Thirteen Lyme-literate health care practitioners reveal their treatment strategies for chronic Lyme disease in new book.

Denver, Colorado—August, 2009. A new book, Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment: Thirteen Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners Share Their Healing Strategies, provides people with Lyme disease and their physicians with current, cutting-edge information on the treatment of chronic Lyme disease and the corollary conditions that it causes.
It is a comprehensive resource, written from the perspective of thirteen Lyme disease experts, including eight Lyme-literate medical doctors (MD’s), two naturopathic doctors (ND’s), a “heilpraktiker” (or healing practitioner, as the German title translates into English) and one chiropractor and nutritionist. The training and education of the experts encompasses a broad range of disciplines, but most use a combination of allopathic, naturopathic, complementary and alternative medicine in their practices. Whatever their background, however, all are experienced in treating chronic Lyme disease.

The book includes each practitioner’s anti-microbial and detoxification protocols, as well as their recommended supportive treatments for the body. It also provides their perspectives on the challenges and roadblocks to healing.

According to the CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Lyme disease is the fastest-growing infectious disease in the US, with more than 20,000 new cases reported each year. The CDC estimates, however, that only one in ten cases is reported, which means that there could be at least 200,000 new cases each year, and perhaps even many more than that.

Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics when - and if - it is caught early, while the Lyme spirochetes are still in the patient’s bloodstream and can be reached by antibiotics. If the disease goes undiagnosed, the spirochetes, (which are related to those that cause syphilis), can infiltrate the non-blood areas of the body, such as the nervous system, brain, heart, joints, and cartilage. The disease then becomes a multi-symptom, multi-system illness that wreaks havoc upon nearly all of the patient’s tissues and organs.

Once this happens, Lyme disease becomes chronic and difficult to diagnose. It may masquerade as a variety of other illnesses. Many physicians do not know how to effectively treat it. It devastates nearly every aspect of a person’s existence. ILADS, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, estimates that most chronic Lyme disease sufferers experience a level of disability equivalent to that of a person who has suffered from a recent heart attack. As chronicled in the recently released documentary, "Under Our Skin: There's No Medicine For Someone Like You," those with chronic Lyme experience so much neurological and cognitive dysfunction that they end up losing their jobs, homes, mobility, and, in some cases, their lives.

For those who have been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease or who haven’t received adequate treatment help through the means that have been available to them, Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment provides a comprehensive variety of effective, in-depth solutions. For the practitioner, it provides cutting-edge information on treatments that has not been published elsewhere.

The information in this book was obtained through interviews with the following thirteen health care practitioners:

Steve Harris, MD
Steven Bock, MD
Susan Marra, ND, MS
Ginger Savely, DNP
Lee Cowden, MD, MD (H)
Ingo Woitzel, MD
Ronald Whitmont, MD
Deborah Metzger, MD, PhD
Pete Muran, MD, MBA
Nicola McFadzean, ND
Marlene Kunold, “Heilpraktiker” (Healing Practitioner, Germany)
Elizabeth Hesse-Sheehan, DC, CCN
Jeffrey Morrison, MD

These practitioners were chosen on the basis of their expertise and experience in treating chronic Lyme disease. After the interviews, Ms. Strasheim wrote the book’s chapters, collaborating with the practitioners in the editing process, to make sure that all of the information from the interviews was accurately represented. Each chapter is devoted to the treatment approach of a particular practitioner, and covers, to a greater or lesser degree, the following:

1) Anti-microbial treatments for Lyme disease and associated infections, including antibiotics, herbs, homeopathic remedies, plant stem cells and biophotons

2) Information on how to support the body’s systems, which is an integral component to healing from chronic Lyme disease. Particular attention is given to the immune, endocrine, neurological, digestive and musculoskeletal systems

3) Treatments for symptomatic relief. Solutions for fatigue, pain, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia are offered, as well as others

4) Detoxifying Lyme biotoxins, mold, candida, heavy metals and other environmental toxins

5) Treating food and environmental allergies

6) Lifestyle and dietary recommendations for faster healing

7) Strategies for healing emotional trauma

8) Patient and practitioner challenges to healing

9) Factors that influence healing

10) Suggestions for how family and friends can help the sick

11) Which anti-microbial treatments work and which don’t

12) How to discern whether Lyme disease is primary in patients’ overall symptom picture

The Author

Insights Into Lyme Disease was written by Connie Strasheim, a Lyme disease sufferer and health care researcher. She is the author of The Lyme Disease Survival Guide: Physical, Lifestyle and Emotional Strategies for Healing, a book that describes Lyme disease treatment strategies, as well as practical solutions for coping with the difficulties of chronic illness. Ms. Strasheim wrote Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment when she realized that more information on how to treat chronic Lyme was sorely needed from the experts who treat Lyme patients. Prior to becoming ill from chronic Lyme disease, Ms. Strasheim worked as a Spanish instructor, medical interpreter and flight attendant. Ms. Strasheim lives in Denver, Colorado and is available for phone, on-line, and in-person interviews.

Availability

The book will retail for USD $39.95 and will be available via Ms. Strasheim’s blog at: http://www.lymebytes.blogspot.com and online book retailers in early to mid-September, 2009. It is published by BioMed Publishing Group.

Now Available! "Healing Chronic Illness: By His Spirit, Through His Resources"

Early this year, I took a bit of a detour in writing and blogging about Lyme disease, and instead focused my energies upon a new topic-supernatural and spiritual healing. As I began writing a book on this subject, a little voice in my head protested, "Who do you think you are? Who died and made you an authority on this kind of healing?" After all, I'm not a priest. I'm not a saint. I don't have all my ducks in a row. I haven't healed thousands of people supernaturally, but... after awhile, I realized that I was definitely led to do this.

Because, in my eight-year desperate pursuit of God, I have been led to a definitive knowledge of the reality that God heals-in body, mind and spirit- both through medicine and supernaturally. This pursuit has taken me through dozens of books on faith and mind-body healing, the Bible, as well as to churches, conferences and workshops on healing, across the United States and even overseas. It is a work that has been borne out of years of suffering, countless hours of face-to-the carpet prayers, and endless days and nights studying and learning about healing and the living, loving God who has become as real to me as my right hand.

It may be the most important book that I have written so far. It may be the most important book I ever write, although I suspect that, as long as I continue to pursue God, the revelation knowledge that I receive about Him will only increase, leading to perhaps even greater works down the road.

For the time being, I believe that God will use this one to change lives, and to bring healing and hope to those who thus far have not had much. I believe it will be a source of light to those who have been frustrated by medicine, or who have been on a treatment treadmill for years and experienced little progress in their healing.

Because supernatural, spiritual and faith healing are controversial subjects, I suspect that it will also draw criticism. It's a radical departure from the medical writing that I have done up until now, and yet my knowledge of medicine adds a profound, insightful and balanced dimension to the book that I believe many will appreciate.

It's not an easy book for me to put out there. My guts are splayed about its pages but God somehow convinced me that it would be the only way to pack a powerful punch into its messages. Revealing my struggles was a necessary evil in order to bring about an even more vital good to a sad, scared, hopeless humanity and a group of people struggling to survive one of the most insidious diseases we face today-Lyme disease.

But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself:
