Lyme disease infects a minimum of 300,000 people per year in the
United States and millions more throughout the rest of the world.
Symptoms run from mild lethargy to severe arthritis to heart
disease to incapacitating mental dysfunction. Although tests have
improved over the past decade, they are still not completely
reliable, and antibiotics are only partially effective. Up to
thirty-five percent of those infected will not respond to
antibiotic treatment or will relapse. The spirochetes that cause
Lyme are stealth pathogens-they can hide within cells or alter
their form so that our immune systems cannot find them, as well as
inhibit the effectiveness of antibiotics. Lyme disease is, in fact,
a potent emerging epidemic disease for which technological medicine
is only partially effective. The coinfections that accompany Lyme
are often as, or more, incapacitating than Lyme itself. Worldwide,
hundreds of millions experience infection with babesia, bartonella,
ehrlichia, anaplasma, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and the spotted fever
rickettsiosis. Healing Lyme examines the leading, scientific
research on Lyme infection and its tests and treatments, and
outlines the most potent natural medicines that offer help, either
alone or in combination with antibiotics, for preventing and
healing the disease. The book has been a bestseller for over a
decade, and during that time the author has had contact with over
25,000 people who have used some form of these protocols during
their healing journey. This edition has been significantly updated,
fully revised, and expanded to reflect the increased understandings
from that extensive contact, including depth-treatment experiences
with hundreds during the past decade. Healing Lyme is the primary
text in print on what Lyme bacteria do in the body and how natural
approaches can heal the disease. It is the first book in print
covering depth understanding and treatment of chlamydial and
rickettsial coinfections. This new updated version of Healing Lyme
joins the author's other two books on the treatment of Lyme
coinfections (babesia, bartonella, mycoplasma, anaplasma, and
ehrlichia) and completes his exhaustive work on these stealth
pathogens.

Despite 40 years of aggressive pharmaceutical and surgical
interventions, coronary artery disease remains the number one
killer of women and men in Western civilization. Cardiovascular
disease, more than ever, demonstrates the landscape has changed so
significantly, that new information must be given to the young and
old health professionals seeing patients on a day to day basis. Dr.
Sinatra has 40 plus years of experience in cardiovascular disease
and is board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology. Dr.
Mark Houston practices integrative nutritional preventive
cardiology and has superb expertise in hypertension, and
dyslipidemia which are major factors in the genesis of
cardiovascular disease. The information in this book will give
doctors-to-be, and even doctors-that-are the overlooked information
they need for a balanced approach to cardiovascular treatment that
includes a healing/healthy diet, nutritional supplementation,
exercise and weight management. Those are crucial and powerful
additions to the toolbox with which to maintain health and fix
problems. That's the integrative approach that Dr. Sinatra, Dr
Houston and his fellow authors, have been using with great success
for decades. The Table of Contents shows a true revision - all new
material - this is more of a companion volume to the original
edition.

The modern world can present the body as a machine that just needs
to be regularly exercised. However, it is a remarkably sensitive
organ in which a lot of our pain and hope is stored and that we
need to interpret and handle with subtlety. This impact of our body
upon our mind is something which needs to be explored as it is easy
to pay attention to one more than the other and to to ignore the
crucial balance between the two. This is a book filled with
reflections and exercises designed to help us live more
harmoniously and maturely within both mind and body. It gives
guidance on how to calm our minds with bodily exercises that work
on the real sources of our anxieties. It suggests how to be less
rigid in, and timid about, our bodies and how to relax into them in
a way we might not have done for far too long. It offers ideas on
how to accept the way we look, and how to treat the body in order
for it to assist the mind in yielding its very best ideas. The
impacts of activities such as singing, dancing and art are explored
along with the liberation of spirit that these might offer. This is
a book, both theoretical and practical, that will improve our
relationship between our physical and mental selves and allow us a
route to a life of greater self-assurance, wisdom and freedom to be
ourselves.
