Product Description

"Karen awoke the consciousness of the world to a hidden epidemic. Her struggle to save her family and volunteer leadership of the Lyme Disease Foundation has made her an expert in all aspects of this illness."––Willy Burgdorfer, PhD, MD, Discoverer of the Lyme disease virus

Ever since Lyme disease was first brought to public attention in the 1970s, cases have been found in nearly every state. Today, an estimated 20 million Americans are infected, and millions more are in danger. Yet, even as the number of Lyme disease sufferers continues to climb and other dangerous tick–borne disorders emerge, the disease remains an elusive diagnosis, hampering chances of early treatment.

This definitive guide by the founder of the Lyme Disease Foundation will show readers how to recognize the symptoms of Lyme disease, how to get the best medical treatment, and how to avoid disease–carrying ticks. It also includes a resource directory of places to turn in cyberspace for the latest developments in repellents, vaccines, and the search for a cure.

Includes an extensive resource list of places to go for additional help
Reveals which repellents really work
Author is the leading national spokesperson on Lyme disease; she has testified before Congress, appeared on "20/20", "NOVA", "Nightline", "Today", and "Geraldo" and has been interviewed by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, and Family Circle
Time magazine called the Lyme Disease Foundation′s effort the "most successful awareness campaign" of any health organization

KAREN VANDERHOOF–FORSCHNER (Tolland, Connecticut) is directly responsible for the significant increase in the international effort to find solutions to the problem of Lyme disease. In honor of her extraordinary volunteer work, she has been named a Woman of the Year, for her outstanding contribution in the area of health, by Family Circle and The Points of Light Foundation, a Woman of Worth by L′Oreal, and a Woman of the Year by the Connecticut Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary.

From the Back Cover

With millions around the world infected—and millions more at risk—Lyme and tick–related diseases are now today′s fastest growing infectious diseases. Yet, even as the number of Lyme disease sufferers continues to climb and other dangerous tick–borne disorders emerge, diagnosis remains elusive, often hampering chances of early treatment. Now, this complete guide tells you everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family from the pain of Lyme disease, including expert advice on:

Recognizing the symptoms of Lyme disease
Finding the best medical treatment
Avoiding disease–carrying ticks
Accessing online information on vaccines, repellents, and the latest research

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book written about Lyme disease., 22 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Everything You Need to Know About Lyme Disease, by Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner, is by far the best book written on the subject, especially for people lacking an extensive medical terminology vocabulary. The book is also a good starting point for the curious clinician wishing to find acurate information on Lyme disease. Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner has painted a very clear, conscise picture of what Lyme disease and its manifestations are. The book includes a very well referenced timeline of the disease starting in Europe in 1883. After reading this book, the reader will realize that recognition and discovery are two very different words and, no matter how many credentials a doctor may have, he can easily miss this diagnosis if he does not have the facts about Lyme disease. A doctor is only as good as the information he has. I feel the book gives the reader, doctor or patient, a very good acccount of Lyme disease and its complications. Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner has gone the extra mile and provided the reader with a wealth of references . I only wish I could give the book six stars on a five star system. I would like to thank Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner for writing this book . The information it contains is invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and readable up-to-date resource on Lyme disease, 7 Aug 1999

By A Customer

Information presented in this book is essential for anyone (public or medical professional)who wants to know the latest on Lyme disease. Factual information, presented in an understandable format that never underestimates the reader's intelligence and common sense, is presented by one of the true heroes in the Lyme disease saga. Mrs. Vanderhoof-Forschner's personal experience is the driving force behind this well-executed, fact-filled, medically-sound and resource-filled book. This is a must for anyone serious about this complex disease and a handy reference guide for further information.

Rita L. Stanley, Ph.D.

Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner has taken a very complex topic and clearly explained all of the intricacies of ticks, the bacteria, the symptoms and the treatment of a rapidly expanding health threat. She does a masterful job of presenting factual balanced information in a non-threatening manner.Ms. Vanderhoof-Forschner's dedication to overcoming this disease is evident in the quality of her research and her devotion to educating a world that was unaware.Everyone intersted in taking control of their healthcare should buy this book for their healthcare library.
