Good overview of Lyme disease and what the bacteria does to your body. Good step by step process to help eliminate the bacteria and heal your immune system. Nothing really stands out though, very similar advice every naturopath gives.
The best part of the book was the section on natural herbal supplements. He lists multiple by all sorts of doctors, so he isn’t just pushing his own stuff. I haven’t tried them yet but likely will soon (can report back if they work).

Despite 10+ years of experience with tick infections in our family, I still learned some new information from this book. Since we mostly addressed things like gut health, diet, and inflammation already, I focused in on his treatment chapters, which were eye-opening for me. I discovered we have probably been on the wrong protocol for us and as a result of this book, my son and I are both trying a new protocol. Time will tell if it works better for us, but I am excited to have a new path to try. T

I can't imagine this is the same book other people are raving about- I found it confusing and the opposite of helpful.
Since I live in the middle of nowhere and the only doctor here shrugged at the idea of my having Lyme disease, I knew I had to do my own research. I was so happy to come across this book - but had so many problems with it.
1) When listing different treatment protocols, it would have been a lot less confusing if they were first numbered and, under each topic, included a list of the ...more

Overall, I found this book to be painfully basic for such a complex topic. In the first 100 or so pages, the science is very dumbed down providing only a surface overview (that anyone already fighting this disease would be informed upon). Also, be forewarned that his diet recommendations are predominately vegetarian and still include a lot of grains and high lectin foods- which is very contradictory to the other major Lyme researchers. I would skip reading this one and focus on the diet and rese

While this book has some helpful information in it, Ingels's tone and approach didn't resonate with me.
He first says that Lyme tests are notoriously unreliable, missing lab-cultured Lyme a good portion of the time, even, and then declares that it's still important to get these tests done anyway.
He advocates a trial-and-error approach, which is understandable due to the complicated nature of Lyme, but he also tends to assume that we all have unlimited (or nearly unlimited) resources with which to ...more

I personally do not have Lyme (that I know of) but have many people in my immediate family who do. This book is not a Lyme bible by any means, but the doc is pretty open and frank about their symptoms and experiences and what worked for them. They give plenty of ideas, options, and resources to try both for those who have Lyme, as well as general health boosting practices (i.e. reducing stress and toxins in life).

I appreciate that this at least appears to be a very thoroughly researched and scientific treatment of Lyme, which embraces both the western and eastern methods of treating illness.
So I'm starring it on the approach and potential, rather than on practicality, since I haven't been able to utilize the treatment methods. ...more

Must Have! This straightforward guide from the doctor/patient/author who gets Lyme disease. His friendly voice has lightened my despair around this on again, off again disease. I've been following his advise and within two weeks felt remarkably better. This book is worth way more than the price on the dust jacket especially when you use it as Dr. Ingels instructs.

Eh. Didn’t like the formatting of the book. Really weird and confusing.

I read this book because I was diagnosed with Lyme and found it extremely insightful and helpful. I learned so much about the effects of Lyme, the faulty tests, and how unreliable the typical solution of antibiotics seems to be. Great read! I recommend it to everyone that is diagnosed or curious about he disease.
