What are some good books to look into regarding Lyme disease that either you have read or your LLMD's have recommended? Id do a search on here for the info, but I honestly don't have the stamina right now.

The Widening Circle is a good history of the identification and struggle of validating Lyme Disease as a disease in Lyme Ct.

Coping With Lyme Disease was great also. Very informative. Good luck.

There are also some listed in the BOOKS section on this site.

Scott, I have the "Guess What Came to Dinner" book about parasites, and it is enlightening. I am treating for parasites right now.

Are you trying that "Healing Lyme" protocol? Just curious. I just got the book recently, and started on the core protocol. We will see how it goes.

Thanks.

For the DVD from the Hope to Heal conference, May 2005 here's the link:

But I don't think they're available yet.

Posted by Lyddie on :

"Biography of a Germ" is a good book, about the Bb (Lyme) bacteria. Not relevant to treatment, but thought-provoking.

Posted by cbb (Member # 788) on :

The two books that I think have helped me the most are:
"Everything You Need To Know About Lyme Disease"
"Coping with Lyme Disease"

They have a good overall view of Lyme.
I don't consider them a "one time read".
I continue to refer to them often.

Posted by SForsgren (Member # 7686) on :

I am doing lots of different things from several books, doctors, research, etc.

I haven't quite figured out my full regimen yet but am working on it.
