Kay, please share this HOT off the press info with those in your lyme circle of friends, etc! BIG thanks! Betty Gordon, Ames, Iowa lyme activist ***********
Mike, I too will be in ONE of the 2 books; 1st story, but I don't know which one either!
PJ, as time permits, could you send us an email to those who sent you our stories so we know which one to look for and buy! I KNOW, all 3 will be riveting! I couldn't put your 1st book about your life down!! nail-biting! Also, especially for those who can afford to buy only 1 of your series. Thanks PJ for ALL your efforts in spite of ALL your own court trial hearings going on!!
FOLKS, please tell your PUBLIC LIBRARIES about these upcoming books. ASK THEM TO BUY THEM FOR YOUR LIBRARIES!
Give your WISH list to family/friends of what they can buy you! *****************
Wed, 2 Jan 2008 20:20:10 -0600 from Mike, NP40
3**New lyme books from PJ Langhoff of WI's Lyme League.
My son Jesse has a brief story in one of the books as well. {Not sure which one ?} PJ ?
Dr's Jemsek and Burrascanno provide the forewords for the books.
I guess I have my answer as to why PJ has been a little lax in responding to my e-mails of late. She acts like she's busy or something ! What ? Only two books at a time ! ? Come on, let's pick up the pace ! -Mike, NP40 *****************************

An honest, revealing collection of information which touches on every aspect of Lyme disease, and reveals also that transmission occurs sexually, in utero, via breastfeeding, and blood and organ donation !

**********

A portion of the proceeds of these books are being donated to partnering charities, and to a fund established in the name of Ryan Guerin, a deceased North Carolina Lyme patient--the latter to be utilized to help defray the costs of diagnostic testing for new Lyme patients who cannot afford them .
Please help support these worthwhile books...many people have contributed their stories in the hopes that their collective stories may benefit many new Lyme patients and their families. Best,

quote:Originally posted by cave76: betty ---- is there a reason for the 'thumbs down' icon for this?
I thought you were dissing the book!
I'm confused by that too. You're not, are you?
I think maybe it's the charitable distributions that are getting the thumbs down?
As for Amazon.com, the link to the left on here gives the funds to the Lyme Disease Network. Amazon.com really has some racquet going , they get advertising all over the place just for making some tiny charitible contributions. Brilliant marketing.
You know, I noticed with Dr.S's Babesia books, you can buy them cheaper from him & make your own charitable contributions elsewhere.
I also was wondering, if you disable a cookie from Amazon.com, does the contribution register or do they just keep the funds? Does anyone know how that works?
Thanks in advance.

I'M DEFINITELY ALL FOR PJ'S EXCEPTIONAL BOOKS! ********************************************
She also told me privately that her 3rd book will be very CONTROVERSIAL! wouldn't give me any hints other than that! She is an exceptional researcher!!
I have NO KNOWLEDGE on amazone icon!!
I'd still use the site KAY LYON gave so 4% goes for EACH BOOK ORDERED there.
we do NOT have any info if the lymenet amazone site HAS 4% GOING TO DR. JONES OR NOT!!

TO ALL,
I got my copy of MY story being in the book with 80 PATIENT lyme stories yesterday.
BOY AM I IMPRESSED! I got the large size for my low vision eyes, and it's so easy to read; enjoy. One heavy book!
PJ, in case you stop by here to read of my posting about your 3 books, I'm so glad I submitted my story to you.
My story is shown on page 234 !! Boy is that easy to remember!!
I looked at index of folks and recognized 12 names only.
LYMEBLUE, would you send me a PM, and tell me which page your story starts on?
ANY OTHER MEMBERS with their stories in book 1 or 2? please send me a PM so I can read your story using my lymenet knowledge of you to picture you as I read your story...big thanks! *********************************************
I read NP40/Mike's son's story and Lisa from Wisc.
Also ARIZONA VET story; Daise, is that you? Well done, very detailed in your 21 pages. If it's not you; it ought to be!!
So I'll be starting to read a little each night. Only 1 book came and not book 1 of 2 series; thank goodness. It will take me awhile to get thru 475 pages!
I highly recommend many of you look into getting your local libraiest to buy her 3 books!
ONE VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER HERE! I love the book's cover by an 8 yr. old boy who painted it!
