Lyme Disease is Very Controversial - Why?

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection carried by ticks. Humans can be infected by a tick bite. The disease is a growing epidemic, particularly in North America, Europe and debatably Australia.

Since its discovery in Lyme, Connecticut in 1982 by Willy Burgdorfer, Lyme disease has become the number one tick borne infection in North America but has been the subject of much controversy and debate in the medical world.

This controversy mainly revolves around the accepted diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, and also the possible existence of chronic Lyme disease. Chronic Lyme disease has caused a fundamental divide between doctors and scientists; (i) those who believe it exists and (ii) those who believe it is a convenient diagnosis for a group of symptoms with no other medical explanation

I believe that anyone who thinks that they have been exposed to Lyme disease through a tick bite, or a person who has been diagnosed with Lyme disease, or a person who thinks they may have chronic Lyme disease has the right to know that there are two conflicting medical opinions about the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease and whether or not long-term chronic Lyme disease even exists.

It is important for these patients to consider the two points of view so that they can make a considered decision about the type of treatment on offer and which is the best treatment plan for them. find out all you need to know from this book - " What Is Lyme Disease?"




This book  has been written by a microbiologist and educator and puts the facts clearly and succinctly. The book presents the two conflicting points of view presented by: IDSA the Infectious Diseases Society of America and also ILADS, The International Lyme and Associated Disease Society. In this book you will:

·         Understand what causes Lyme Disease
·         How it is Transmitted
·         The life cycle of the tick
·         What the symptoms are
·         How it is diagnosed
·         How it is treated – the two opposing regimens

This book is not intended to be medical advice for self-diagnoses or treatment, and if you think you may have been exposed to Lyme disease or if you have symptoms which resemble Lyme disease it is critical you seek advice from an experienced medical practitioner with a history of diagnosing and treating Lyme disease. There are clearly two schools of thought about the transmission, symptoms and treatment of Lyme disease.

A must read to get clarity on this very controversial topic.  BUY NOW to ensure you and your family and friends are fully informed about Lyme disease.
