Dr. Ross's Expert Review
I wrote this book for one reason: the information people need to recover from tick-borne infections was scattered across hundreds of articles on my website, and patients kept asking for it in one place. Hacking Lyme Disease is the answer. It is a compendium of my key articles from TreatLyme, rewritten and organized into a plan you can actually follow.
What is inside
The book moves from foundations to specifics. It starts with what works and what does not, how to protect the intestinal microbiome during treatment, and why some regimens fail. From there it lays out my full support protocol, then breaks into microbe-specific action plans, and finishes with honest reviews of alternative treatments like hyperthermia, Rife machines, and SOT, plus detailed chapters on specific germ-killing options.
Who it is for
I wrote it for two groups. First, people who are new to tick-borne illness and need a map before they start. Second, people who have tried regimens that did not work and want to understand what to change. The chapters on persisters and failed treatments exist because those questions fill my inbox.
What it does not do
A book is a snapshot. Medicine in this field moves, and I update my thinking on the website as the research does. The copyright is 2023, so read it as the foundation, and check TreatLyme.com for the newest articles. No book replaces a physician who knows your situation. Use this to have better conversations with your treating doctor, not instead of one.
How I Use It in My Practice
In my practice I suggest this book as a between-visits reference.
I also suggest this book for clinicians looking for ideas to manage patients. Plus people living with chronic complex illnesses will find this book useful for new ideas to discuss with their health care provider. It is also a valuable resource to understand the ins and outs of tick-borne disease and mold toxicity.
