From the foreword by world-leading Lyme expert Joseph J. Burrascano, Jr., MD:
A detailed and thoughtful road map is sorely needed. And it is in this context that I am so pleased that we have this book by Dr. Kinderlehrer. I wish I'd had a book like this back in the day to guide me! It covers just about everything--the infections, diagnostic tests, treatments, and yes, the all-important terrain. It gives the reader an in-depth, but easily understandable, guide through the many subtleties of tick-borne illnesses. I am impressed with the knowledge presented and grateful for this information, which has helped so many people recover from chronic illness. To anyone touched by tick-borne diseases, be they a patient, a caregiver, loved one, or health practitioner, this book is a must-read. It will serve as a continuing reference as it gets read and reread to assimilate all it has to offer. I congratulate Dr. Kinderlehrer and thank him for this most impressive work. By far the most thorough work available on Lyme Disease Complex, this book provides patients with information that will guide them on their healing journeys, as well as supplying doctors with instruction on appropriate diagnosis and treatment approaches. Lyme Disease is a major problem. While the CDC reported 427,000 new cases in 2017 based on surveillance criteria, actual numbers based on clinical diagnosis put that number at well over one million. It is now well accepted that 10 to 20 percent of these cases go on to become a chronic illness, and these numbers don't even include those people who became chronically ill without ever witnessing a tick attachment or a bull's-eye rash. In other words, hundreds of thousands of people develop a chronic illness every year with Lyme disease. This is why Dr. Kinderlehrer's book is so critical and timely and has the potential to help millions who are victims of this epidemic. His integrative approach offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive plan available for treating and beating this disease. It discusses brand new treatments such as disulfiram, which is being hailed as a major breakthrough, as well as the use of cannabis to treat pain, anxiety, and inflammation among other developments in the field. With the staggering growth we are seeing in numbers of people afflicted, this book becomes more important every day.Author Biography
