A patient asked me why some of her doctors believed her and some of them didn’t when she said she had Chronic Lyme. Another patient came in with a new Lyme diagnosis confused by the avalanche of information on the internet. I didn’t have a simple answer for either of them.
So I wrote a book about the Lyme Wars. It does what I haven’t seen any book do, say both sides are right and both sides are wrong. And I should start by saying to all my colleagues on both sides of the Lyme Wars that I’m sorry I’ll be kicking your sacred cows. We need someone to come to the middle to help move the debate beyond yes/no to both/and. The only way to do that is to understand where the other side is coming from and to admit that we don’t have all the answers.

If you’re newly diagnosed with Lyme, or if you’ve been diagnosed but think one side is right and the other is crazy, this is the book for you.
