Product Description Lyme disease has become the fastest-growing infectious disease transmitted by ticks (or other vectors) in the United States, but still remains a condition that is frequently misunderstood, overlooked, and misdiagnosed. Written by a leading practitioner of Lyme-aware medicine, this comprehensive guide will reveal to you the facts about this very serious disease - symptoms of which can mimic cardiac, neurological, and rheumatoid conditions - and will tell you what you need to know about the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease.

Helps to support a positive attitude December 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been an RN for 35 years and haven't felt really well for the past 20 years. I sought the advice of a multitude of physicians and specialists only to finally somehow be lead to an integrative physician, who happens to be a LLMD, who took the time to read my history, look at past test results and listen to the many strange and everchanging multi-system problems I have had. He then ordered proper testing. I have late stage Lyme Disease. As an RN I know only too well the closed mindedness of the mainstream medical profession. I was labeled a "difficult" patient because I questioned and chose to disagree with the assessment that my illness was emotionally based.
This book reinforces my decision to use mostly alternative methods on the recommendation of my LLMD and also reinforces the fact that antibiotics are usually necessary. The anti inflammatory diet does really help to lessen the pain this disease can cause. When you follow it and feel much better the "sacrifice" of giving up sugars, sweets, caffeine,etc is really worth the effort.
The book doesn't read like a death sentence and made me feel that I have some control over how this disease progresses.
Most comprehensive useful lyme resource I've seen... November 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Lyme Disease Solution Singleton has an ability to breakdown complex pieces of information into understandable parts, bringing together his experience as a lyme patient with medical and wholistic understandings. He includes the reactions to be expected with particular courses of antibiotic treatment, supplements to support healing, and a four stage diet plan. Helpful for both lyme patients and their caregivers.
lyme disease October 18, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Very good general book for someone just beginning to learn about lyme. Easy to read and has much good information that most doctor's are not even aware of.
The Best of the best! October 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If I were to recommend a single book with all of the informtion one would need to know about Lyme disease and related co-infections, this would be it. It is hands down the most concise yet comprehensive reference out there for lyme patients today. Dr. Singleton's book is beautifully written, informative, and infused with such a positive and caring tone, that my family and I find reading it to be as emotionally uplifting as it is medically therapeutic in its treatment suggestions. I am especially impressed by his willingness to utilize the best of both traditional and integrative medicine, always offered in combination with plenty of practical common sense. In addition, Dr. Singleton addresses other, more commonly overlooked aspects of this illness, including the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of a patient suffering from what can be a very debilitating disease. Every practicing physician treating lyme disease today could also benefit greatly from this book.
Up-to-date; comprehensive; easy to read; highly recommended! October 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dr. Singleton's new book is wonderful. If you have suffered with Lyme like I have, you know how frustrating it can be to just not feel good and not know what to do to feel better. Plain and simple: if you read this book and really digest what's in it, it will change the way you think about treating your Lyme disease as well as just how to feel better and live better. I bought a copy for my library and for my family doctor. It is very thorough, easy to read, and well worth the investment, for sure!
