Why Can't I Get Better? Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease: Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease
Description
From one of the country’s foremost doctors comes a ground-breaking book about
diagnosing, treating and healing Lyme, and peeling away the layers that lead
to chronic disease. You may not know that you have Lyme. It can mimic every
disease process including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, autoimmune
conditions like MS, psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety, and
cause significant memory and concentration problems, mimicking early dementia.
It is called the “Great Imitator,” and inaccurate testing-combined with a
fierce, ongoing debate that questions chronic infection-makes it difficult for
sufferers to find effective care. When Dr. Richard Horowitz moved to the
Hudson Valley over two decades ago to start his own medical practice, he had
no idea that he was jumping into a hotbed of Lyme disease. He would soon
realize that many of the chronic disease diagnoses people were receiving were
also the result of Lyme-and he would discover how once-treatable infections,
in the absence of timely intervention, could cause disabling conditions. In a
field where the number of cases is growing exponentially around the world and
answers remain elusive, Dr. Horowitz has treated over 12,000 patients and made
extraordinary progress. His plan represents a crucial paradigm shift, without
which the suffering will continue. In this book, Dr. Horowitz: – Breaks new
ground with a 16 Point Differential Diagnostic Map, the basis for his
revolutionary Lyme treatment plan, and an overarching approach to treating all
chronic illness. – Introduces MSIDS, or Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease
Syndrome, a new lens on chronic illness that may prove to be an important
missing link. – Covers in detail Lyme’s leading symptoms and co-infections,
including immune dysfunction, sleep disorders, chronic pain and
neurodegenerative disorders – providing a unique functional and integrative
health care model, based on the most up-to-date scientific research, for
physicians and health care providers to effectively treat Lyme and other
chronic illnesses. Cutting through the frustration, misinformation and endless
questions, Dr. Horowitz’s enlightening story of medical discovery, science and
politics is an all-in-one source for patients of chronic illness to identify
their own symptoms and work with their doctors for the best possible treatment
outcome. Read more
