    About this ebook

    Got Lyme? It's time to learn what you need to protect yourself and your family. You'll learn why antibiotics, even lots of antibiotics, sometimes don't work. If they don’t, there are twenty FDA approved medications that might save your life.

    But for chronic symptoms, more antibiotics may not be the answer. Many doctors recommend three imported herbs that have side effects. Dr. Maloney lists twenty herbs that may help.

    Learn to shop for your Lyme medications in the aisles of your grocery store rather than in your pharmacy.

    While most experts rely on their own clinical experience, Dr. Maloney relies on hundreds of researched articles, all listed for patients who want to learn directly from the source. Rather than just getting Dr. Maloney's expertise, patients get to hear from experts all over the globe.

    Dr. Maloney has worked to make the material simple and readable. He lists only what you need to know, providing links to more information for those who have interest. By the time you finish his short book, Dr. Maloney hopes that you will have the tools you need to face Lyme now or in the future.

      My greatest appreciation to the pioneers of ILADS, the hearty women and men who have bucked the system to relieve the suffering of Chronic Lyme. And my thanks to all the patients, the tireless foot soldiers of Chronic Lyme who have refused to be silenced by an apathetic system. You are my heroes.

      Preface

      It’s time to stop the Lyme madness. We need to take a step back and really look at how we can live in a world where Lyme is continuing to spread.

      Wherever you find yourself on the journey of Lyme, I want to help you live in that world. If you've just been diagnosed with Lyme, please read this book before you subject yourself to aggressive treatment. If you're a battle-scarred veteran of the Lyme Wars, I go into aspects of Lyme you may have missed. I also give you more treatment options.

      If you or a loved one is dealing with aggressive, life-threatening Lyme, please move immediately to chapter eleven. It lists twenty FDA approved drugs that are not commonly used for Lyme treatment and could save your loved one's life.

      Have you been told Chronic Lyme is a mental condition? If you don't know why your doctor isn't taking your symptoms seriously, we'll talk about that in chapter one.

      Don't know why, after months of aggressive treatment, you still feel terrible? It's likely that you're dealing with an immune system problem, not a Lyme problem. We'll talk about Lyme and the immune system in chapter six.

      Would it surprise you to learn that healing from Lyme can and should feel better? Not just at the end. Every single day you’re living with Chronic Lyme you should gradually feel better. We'll talk about Lyme and the Healing Response in chapter seven.

      In this book, I will tell you why you should stop doing things that make you feel wretched. Why? The process of making you feel worse with treatment is supporting the illness, not your healing. Inflaming your body with aggressive, miserable treatments defeats the purpose of the treatments. It depletes your immune system, and it creates a no-win situation for patients; either you feel terrible with the illness or you feel terrible with the treatment.

      Aggressive treatments in Chronic Lyme cases may not help more than more moderate treatments. We need to work toward lifelong treatment plans for patients with Chronic Lyme. The current model of Lyme has been a focus on a single infection or set of infections. Instead, we need to recognize that re-infection is now the new normal and cannot allow it to derail recovering patients. Creating a plan for patients so that they can continue to recover from any future infection must be our goal.

      Why did I write this book?

      When I finished my first book explaining the Lyme Wars, Why Chronic Lyme Doesn't (And Does) Exist, patients asked me what I would do myself if I had Chronic Lyme. I’d like to think I’d find a middle way, but it’s a lot easier to sit on the sidelines of the Lyme Wars than to make the choices myself.

      So I wrote this book from the standpoint of what I would do if I had Chronic Lyme. I will base everything I write here on the best evidence-based medical research we have.

      Yes, I will also tell you what I would do personally, which has changed as I've researched. For example, at the beginning of my research the Lyme vaccine still sounded like a good idea. Now, not so much. (My current reaction is more like, Yikes! Run away! Since I've learned the vaccine can cause all the Lyme symptoms in some people.)

      I have the great advantage of having my mind clear and my joints currently pain-free, so I don’t have to struggle with the misery of Chronic Lyme while I examine my options.

      For those of you who believe that only someone who currently suffers from the disease has special insight, I have also accessed the many online Lyme chat boards, examining the popular treatments from first person accounts. I also have access to and understand the herbal as well as conventional medical options. So while I don't have the illness (at least current symptoms), I do understand it.

      For every person with Chronic Lyme, the journey is individualized. I hope my own journey will be helpful to you as I consider the most fruitful choice of treatments.

      1: I Am Angry About Chronic Lyme

      I apologize if this book seems at times to be angry. No particular person or treatment makes me angry, I’m just angry about Chronic Lyme.

      I’m not just angry because the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to claim it doesn’t exist. They are hurting so many people without any justification. It bothers me every day that they’ve taken the just say no position to Chronic Lyme, despite the accepted reality that between ten and twenty percent of Lyme patients may have lingering symptoms. But I’m used to that head-in-the-sand mentality. It continues even though Chronic Lyme is now four times more common in the U.S. than AIDS and still the CDC thinks of it as a subjective syndrome because they could not locate the infectious agent to their satisfaction.

      What also makes me angry is that, after forty years, we still are no closer to fixing Chronic Lyme. We still don’t have any studies that show a cure. The Lyme literate doctors of ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) are the only ones even treating Chronic Lyme. They (we, as I’m at least semi-Lyme literate) stuff their patients full of chemical cocktails in the hopes of a
