Beating Lyme Disease: Using Alternative Medicine and God-Designed Living [Hardcover]

David A. Jernigan (Author), Sara Koch Jernigan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2004

This book is written not to simply provide the obvious facts concerning Lyme disease, but to provide possible solutions for maximizing the integrity of the body, mind, and spirit. The myth is made clear in this book that true health and healing does not come from a bottle. True health and healing is a function of the human organism. If one must continue to take any medicine forever in order to feel normal then it is obvious that the medicine in not correcting anything, and you will be a slave to the medicine forever. Another myth revealed in this book is the common misconception that "I will be well when my doctor kills all of these bacteria."

This book represents the latest in our scientific advancements, such as the new understanding of how microbes communicate with each other in order to survive attacks from antibiotics; how bacteria are now know to mutate, becoming antibiotic-resistant sometimes potentially within the first 20 minutes of taking the medicine. This book presents the most advanced understanding of how every tissue in the body is indeed a liquid crystal, and how this crystalline matrix is utilized by microbes to communicate across great distances in the body. It goes on to provide the latest understanding of how healing and microbial control is maintained in the body, based upon this crystalline matrix understanding of the human body.

This book has the potential to change the way medicine is practiced. It is written in such a way that is easy to understand, knowing that people with chronic Lyme disease may have more difficulty understanding what they read.

This is a "How To" book that every doctor and Lyme sufferer will find something that will change their life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good information, but reader beware!, November 2, 2005

This review is from: Beating Lyme Disease: Using Alternative Medicine and God-Designed Living (Hardcover)

As a Christian I found the title interesting and was also drawn to this book because of my interest in alternative medicine. Before reading this book, I had pretty much decided that "beating" Lyme was very difficult, if not impossible, so anything that proposed a way of beating this disease aroused my interest. There is a lot of good information in this book, so I do recommend it. There is a big warning flag, and a big red flag. The warning flag is that the author is selling his own brand of nutraceuticals. This always makes me suspect. To be fair, I have had some of Mr Jernigan's nutraceuticals recommended by an independent lyme literate doctor.
Mr. Jernigan also invites the reader to explore a broad spectrum of remedies, protocols and devices, some of which I would consider to be on the fringe, but keeping an open mind, I suggest that you be the judge. As I said, there was one major red flag. In his chapter on color therapy, Mr. Jernigan states "You can see the effects of color on physiology and the mind, when you go to a bull fight. The matador, or bullfighter, carries a red cape. The color red is converted into a specific vibration that primarily stimulates the bull's adrenal glands...When the bull sees the red cape, his adrenal glands dump adrenaline into the bloodstream, consequently activating his fighting mood..." The problem with this description is that a bull doesn't have cones in it's eyeball therefore it only sees shades of gray, so it cannot be stimulated by the color red. So when I read obvious errors like this, I am suspect. I have written the author but he has not written back to defend his statement. There are other areas of skepticism such as magnet therapy which isn't very well supported by research, and seems to defy logical explanation. So, even with these, and other reservations, I do believe that this book is a good starting place, but there are much better books on the use of herbs and other protocols to treat Lyme. As to his "God-Design living" hypothesis, I do believe that we are a people out of relationship with our creator. We live in a stress infected society, and God did not design us to live under a constant state of stress and rebellion, so I do find his lifestyle suggestions pretty much on the mark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have Lyme? This is a MUST!!!, August 25, 2004

By 

Lyme Doc - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beating Lyme Disease: Using Alternative Medicine and God-Designed Living (Hardcover)

I am a doctor in California with Lyme Disease. I have worked with nearly 200 patients with Lyme or related co-infections. This book has been a corner-stone in my practice both in remedies like Borrelogen and Yeast-Ease, and in practical life-style changes that are described clearly and easily implemented. The author, Dr. David Jernigan is extaordinarily gifted; he has a sound doctor's mind, and a good heart to boot. This is an absolute "MUST READ" if you want to have your life back from Lyme!! I got mine back, thankyou!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beating Lyme Disease Really Helped Me, June 16, 2004

By 

Michael Landgraf (Granada Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beating Lyme Disease: Using Alternative Medicine and God-Designed Living (Hardcover)

This is a book that takes you far beyond it's title: "Beating Lyme Disease". And it is written in such understandable language that even us neophytes can grasp it's dynamics quickly and easily.

Although us newbies to Drs. David and Sara Jernigan's approach will find the information contained within so easily understandable, professionals in the medical community should also consider this book a must read.

I personally enjoyed their three chapters on color therapy the most, as they explain to the reader what color therapy is, does, how it works, and results one should expect to realize. Those three chapters told me more than most entire books devoted to color therapy alone have shared. This has helped me greatly!

If you are searching for alternative methods to treating physical illness, of cleansing your body of toxins and damaging bacteria, then "Beating Lyme Disease" is a book you will treasure.
