This frequently misdiagnosed infection is spreading at an alarming rate and, if not treated early, can cause debilitating symptoms.

 Rating:  - A Poor Book. Fein is Behind? I have tried my best to read all the new books on this area in the last 5 years as of this date. If you are like me you do not really have time to read them all. I found that after reading better books that I learned only a few new things from Bean.

Nothing New Medically Since the 80'sI could not stand reading this book and the medical author is dated in all aspects of advanced care. Rating: - UNREADABLE. UNLESS TO PATIENTS. STALE HISTORY.

This is what I learned after reading the microscopic print. See below: Rating:  - DISTURBING,PAINFUL BUT SO WELL WRITTEN!!!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 ... Read More
