Editorial Reviews for Beating Lyme: Understanding and Treating This Complex and Often Misdiagnosed Disease
|
More than thirty-years after it was first diagnosed, Lyme disease remains one of our most misunderstood - and pervasive illnesses. This often undetected disorder is increasing at an alarming rate and if not treated early, can cause debilitating symptoms. More than 1.7 million people in the United States, Europe, and China currently suffer from Lyme, yet they have often been unable to find the right treatment and care. Finally, "Beating Lyme Disease" sheds new light and offers those who struggle with it the guidance to get the help they need. A respected health author and educator, Constance Bean is an authority on this elusive illness. In 1993, she was diagnosed with Lyme and has spent the past fourteen years researching its various treatments and diagnoses. Compassionate and thoroughly researched, this is the first book that will enable doctors and their patients to diagnose, treat and conquer this complex disease.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Mostly Political Information
Comment: This book has a wealth of information on the politics in treatment options for lyme disease patients and their families. This helps the reader to understand the obstacles and attitudes encountered when seeking medical diagnosis and treatment for lyme disease. I was disapointed that there was very little information on actually treating the disease besides the authors own experience. While trying to explain the whole lyme picture, I felt that too much emphasis was put on information that was dated, and not enough newer ideas or research were presented. I had to put the book down numerous times because it felt like the author was rambling on and on about the same thing over and over. Especially difficult for a late stage lyme disease patient with neurological issues to absorb.

Summary: DISTURBING,PAINFUL BUT SO WELL WRITTEN!!!
Comment: Connie has put it all on the table for us to read! There's no gloss or coverups! She tells it like it is and in todays highly political arena of Lyme Disease battles, we need many more Connie Beans......
In reading her book, I couldn't help but feel I was looking in a mirror of sorts as her many battles to be properly diagnosed so directed parrelled mine!!!
Bravo, Connie. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. Thank you for your knowledge but more importantly for your truthfulness and honesty!!!!!!

Summary: Great Book and Resource
Comment: Finally, I found a book on Lyme disease that tells me what I need to know in an easy to read and helpful format. This well written book is approximately 286 pages complete with chapter notes, an appendix on symptoms, contact resource information, and an in-depth index. The authors discuss cause, testing, diagnosis, and effective medical treatment of this difficult disease. After reading the book I am now armed with information on prevention and treatment of Lyme disease. I am also alerted to the possible political deception or (lack of understanding) by some providers in prescribing insufficient antibiotic treatment.
I have already used my copy of the book as a reference when I removed two suspicious ticks found on my husband following some yard work. We followed the book's protocol and sent them off to the lab for testing. I am glad to have my copy as a resource and sincerely recommend it to all who desire more knowledge about Lyme disease.
