What if your 'incurable' chronic illness could actually be undiagnosed (but treatable) Lyme disease?

Do you have a host of chronic, life-altering symptoms that have baffled your doctors and left you with no clear answers? Or have you been diagnosed with a debilitating chronic illness like fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, or even a serious neurological disorder like MS, ALS or Parkinson's?

What if, like thousands of other people, the real root of your chronic illness has actually been the treatable condition of chronic Lyme disease, but no one you've consulted has yet known how to rule it in...or out...of your diagnostic picture? What if, instead of blaming yourself for not trying harder to cope or not being tougher while living with your pain, fatigue, brain fog and other significant symptoms, you found out that you actually had a bacterial-based illness needing specific medical treatment? How would having a treatment that finally sends you on your path to wellness change your life?

Author Lisa Dennys took on the role of relentless health care detective and spent over 30 years on a personal search for wellness. Diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, heavy metal toxicity, adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism, Lisa tried everything to get well. In this process, she was forced by illness to take extended leave from her career paths as an Occupational Therapist, Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture and Life Coach. She spent several hundred thousand dollars pursuing endless rounds of diverse health care approaches, just trying to maintain function in her day- to-day life. Continuing to look deeper for medical answers, she was finally diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease and several co-infections in early 2015 and began a targeted treatment program.

If you suspect that your chronic illness could actually be Lyme disease and you want to fast track your way to a clear diagnosis so you can get on with your recovery, this book is for you. Rich with varied experiences as a patient, practitioner and coach, Lisa shares her practical and hard-won coping strategies.
