What book/s would you recommend re: lyme and TBD as must reads?

I'm reading Singleton's book right now and it's very good! Lots of good, clear explanations and information. "The Lyme Disease Solution." He has/had Lyme and knows what he's talking about. Plus, I ordered it from his website and he signed it!

I agree. Great book. He makes the cure sound way too easy based on what you read here. it's like patient took this...boom better in 3 months...problems gone forever. Yeah sure.
The content is wonderful though. I use it for reference often.

Cure Unknown by Pamela Weintrub and also to get the patient's perspective, PJ Langhoff's "It's All In Your Head".

plus PJ LANGHOFF'S, THE BAKER'S DOZEN...lunatic fringe; junk science....
it's ALL about the IDSA, infectious drs., with over 1000 links of REFUTTING evidence against them!!
she's crammed as much as possible into 535 plus pages; small print !!! you won't want to put it down...riveting.
it's the last of her 3 books on lyme, 2 on IT'S ALL IN YORU HEAD, book 2 is 80 patients stories including mine, i think lisas, wisc. mike, others here & internationallly.
reading pam's cure unknown right now too.
go to LDA site; click icon on left side and go to their book selection ... i bought 2 of theirs: young kids one and SCIENCE/LAWS/POLITICS...i learned a lot in laws/politics one before pj's series came out.
read others too, but feel the ones mentioned above were the most informative for me.
tried reading mold book but it was way beyond me.
haven't seen singleton's yet, but someday....

Thanks guys. I read cure unknown and loved it. I'm making a new list of summer reading.

I use Dr. Singleton's book "The Lyme Disease Solution" for reference. I also like Pamela Weintrub's book "Cure Unknown".
I bought Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner's book "Everything You Need to Know About Lyme Disease and Other Tick Borne Diseases". The first part of the book was excellent. It explained the meaning of each band and other interesting scientific things in a way I could understand. About half-way through the book, though I had to part company with her. I disagreed with some things she stated.
Overall, to me, it is a book worth owning just for the first section.

karen's book i checked out at local library as well as some older ones.
i'm very picky about where i want to spend my $$ on lyme books.

i think it was call "Just Fine" it was the first book i read after getting diagnosed, and it hit home.
