Product Description
With millions around the world infected—and millions more at risk—Lyme and tick-related diseases are now today's fastest growing infectious diseases. Yet, even as the number of Lyme disease sufferers continues to climb and other dangerous tick-borne disorders emerge, diagnosis remains elusive, often hampering chances of early treatment. Now, this complete guide tells you everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family from the pain of Lyme disease, including expert advice on: - Recognizing the symptoms of Lyme disease
- Finding the best medical treatment
- Avoiding disease-carrying ticks
- Accessing online information on vaccines, repellents, and the latest research
- Finding self-help and support organizations, state medical complaint boards, products, and related services
Amazon.com Review
Lyme disease is so difficult to detect that the average sufferer sees five physicians before the disease is properly diagnosed. Thirty-five percent of Lyme disease patients suffer permanent bodily damage, and 17 percent lose their jobs. Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner fared even worse than that: she contracted the disease while pregnant (it was misdiagnosed as arthritis), and passed it on to her unborn child, who died when he was 6. She became an expert on ticks and the diseases they spread, started the Lyme Disease Foundation, and compiled all her knowledge into this book, a handy guide for anyone living in tick-infested areas.

 Everything You Need to Know About Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Disorders, 2nd Edition, 2007-04-15
This intriguing book provides an in-depth look at Lyme disease; what it is, where it is found, how to diagnose and prevent it, and finally, how to treat it.
The information on ticks, where they are found, and the suggestions on how to prevent Lyme and treat the illness through antibiotics is extensive, interesting and useful.
However, the author describes pharmaceutical antibiotics as being the only viable option for treating Lyme Disease, when in fact there exist a multitude of other therapies for combatting the illness, some of which can be more effective than antibiotics. These include Rife machines, salt/C, herbal antibiotics, Immune Response Training, and homeopathy.

Accurate and even-handed. I only give four stars because I was hoping for more in-depth scientific explaination.
Very informative, 2006-07-06
...but will someone please tell me where "ticks" are mentioned in the Bible? She mentions this in the book. Thanks!!!
A MUST BUY for ALL, 2004-06-10
This is an excellent overview of the disease with detail a doctor or interest patient would want to know. It handles information with non-alarmist views and scientific accuracy.Even better is the updated new version that includes data on other tick-borne diseases. The writing shows respect for patients and the medical community. I really like the information that addresses the questions about possible Lyme and other diseases in the midwest and other areas that are not considered to have lyme disease.
Yep. This is the book you want., 2004-02-03
Fantastic book, and clearly the best that I read during my recovery from LD. Thorough, level-headed, wonderful.
