Book Description

August 19, 2011
Nature's Dirty Needle describes Chronic Lyme Disease, the different co-infections, what the symptoms are, how to recognize them, and, finally, how best to get help. Personal stories of those who have dealt with these infections tell the tale of finding the right provider, getting the correct diagnosis, and then treatment. The politics surrounding the infections and the lack of support and poor information from the current health care system are described. In Nature's Dirty Needle you will find a symptom check list. You will understand that Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia are syndromes, not diagnoses, and that, if you are having odd symptoms, they are not all in your head. You are not crazy, but may have been bitten by a tick! With over 30 years as a health care provider, Mara Williams has been helping people to achieve a greater level of health and well-being. Attaining a Masters in Nursing and Nurse Practitioner Certificate allowed Mara to expand her practice and eventually specialize in Integrative Care and treating people with Tick Borne Disease (TBD). Additionally, Mara uses her empathic ability to help clear her clients energetically so that healing can take place.

More About the Author

With over 30 years as a health care provider, Mara Williams, RN, MSN, ANP has been helping people to achieve a greater level of health and well-being. Attaining a Masters in Nursing and Nurse Practitioner Certificate allowed Mara to expand her ptactice and eventually specialize in Integrative Care and treating people with Tick Borne Disease(TBD). Additionally, Mara uses her empathic ability to help clear her clients energeticaly so that healing can take place.

Now she is developing plans for a healing center, Inanna House, for chronically ill people, especially those with TBD, to receive supportive care so that they can undergo treatment necessary to get well. Based upon a new paradigm in healing and health care, Innana House will integrate the best of all health modalities to achieve optimum results for each client, which includes a body, mind, and spirit connection and reintegration.

Mara was motivated to write this book because her 36 year old daughter is gravely ill with Chronic Lyme Disease. She has seen firsthand how the current Western health care system has failed in treating these infections and marginalized people because they don't understand the complexity of TBD. In fact, they fail to recognize them.

I ordered Nature's Dirty Needle when I was in my first few months of treatment. I can honestly say that was the darkest time of my Lyme Disease journey, & this book made me feel less alone for the first time. I could relate to everyone's stories and I had never been able to do that before. Also, my caretaker (my mom, hehe), read it after me and it really helped her to understand what I was going through, which was a big feat and changed our relationship dramatically. That's why I say it's a must read for Lyme Warriors... & their friends & family. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars LYME IN REASON March 13, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Lyme's patient, just the idea of educating myself with having a disease of such complexity, seemed overwhelming.
Add to that factor the "brain fog" which is so common in us who experience this disease. I ventured out to the library,
and found that there were not very many books on Lyme's. All of those I did find, seemed complex and were difficult to
read. This was not so, in turning the pages of Nature's Dirty Needle. It is simple, to the "point" ( no pun intended due to title)
and reading the personal stories of those with Lyme's was a completely validating experience, in relation to my own Lyme's
journey. So true: for those of us who suffer with Lyme's, it can be very isolating. My own family members and several friends
cannot relate to what is going on with me, with so much confusion over diagnosis, medication, and Lyme's complexities.
This is the perfect book to put in the hands of those loved ones who do not understand. I have come to consider, that this book
has become a form of medicine to me: it does what it intends to do: educate those who need to learn about Lyme's Disease and
all of it's complexities. I found those who read it, became much more sensitive and aware of us who suffer from Lyme's, and
to those like myself who have Lyme's, it is worth it's weight in pure gold! Thank you, Mara!
