More than thirty-years after it was first diagnosed, Lyme disease remains one of our most misunderstood - and pervasive illnesses. This often undetected disorder is increasing at an alarming rate and if not treated early, can cause debilitating symptoms. More than 1.7 million people in the United States, Europe, and China currently suffer from Lyme, yet they have often been unable to find the right treatment and care. Finally, "Beating Lyme Disease" sheds new light and offers those who struggle with it the guidance to get the help they need. A respected health author and educator, Constance Bean is an authority on this elusive illness. In 1993, she was diagnosed with Lyme and has spent the past fourteen years researching its various treatments and diagnoses. Compassionate and thoroughly researched, this is the first book that will enable doctors and their patients to diagnose, treat and conquer this complex disease.
