Book Reviews of Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic
Book Review: Incomparable - if you read one book on Lyme Disease this should be it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My title pretty much say's it all. Ms Weintraub's book is the yardstick by which all others can be measured.
I have probably read nearly a dozen books about Lyme Disease (I have had it for over a decade) and some were good and some were bad the Cure Unknown is the best.
Sadly it it offers a lot of sadness as well as some hope. It bravely attempts so draw a bright line in the sand between the past and the hope for the future.
I can only hope Ms Weintraub will some day write a follow up title "How we found the cure".
Thanks
Book Review: THE book to read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book we've been waiting for! Pamela Weintraub has done a masterful job of researching, collating and presenting in an objective way the current state of Lyme Disease, its treatment, and the politics surrounding both. Read this and see "Under Our Skin", then share them with others.
I do not have Lyme, but a close friend does, and it's been very difficult watching him deal with this disease. When it's not caught early, it takes a long time to get rid of. Weintraub helps us understand why - and why more isn't being done about dealing with it.
Book Review: Very well done book.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very well written and explains Lyme from its discovery to its presnet state of debate over treatment protocols. The information is presented in a intersting way so you can get this important data without getting bogged down in things that are irrelevant. As other reviewers have pointed out it does not list Alternative or adjuncitive treatments to antibiotics so any reader would have to seach elsewhere for this data. With that said "Cure Unknown" is an appropriate title for this book.Book Review: CDC: Please read this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even after years of suffering with lyme disease, I learned many new things from Weintraub's book. The history and politics that surround this disease still amaze me and she does an excellent job chronicling both along with real life stories of people who suffer or suffered with lyme including herself.
I noted with great interest that Gary Wormser who so opposes the idea of chronic lyme refused to be interviewed. Anyone who has lyme or knows someone with lyme should read this book.
Book Review: A Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cure Unknown" is a must read for those with Lyme disease, those diagnosed with CFS, FMS,MS and many other "mystery" illnesses. If your doctor says, "It is all in your head","There is no such thing as Chronic Lyme", please read this book. If you wonder why the medical profession and insurance companies want to pretend Lyme disease does not exist, read this book. Pamela Weintraub tells the real story behind Lyme disease and gives real hope to sufferers and those who care.
