Richard Horowitz

First, I want to emphasize that this is not easy reading material. While, Dr. Horowitz does his best to break the information down into easy to understand chunks, the content is comprehensive and highly scientific. For the average person, this is the type of book requiring time and concentration. For those in the medical profession, this is an absolute must read.

I've had a lifetime of health problems and have a list of diagnoses containing words like 'chronic' and 'idiopathic'. Finally, five show more years ago, I was diagnosed with chronic, late-stage Lyme disease. Even with that knowledge, my doctors have been at a loss as to how to help me. Various treatments have buried me financially while doing very little (if anything) to improve my health. This book explains everything I've gone through, connecting all the seemingly random symptoms and complications I've experienced throughout the years.

Unfortunately, traveling to see Dr. Horowitz for treatment isn't an option for me at this time. Also, the average person simply cannot afford all the recommended supplements and medications. Many of us who have faced years of chronic health problems will not be able to afford his recommended protocol, particularly since insurance companies are given so much power in deciding what we do and do not need for treatment. I am lucky to have a doctor who is totally open to alternative treatments, and I plan to bring her this book. With luck, we'll happen about the right combination of treatment and affordability.

Dr. Horowitz offers tremendous insight into many chronic health problems, from Lyme disease to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, MS, and much more. He has risked his career and reputation in order to help those of us the medical system has failed so miserably. For that alone, he has my eternal gratitude. show less

Great book - very medically detailed, which makes it a slow go to read. If you have Lyme or think you might have Lyme this is invaluable.
