5.0 out of 5 stars The best book of its kind, February 27, 2008

This review is from: The Lyme Disease Solution (Paperback)

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 was a lyme sufferer in the advanced stages of the disease. With the help of Dr. Singleton and the steps outlined in his book I was able to regain health and happiness.

If you are struggling with a mysterious and debilitating disease and wondering if you might indeed have lyme disease this book is an essential read for you. If you are already suffering with advanced disease, this book will provide you with the information that you will need to create your own path back to restored health.

The Lyme Disease Solution is well organized and easy to read and understand. Dr. Singleton describes all of the body's systems and how they are affected by lyme and tick-borne disease as well as the specific changes that you can make to bring those systems back into balance to heal and rebuild your life. It is inspirational, informative and provides hope that you can and will succeed in your battle with lyme disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars The LYME SOLUTION, September 15, 2008

This review is from: The Lyme Disease Solution (Paperback)

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
