please check the other thread about this as there are probably around 20 books recommended there including:
series books 1 and 2 on IT'S ALL IN OUR HEADS by wisc. author PJ LANGHOFF,
i also supplied another link describing them in detail what they consist of.
i paid $24 each; $48 included postage/handling too and got LARGE print $2 extra per book. well satisifed.
book 2 is 80 stories from US LYME PATIENTS INTERNATIONALLY; 12 of us from the board; all different circumstances.
i've read 10 others; in my opinion only; these were the best and looking for her 3rd book dealing with lyme controversy any day now to be published and sent!
also use your local library to read or get INTERDEPARTMENTAL LOANS from other libraries in USA; i did this on shoemaker's book.

1.) Coping With Lyme Disease, by Denise Lang and Kenneth Leigner MD, for it's overall view. It helps make sense of what's going on in Lymeland. Essential!
2.) One of PJ Langhoff's books: Book 1, "It's All In Your Head," is about neuropsychiatrict Lyme with stories by patients.
Or Book 2, "It's All In Your Head; Around The World In 80 patient stories," written by patients themselves.
Certainly, essential is: www.ilads.org, go to left menu, click "Treatment Guidelines," that will take you to Dr. Burrascano's 33 pages of tips for 2005.

I like Healing Lyme by Buhner, it was the first book that gave me hope. It explains Lyme and why he recommends the protocal. It has extensive descriptions of the herbs in his protocal and what they do.
My llnd recommended I read Lyme disease and modern Chinese Medicine by Qingcai Zhnng and Yale Zhang. He thought it was the best.
