From one of the country's foremost doctors comes a ground-breaking book about diagnosing, treating and healing Lyme, and peeling away the layers that lead to chronic disease.You may not know that you have Lyme. It can mimic every disease process including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions like MS, psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety, and cause significant memory and concentration problems, mimicking early dementia. It is called the "Great Imitator," and inaccurate testing-combined with a fierce, ongoing debate that questions chronic infection-makes it difficult for sufferers to find effective care.When Dr. Richard Horowitz moved to the Hudson Valley over two decades ago to start his own medical practice, he had no idea that he was jumping into a hotbed of Lyme disease. He would soon realize that many of the chronic disease diagnoses people were receiving were also the result of Lyme-and he would discover how once-treatable infections, in the absence of timely intervention, could cause disabling conditions. In a field where the number of cases is growing exponentially around the world and answers remain elusive, Dr. Horowitz has treated over 12,000 patients and made extraordinary progress. His plan represents a crucial paradigm shift, without which the suffering will continue.In this book, Dr. Horowitz:- Breaks new ground with a 16 Point Differential Diagnostic Map, the basis for his revolutionary Lyme treatment plan, and an overarching approach to treating all chronic illness.- Introduces MSIDS, or Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome, a new lens on chronic illness that may prove to be an important missing link.- Covers in detail Lyme's leading symptoms and co-infections, including immune dysfunction, sleep disorders, chronic pain and neurodegenerative disorders - providing a unique functional and integrative health care model, based on the most up-to-date scientific research, for physicians and health care providers to effectively treat Lyme and other chronic illnesses.Cutting through the frustration, misinformation and endless questions, Dr. Horowitz's enlightening story of medical discovery, science and politics is an all-in-one source for patients of chronic illness to identify their own symptoms and work with their doctors for the best possible treatment outcome.

Yet another book that fails to acknowledge the high treatment failure rate for patients with advanced Lyme disease who are treated using the very methods described in this book. I am looking at the section where the author wrote: "Her [the patient's] inflammation was a red flag, so I decided to send a cytokine panel to LabCorp to eveluate her for other markers of inflammation. Her TNF-alpha came back within normal limits, but her IL-6 returned extremely elevated." But such testing reveals nothing about intra-CNS inflammation, and the patient's TNF-alpha levels within the CNS could have (and probably were) extremely elevated. Thus, using inherently inaccurate lab tests to measure inflammation plays an important role in the treatment approach advocated in this book. Perhaps I've missed something, but all I see in this book are claims of success, and no acknowledgement that many patients ( very likely) deteriorated as a result of repeated Herxheimer reactions, which exacerbate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress, and also exacerbate immune system dysregulation. Aggressive antimicrobial therapy and the ineffective prophylactic measures for Herx-like reactions that are described in the book utterly destroyed my health due to excessive herxing. I had probably been infected for 28 years when diagnosed and treated. I was actually in remission for nearly two years before treatment. As a result of the kind of treatment described in this book, I'm disabled and have been struggling to survive. And I know of many people who have had the same experience. But reading this book, an unsuspecting patient is led to believe that "everything will be okay," as stated in the preface. The treatment success rate for this disease complex is zero percent, if success is defined as cure. Using iv glutathione (one of the anti-inflammatory protocols used by the author) provides only short-term relief, probably because 20% of it is metabolized as extracellular glutamate, which causes excitotoxicity. And curcumin only suppresses quinoliic acid in vitro; it is completely ineffective at reducing elevated quinolinic acid levels within the central nervous system. Yet the author advocates its use for this purpose. Many patients with advanced Lyme disease end up in worse shape after being subjected to aggressive antimicrobial treatment. Some patients do improve, but those are the ONLY patients described in this book. So the book provides a an extremely skewed picture. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the IDSA is a mafia. But many people who oppose the IDSA have put on blinders, and fail to convey the potential and often high risks of aggressive antimicrobial treatment to patients. The claim in this book "that with each protocol we were seeing a 70% success rate, and 30% were relapsing" is truly irresponsible. The author is claiming he can cure a disease that is incurable (as acknowledged to me by email from Drs. Burrascano,. Liegner, etc.). Yes, some people will respond to say they were cured. Just like Pam Weintraub thought she was cured when she wrote the first edition of Cure Unknown. And they will discover afterwards that they will eventually relapse. If the book honestly stated that symptoms can be managed using these methods in only a very small percentage of patients with advanced, long-term (20+ years of infection) Lyme disease, that would be a good start at providing informed consent. The author is nowhere close to solving the mystery of Lyme and chronic disease. He can probably alleviate the symptoms of a majority of people who have been infected for five years or so, and a small minority of people infected for longer than roughly 15 years. But he can cure nobody except perhaps somebody who had just been bitten by a tick.
