You've blogged your way to Bowman's Thoughts and Things. Before you leave I hope that you will leave having been informed and introduced to some pretty good products. Because I have Lyme Disease I do hope that you learn something about Lyme and the need for more research. If you know someone with Lyme disease-show kindness and understanding. Believe me, it will be very much appreciated. The very best of health to you all!

Thirteen Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners Reveal Their Treatment Strategies for Chronic Lyme Disease in New Book
Thirteen Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners Reveal Their Treatment Strategies for Chronic Lyme Disease in New Book
Denver, CO, August 30, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A new book, Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment: Thirteen Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners Share Their Healing Strategies, provides people with Lyme disease and their physicians with current, cutting-edge information on the treatment of chronic Lyme disease and the corollary conditions that it causes.
It is a comprehensive resource, written from the perspective of thirteen Lyme disease experts, including eight Lyme-literate medical doctors (MD’s), two naturopathic doctors (ND’s), a “heilpraktiker” (or healing practitioner, as the German title translates into English) and one chiropractor and nutritionist. The training and education of the experts encompasses a broad range of disciplines, but most use a combination of allopathic, naturopathic, complementary and alternative medicine in their practices. Whatever their background, however, all are experienced in treating chronic Lyme disease.
The book includes each practitioner’s anti-microbial and detoxification protocols, as well as their recommended supportive treatments for the body. It also provides their perspectives on the challenges and roadblocks to healing.
According to the CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Lyme disease is the fastest-growing infectious disease in the US, with more than 20,000 new cases reported each year. The CDC estimates, however, that only one in ten cases is reported, which means that there could be at least 200,000 new cases each year, and perhaps even many more than that.
Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics when - and if - it is caught early, while the Lyme spirochetes are still in the patient’s bloodstream and can be reached by antibiotics. If the disease goes undiagnosed, the spirochetes, (which are related to those that cause syphilis), can infiltrate the non-blood areas of the body, such as the nervous system, brain, heart, joints, and cartilage. The disease then becomes a multi-symptom, multi-system illness that wreaks havoc upon nearly all of the person’s tissues and organs.
Once this happens, Lyme disease becomes chronic and difficult to diagnose. It may masquerade as a variety of other illnesses. Many physicians do not know how to effectively treat it. It devastates nearly every aspect of a person’s existence. ILADS, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, estimates that most chronic Lyme disease sufferers experience a level of disability equivalent to that of a person who has suffered from a recent heart attack. As chronicled in the recently released documentary, "Under Our Skin: There's No Medicine For Someone Like You," those with chronic Lyme experience so much neurological and cognitive dysfunction that they end up losing their jobs, homes, mobility, and, in some cases, their lives.
For those who have been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease or who haven’t received adequate treatment help through the means that have been available to them, Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment provides a comprehensive variety of effective, in-depth solutions. For the practitioner, it provides cutting-edge information on treatments that has not been published elsewhere.
The information in this book was obtained through interviews with the following thirteen health care practitioners:
Steve Harris, MD
Steven Bock, MD
Susan Marra, ND, MS
Ginger Savely, DNP
Lee Cowden, MD, MD (H)
Ingo Woitzel, MD
Ronald Whitmont, MD
Deborah Metzger, MD, PhD
Pete Muran, MD, MBA
Nicola McFadzean, ND
Marlene Kunold, “Heilpraktiker” (Healing Practitioner, Germany)
Elizabeth Hesse-Sheehan, DC, CCN
Jeffrey Morrison, MD
These practitioners were chosen on the basis of their expertise and experience in treating chronic Lyme disease. After the interviews, Ms. Strasheim wrote the book’s chapters, collaborating with the practitioners in the editing process, to make sure that all of the information from the interviews was accurately represented. Each chapter is devoted to the treatment approach of a particular practitioner, and covers, to a greater or lesser degree, the following:
1) Anti-microbial treatments for Lyme disease and associated infections, including antibiotics, herbs, homeopathic remedies, plant stem cells and biophotons
2) Information on how to support the body’s systems, which is an integral component to healing from chronic Lyme disease. Particular attention is given to the immune, endocrine, neurological, digestive and musculoskeletal systems
3) Treatments for symptomatic relief. Solutions for fatigue, pain, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia are offered, as well as others
4) Detoxifying Lyme biotoxins, mold, candida, heavy metals and other environmental toxins
5) Treating food and environmental allergies
6) Lifestyle and dietary recommendations for faster healing
7) Strategies for healing emotional trauma
8) Patient and practitioner challenges to healing
9) Factors that influence healing
10) Suggestions for how family and friends can help the sick
11) Which anti-microbial treatments work and which don’t
12) How to discern whether Lyme disease is primary in patients’ overall symptom picture

