Rosner is a survivor of Lyme disease – “the most devastating health issue I’ve ever experienced” – Kay, 2007.

Bryan’s story is not unlike other patients’ stories about their Lyme disease experience. However, this survivor wrote this book and it is the only one I have seen that is broken down into manageable chapters, sections, and subsections for the layperson and medical professional.

 The book does not cover basic information like the variety of ticks, where to get tested, which tests are most reliable, which antibiotic is most effective, insurance policies which may or may not cover Lyme disease, the pathology of the disease, legislation, activism, or treatment guidelines. What it claims to cover is “complex topics, difficult debates, treatment breakthroughs, and cutting-edge Lyme disease research.”

 It’s sad, but true, there is a war-of-the-guidelines raging and physicians are not trained to look for the disease -- many victims suffer for prolonged periods (sometimes years) before they are correctly diagnosed and treated. Laboratory tests are insensitive, late-appearing symptoms often lead to misdiagnosis, evidence supports various routes of transmission (so if the infected doesn’t recall a tick bite, this does not mean the person does not have Lyme disease), and some medical professionals refuse to believe Lyme disease exists in their part of the world.

 If this were not all bad enough, Rosner details some of the obstacles in treatment. He writes that the “current antibiotic guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control are vastly inadequate and based on antiquated, inaccurate, and unreliable data.” And the popular belief is there is no Chronic Lyme disease. The author explains that “doctors and researchers who do not acknowledge chronic Lyme disease have invented a bogus label for people who still have symptoms after a short course of antibiotics: “Post-Lyme Syndrome.”” The idea of no Chronic Lyme disease is a serious matter to the Lyme disease community.

“The conclusion that chronic Lyme disease is not a valid medical condition is so preposterous, so irrational, so unscientific that one can’t help but question whether the presiding research organizations are actually pursuing truth or instead, acting as puppets beholden to a political or medical agenda.”  If this is still not bad enough, Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMDs) are not willing to get out on the proverbial “limb and actually help people with chronic Lyme disease by reading the literature and implementing rational treatments” because they are often “prosecuted, sued, disciplined by state medical boards, ridiculed, and at a risk for losing their medical practice.” For obvious reasons, the insurance companies welcome the guidelines that do not recognize Chronic Lyme disease and often, long-term antibiotic therapy does not work and there can be serious side effects.

Rosner goes on to state that no single therapy can be deemed best because we are individuals and the disease presents differently in each of us. “Time heals all wounds,” and Rosner agrees. He states that getting the right treatment and staying away from the wrong treatment will, over time, make you “get better and better and better.”

The ten Lyme disease treatments Rosner writes about are: The antibiotic rotation therapy; the Marshall protocol; The salt/vitamin C protocol; Detoxification; rife machine therapy; systemic enzymes; mangosteen; lithium orotate; coenzyme Q10; and magnesium.

Now that you have the information, you may now be in a position to build a treatment plan – he even has a few words about what to expect once you have put your treatment selection into place.

This book in no way medical advice, a cure, nor does it suggest a diagnosis, treatment, or prevention method. It is for informational purposes and the presentation, in all or part, may/may not have FDA approval. Rosner offers no guarantees and none should be interrupted.
