Product Description

Product Description

Pamela Weintraub paints a nuanced picture of the intense controversy and crippling uncertainty surrounding Lyme disease and sheds light on one of the angriest medical disputes raging today. She also reveals her personal odyssey through the land of Lyme after she, her husband and their two sons became seriously ill with the disease beginning in the 1990s.From the microbe causing the infection and the definition of the disease, to the length and type of treatment and the kind of practitioner needed, Lyme is a hotbed of contention. With a CDC-estimated 200,000-plus new cases of Lyme disease a year, it has surpassed both AIDS and TB as the fastest-spreading infectious disease in the U.S. Yet alarmingly, in many cases, because the disease often eludes blood tests and not all patients exhibit the classic "bulls-eye" rash and swollen joints, doctors are woefully unable or unwilling to diagnose Lyme. When that happens, once-treatable infections become chronic, inexorably disseminating to cause disabling conditions that may never be cured.The most comprehensive book ever written about the past, present and future of Lyme disease, this exposes the ticking clock of a raging epidemic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ , 18 Nov 2008
By C. Gunn "Claire" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is just no doubt; if you have any connection to or interest in Lyme Disease you must read this book.
I recommend reading reviews on amazon.com from a largely US readership; they say what I would if I felt eloquent enough ! The clarification Pamela Weintraub gives on the nature of this bacteria , the impact it can have on human lives and the varying opinions regarding treatment is outstanding. Pamela Weintraub is a scientific journalist and her work is both beautifully written, impossible to put down in fact, and carefully referenced. Although this book charts the science and politics of Lyme Disease in the USA , the global nature of scientific research , of medical and pharmaceutical big business makes it pertinent to us all. I find it hard to express how strongly this book has affected me: I feel informed of ongoing research into Lyme right up to Spring 2008 (from an allopathic and traditional viewpoint only, no alternative approaches considered in this book) ; I feel slightly wiser and thoroughly concerned about how aspects of the human world we live in work. Both horrified and hopeful. Enough of my attempt. Read the reviews on amazon.com, read the book.
