Lyme disease has become the fastest-growing infectious disease transmitted by ticks (or other vectors) in the United States, but still remains a condition that is frequently misunderstood, overlooked, and misdiagnosed. Written by a leading practitioner of Lyme-aware medicine, this comprehensive guide will reveal to you the facts about this very serious disease - symptoms of which can mimic cardiac, neurological, and rheumatoid conditions - and will tell you what you need to know about the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease.

Lyme disease in one of the most pernicious health conditions and is far more pervasive than most people realize. In The Lyme Disease Solution, Dr Singleton has created the best and most comprehensive resource on the subject that I have ever read. This is a "must-read" book that needs to be in the homes of every person who suffers from Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, as well as all people who are experiencing chronic and debilitating syptoms that their doctors aren't able to help them with. Chances are good that such people may have undiagnosed Lyme disease and this book explains why. More importantly, it also provides you with the information and medical advice you need to restore your health.
As a someone who suffered with undiagnosed Lyme disease for many years and then discovered how to heal himself, it is obvious on every page of this book that Dr. Singleton knows what he is talking about. The medical advice he shares, along with a wealth of self-care solutions, will empower all who read this book to dramatically improve their health over time, just as it has the many chronic Lyme patients that Dr. Singleton sees in his practice.
Moreover, this book is essential reading for anyone suffering from chronic low-grade inflammation (potentially the majority of all Americans due to the standard American diet and other factors), which is now known to be a primary risk factor for a wide variety of diseases, including arthritis, heart disease and cancer. The information Dr. Singleton provides on how to prevent and reverse chronic inflammation, including his proprietary Lyme Inflammation Diet program is by itself well-worth the price of this book.
It is for these reasons that I give The Lyme Disease Solution my highest recommendation.

I bought this book as a prescription from a MD, who is treating my Daughter. After eight years of suffering fom a mystery disease, and being diagnosed with everything from Lupus to Fibromyalgia, to MS, Addisons or a thyroid tumor she has been diagnosed with Lyme and other related tick borne diseases
There were several medical practitioners who accused her of "Drug Seeking," and others who put her on pain patches that rendered her almost unconscious for most of the day.
All and all, whatever she had contracted, had stolen her life before she was forty.
I have found during my research on the internet that this is a common story for those who have contracted Lyme and related tick borne diseases.
The MD who prescribed this book has Lyme himself and applies the routine proposed in it to his own case. Although I have only skimmed the text, my Daughter has nearly memorized it. She has hope for the first time in many years that the program in the book will benefit her and others who suffer from Lyme
