Connie's book is a different approach to Lyme disease. She covers all the traditional aspects but also interjects new approaches. I especially liked the sections about lifestyle. They really helped my friends and family understand better what I am going through. I found myself with a new attitude and different way at looking my sickness. I highly recommend this book especially if you have been dealing with Lyme for years.

Wow! It was so great to finally find a lyme book that had all of this information on different treatment protocols, and herbal supplements. I have been very disappointed in the past concerning lyme book purchases, as I felt that my own research had given me more information than the books did. As a late stage lyme patient I was fortunate enough to find a local llmd who practices integrative medicine, using the best of both western and alternative treatments trying to get this vicious disease out of my life. This book will be read again, and again and will be a tremendous resource when searching for new treatments to help me get well.

Lyme disease is nothing to sneeze at, but few have any answers as to how they will survive it. Strasheim has survived and has been gracious enough to share what she has learned on her journey.
First, we want to know "physical strategies for health Lyme disease." The author describes "finding your healing path in a labyrinth of possibilities" and explains the "seven primary protocols." This is a good starting point for anyone who has Lyme, knows of anyone who has Lyme, or for someone who may get Lyme. Being educated or prepared is essential.
Next, Strasheim explores the "detoxification strategies." Once you start killing off the bacteria with the treatment protocols, they either pile up in your body or you get them out through detoxification. And toxins are everywhere! The author discusses "eliminating stealth toxins from your diet and household." This is extremely important even without a Lyme disease sentence.
Testing and supplements are an important part of Lyme disease and Connie does a good job covering these topics. "Hormone balance" and "adjunct Lyme disease treatments" are two other areas the author wants us aware of - written in easy to read format.
Heavy metals, diet, and an easy to follow exercise plan are available. The author promises that the exercise plan will "get you moving, but won't leave you wiped out." Who doesn't want to benefit from exercise and still have enough energy to take the cap off the probiotics? And for those of you who may have little income, Strasheim discusses "formatting a protocol on a budget." For many Lyme disease victims, among the very first things to go is the income. We find we are unable to work eight hours at one time - if we're able to work at all. This budget idea strikes me as unique - maintaining one's health on a shoestring just may be the answer for you. Connie rounds the book out with "habits" and a "little humor."
With Lyme disease, there are often obstacles and challenges. Of course the physical problems associated with Lyme disease can, in themselves, be horrific. But little do we consider the emotional and mental difficulties that may be involved. How do we handle a social obligation when we look fine, but we aren't feeling well? Is there a way to get through the day and still smile? "The Lyme Disease Survival Guide" provides insight and guidance from someone that has experienced the disease firsthand.

The Lyme Disease Survival Guide appears at very first glance to be a book. But in reality, it is a GPS device cleverly designed by its creator to guide the Lyme Disease victim or caregiver successfully through the murky, bewildering, labyrinthine world of Lyme Disease.
What immediately struck me about Connie Strasheim's valuable contribution to our ongoing battle with Lyme Disease, was her personal dedication and sacrifice of time obviously required to research, accumulate and organize the crème de la crème of the bewildering plethora of Lyme Disease treatments and diagnostic protocols that currently exist.
Even though quite ill herself, Ms. Strasheim somehow managed to struggle through the omnipresent barriers of fatigue and cognitive impairment to pull together in a cogent and didactic format as much useful information as possible to help her fellow Lyme Disease sufferers.
It is sad that someone with her writing and organizational skills, enhanced by her innate ability to inject humour at the most opportune time to get the point across, should be stricken with such a dreadful disease. But if it is God's will that she carry this burden of sickness, I am grateful that He has put it in her heart to use her God given abilities to help the rest of us.
Every Lyme disease sufferer owes Connie Strasheim an enormous debt of gratitude for writing this book. If you yourself have Lyme Disease, are a caregiver or know someone with Lyme Disease, put this book in your cart... you will be glad you did!
