5.0 out of 5 stars The absolute Lyme book to get!!!, March 6, 2009

By	Chicagolyme (Illinois) - See all my reviews

The Bakers Dozen and the Lunatic Fringe is worth EVERY penny and more!!!!! This is the book every Lyme patient or friend of Lyme patients have been waiting for. The information and research in this book is astounding!!! So much more than what you find in other books. Look at the pictures on page 52 and tell me that mosquitoes can't transmit this. Read through chapter 9 to see WHY 1,000's of 1,000's of people are been misdiagnosed with current blood tests. Every chapter has golden nuggets.

This is THE Lyme book to get to understand this horrible illness. One that myself and my family have been fighting for years. And yes, we also have a library of Lyme books in our house. Thank you SO much PJ Langoff for writing this incredibly comprehensive book. I am recommending it to everyone!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL RESEARCHED BOOK, February 27, 2009

By	Witch Mark (USA) - See all my reviews

I have been waiting for this book to come out-and I am not disappointed! The years of careful research are reflected in a well written book that presents the research and politics of Lyme disease from the unique view held by a Lyme patient.I particularly recommend the section from pages 398 to 408 for a perspective on the internet harassment of Lyme activists. This book is an interesting read as well as an important addition to my ever enlarging Lyme reference library. My only quibble is a minor one-consider an index for the next edition.
