife, but that didn’t make sense. As the formerly brilliant engineer literally lost his mind and his self, the answer finally became clear—but was it in time?
