12/3/2007	Think the cold weather means no ticks? Think again! Most people assume that in the fall and winter months, ticks are not dangerous. This is an incorrect assumption! According to an October 16, 2007 article in the Hillsdale (New York) Daily Record, Lyme-carrying ticks can be active in all weather conditions as long as the temperature is above freezing - even during the warmer afternoon hours of cold winter days, and even when snow is on the ground. In fact, the fall season is even considered to be high season for ticks. According to New York health officials, "October marks the start of the high season for adult deer ticks, because in the fall, nymphs [young ticks] molt into adult ticks and seek a meal of blood before their dormancy during cold winter weather." Although ticks are dormant during most of the winter, "adult ticks will emerge on warmer days in the winter, and they may attach themselves to animals or clothing in January and February during a thaw." According to Dr. Carlene Patterson, a Ghent veterinarian who is part of the Columbia County Lyme Disease Task Force, "just because there is snow on the ground, it doesn't mean that ticks cease to be a problem."  Lyme Disease may even be more of a danger in the fall and winter months due to decreased awareness of the disease, and hence decreased prevention activities. Since most people think of Lyme Disease as a summer problem, they may not be on guard during colder weather. Now you know better and you can take appropriate precautions to protect yourself and your family.
6/26/2007	Do you realize how important it is to avoid steroid drugs? Steroid drugs (such as anti-inflammatory injections, steroid inhalers, eye drops, or cream) can cause severe worsening of Lyme Disease. Steroids basically disable the immune system and allow Lyme bacteria to reproduce and spread unchecked. It is absolutely critical for Lyme sufferers to stay away from any drug which contains steroid ingredients. Joseph Burrascano, M.D., one of the nations leading Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMDs), notes that steroid drugs can cause "permanent damage in people suffering from Lyme Disease." I am posting about this topic in today's blog entry because I was reminded of the importance of this subject when I saw the following message from a Lyme sufferer who unwittingly took steroids. Here is her story and the devastation that occurred: "I've had Lyme for years but it was under control (which is to say I was functioning and had a life) until I had a steroid injection for severe low back pain in September. The Lyme went crazy and I've been housebound and largely incapacitated ever since. I will avoid steroids like the plague." This was posted to the Lyme/Rife Group on May 30, 2007. I hope you, as a Lyme sufferer, now realize the importance of completely avoiding steroid-type drugs.
6/1/2007	Lyme Disease and Autism? One of the most important aspects of your Lyme Disease education is to realize that Lyme Disease can in fact mimic nearly any health condition, from multiple sclerosis and depression to chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. New information supports a strong connection between Lyme Disease and Autism. Evidence for the link between Lyme Disease and Autism is so strong that several Lyme/Autism organizations have sprung into existence. Moreover, conferences on the topic are even happening. On June 22-24 will be held the "Lyme-Autism Connection Conference" in Irvine, CA. Here is the information: http://www.lymeinducedautism.com/seminarregistration.html  According to Charles Ray Jones, M.D.: "Physicians, parents and patients from across the country are invited to learn about Lyme disease and it's impact on our children. Hundreds, if not thousands of children have been diagnosed with Lyme Disease and Autism. It's time to bring the experts from each of these areas together to find answers for our kids. Please join us and learn about proper testing, diagnosis, the unique needs of an autistic child and participate in the physicians training to search for the best treatments. This conference is appropriate for parents of children diagnosed with autism, Lyme disease , add/adhd, asperger's syndrome or adults with Lyme disease."

Book Reviews

"Broad and clearly written, this will be one of the top Lyme Disease books of the decade. Bryan Rosner is unusually gifted at explaining new emerging treatments. He thinks big and offers big solutions."

        Author of 16 books and

"I am a sleep lab technologist, and I have chronic Lyme Disease. Before I found a Lyme doctor, I was forced to educate myself about this disease. I have an arsenal of over 25 Lyme Disease books. Bottom line, Bryan Rosner's books surpass any I have in my collection. The Lyme Disease epidemic will be coming to a neighborhood near you and this book could be your defense against this insidious attacker."

      - Tracie Schissel, PSGT
        Brainerd Lakes Sleep Health Center

 

"Having lived myself with chronic Lyme Disease for over 10 years, I wish I had the information available in this book years ago. Everyone with chronic Lyme Disease will relate to and benefit from this book."

      - Scott Forsgren 
        Founder and Editor of BetterHealthGuy.com

 

"Bryan Rosner has written another ground-breaking Lyme Disease book. The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments is a perfect compliment to his first book. It expands on information in the first book and also contains new treatments from traditional and alternative medicine. Rosner frankly discusses the many difficult medical and political issues in today's Lyme Disease treatment climate. A must-read book!"

      - Jeff Mittelman
        Moderator of the
        Lyme-and-Rife Group

 

"I am a registered nurse, wife, mother, and patient, and for 15 years I have suffered from three tick borne diseases. I have searched the world over looking for healing. Hope is a word Lyme sufferers soon learn is not part of their vocabulary.

Bryan Rosner opens the door to hope and offers a map to restored health. By turning the pages of this book, you will learn how to turn the course of suffering. A former Lyme sufferer himself, Rosner has paved the way, thank God, for all of us." 

      - Mary E. Brescia, R.N.

 

“In this helpful book, Bryan Rosner presents 10 new Lyme Disease treatments and enough discussion of the science behind them to put the information in context and make it useful. Whether you are under a doctor's care or going it alone, this book will help you make good decisions so you can get better." 

      - Andrew Hall Cutler, Ph.D., P.E.
        Author of Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment
        and Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities

 

"Thorough and brilliant. The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments covers many little-known yet vital topics, including the holistic use of antibiotics, different forms of Lyme bacteria (which require different treatments), enzymes, the Marshall and salt/Vitamin C protocols, and Rife therapy. An important book for laypeople and health practitioners alike."
