Product Description

Product Description

Keep your family safe from tick–borne infections

With millions around the world infected–and millions more at risk–Lyme and other tick–related disorders are today′s fastest–growing infectious diseases. And while there has been much progress in combating these illnesses, we are a long way from eliminating them. Early treatment is crucial–and there′s no better way to get informed and be prepared to deal with these diseases than to read this book.

This comprehensive guide tells you everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family from the pain of Lyme, including vital information about the new Lyme disease vaccines. Written by Lyme disease pioneer Karen Vanderhoof–Forschner–cofounder of the Lyme Disease Foundation and a Lyme sufferer herself–this updated and expanded edition provides the latest on the multiple diseases that can be transmitted in a single tick bite and the symptoms that indicate you′ve been infected. In easy–to–understand language, the author discusses the often controversial issues of diagnosis and treatment of Lyme while reviewing the other tick–borne diseases in North America, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, tularemia, the emerging ehrlichioses, and some that are considered potential biowarfare agents. She offers expert advice on:
∗ Protecting yourself from disease–carrying ticks–and what to do if you find one on your skin
∗ Obtaining the best medical treatment
∗ Accessing online information on vaccines, repellents, and the latest research
∗ Finding self–help and support organizations, state medical complaint boards, products, and related services
∗ Starting a school or business prevention program

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly the most comprehensive book on Lyme disease., 24 Jul 1999
By A Customer
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.
