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.

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.

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

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.

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.
