The
Lyme Disease Survival Guide:
Physical, Lifestyle, and Emotional
Strategies for Healing
BY
CONNIE STRASHEIM
Foreword by James Schaller, M.D.
296 Pages, $25.95 |
What separates this book from the dozens of other Lyme disease
books on the market? The answer: author Connie Strasheim's piercing
insight into not only the physical and medical challenges created by
Lyme disease, but also the emotional and lifestyle obstacles
experienced by Lyme sufferers.
In short, this book provides a complete road map to healing, and
includes physical, mental, and emotional guidance.
It is a fact that Lyme sufferers go through much more than physical
trauma when dealing with disease. Connie's book addresses the more
subtle emotional and mental aspects of the illness, with a
"dash of humor to light the way."
According to James Schaller, M.D., author of the Foreword for the
book, "you will feel alive and hopeful as you read this
book." Allow the words of several other health care providers
to shed additional light on the immense value of the book:
"Connie Strasheim's book, 'The Lyme Disease Survival
Guide,' is a valuable guide for navigating through the many pieces of the Lyme disease puzzle. While it is informative on many aspects of this illness, including symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, it is also a heartfelt and fun read. The self- help aspect of this work provides many useful tips as well as gives the reader a first hand look into the physical, mental and emotional complications of Lyme. This book is a must for people with Lyme disease, and those that love
them."

related pernicious agents within the body’s terrain. The book is a must for anyone interested in reclaiming the body’s power to heal and embracing hope as they move forward on their healing
journey."