New tick disease moves into La Crosse area (WI)
I found this article about a new tick disease. I thought you would appreciate learning something about this disease. This is an area in Wisconsin, but we should all be aware of it if we see symptoms of it. As always, we appreciate the Lacrosse Tribune for great reporting. Here is the link for the full article:http://www.lacrossetribune.com/news/article_ded7b774-9b65-11de-9e68-001cc4c002e0.html

What is it? Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease caused by a species of bacteria called Anaplasma phagocytophilum. It was previously known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) and later as human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA).
How do people get it? Anaplasmosis is transmitted to humans by tick bites primarily from the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) in the eastern United States and the western blacklegged tick (Ixodes pacificus) in the western United States. Of the four distinct phases in the tick life-cycle (egg, larvae, nymph, adult), nymphal and adult ticks are most frequently associated with transmission of anaplasmosis to humans.
Where do most cases occur? About 600 to 800 cases of anaplasmosis are reported to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention each year. States reporting the highest incidence of anaplasmosis in 2006 were Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
La Crosse area health officials are seeing more cases of a new tick-borne infection carried by the same deer tick that causes Lyme disease.
Gundersen Lutheran researchers have been monitoring anaplasmosis the last three years and report 50 human cases in the La Crosse area.
The researchers have developed a test for the disease and have been testing blood samples in Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation's microbiology laboratories at the La Crosse Health Science Center.
"It is an emerging infection in this area," said Dean Jobe, researcher and supervisor of Gundersen Lutheran's laboratories. "In collecting ticks, we have found it in 10 to 15 percent of the ticks."
Only a few years ago, the disease was rare in the La Crosse area, he said.
"It is mimicking early Lyme," Jobe said. "We used to say we couldn't find ticks with Lyme south of I-90, and now we see plenty of ticks, and the same is happening with anaplasmosis."
Unlike Lyme, anaplasmosis is an infection of the white blood cells, he said. Lyme disease is primarily a skin infection that gets
into the bloodstream and spreads into the joints, Jobe said.
"We've seen an increase in anaplasmosis over the last couple years, but particularly more this year," said Dr. Todd Kowalski, a Gundersen Lutheran physician specializing in infectious diseases. "It's been on our radar for 15 years or more with cases in northern Wisconsin, but the last few years it has been emerging in our area."
Kowalski said symptoms are similar to Lyme such as fever, headache and body aches, but people don't get a rash with anaplasmosis.
"It's not a subtle disease," Kowalski said. "Most people feel worse, and it's a little bit more abrupt than Lyme with perhaps a higher fever and more severe headache and body aches.
"With anaplasmosis, patients don't wait as long to see their physician or go to urgent care or the ER," he said. "But it is a very treatable disease. "
Kowalski said anaplasmosis is treated the same way as Lyme with a tetracycline antibiotic.
"What's rewarding is when patients are put on antibiotics, within 24 to 36 hours they feel a lot better," he said.
He also said prevention measures and the tick season from early spring to late fall are the same for both diseases. Kowalski said the same person can get the two infections at the same time.
He said most La Crosse area primary care, urgent care and emergency medicine physicians are aware of anaplasmosis.
Gundersen Lutheran has conducted research on the disease and developed an accurate molecular test which detects a gene unique to the organism and it can be done rapidly, Jobe said.
He said Gundersen Lutheran also is studying the best time to use the test in the course of the disease.
Jobe said the number of Lyme cases has continued to rise every year due to a bigger deer population and mild winters.
"We have a huge deer population that supports ticks, and I think anaplasmosis has established itself in the area," Jobe said.
"It's a little too early to say if anaplasmosis will be as common as Lyme, but there is a growing concern it could become problematic," he said.

About Me
- rbowman838
- Pueblo, Colorado, United States
- I am a Chronic Lyme disease patient. I was bitten by a tick in 2001 and have been very sick ever since. Subsequently, you could say I am a Lyme disease junkie.I thirst for any information about it,any treatments, research etc. It has been a life altering experience, which has kept me away from our business and at home most of the time. I use to own A-1 Barricade and Sign Inc. here in Pueblo, Co, but because of the Lyme disease, my sons are running the business for the most part with my wife. I have been married for 48 years to a wonderful woman who is also my best friend. We have five children, all grown. Four boys live here in Pueblo and my only daughter lives in Bonney Lake, Washington. We miss her a lot. I have 7 grandchildren, which are the greatest of all. They are all exceptionally beautiful! The last thing you need to know about me is that I am proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Because of this I have the knowledge that life is eternal and that it does not end here, but it will go on after death because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This truth I bear witness of!
