Pretty expensive. You can get it for kindle for a little less. But seems like a wealth of info. Nothing new, but geared mostly towards primary care physicians wanting to know more. Which I think is a great strategy. But also geared to patients... ( a little weird in that she goes back and forth). But great details on meds and what and how they kill... I'm only half way through.. So not sure how she deals with alternatives yet.
Author is a dr, a researcher, spent time working for drug companies, and battled the frustration we all face having a son with Lyme and babs.
One interesting thing she does is weigh the the dangers of meds against the results ( and sheds light on the process of black box warnings)
Has anyone read this? I'm curious what y'all think?
Just wanted to add you can get the hard copy here for half price. (I have no affiliation just think it's a worthwhile book)

I know Bea S. posted about this book admiringly (hope she is doing well, God bless her, so smart)
It sounds like a winner, for sure- fortunately, our LLMD is already experienced and informed about antibiotics, and combinations for TBI's,
and I'm just plain tuckered out on reading Lyme books- have read quite a few, which is certainly important for a Lyme patient or caregiver to get educated.
P.S. If you finish it and find a magic secret or something new, let us know!
