Lyme Disease Association of Australia Have you or a loved one spent years, or even decades, managing health issues? Then this book is for you. Complex, long-term illness is common, and millions of people have been unwell for many years and unable to find answers. Without reliable diagnostic tests, diagnoses of chronic fatigue, IBS, or fibromyalgia are often made on clinical criteria. However, it is now known that if you suffer from these illnesses, or others such as adrenal dysfunction, heavy metal toxicity, biotoxin illness, or Lyme disease, there is a good chance you may have a whole suite of them. This is because of their opportunistic nature when your immune system is low and the synergistic way they work together. Because many of these illnesses have similar symptoms, it can be easy for some to go undiagnosed for a very long time. Take heart in knowing that this suite of illnesses now has a name - MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Diseases Syndrome). It is common, treatable, and you can recover. This book will tell you how. $1 from every book sale goes to the Lyme Disease Association of Australia. Introduction by Dr Richard Horowitz, MD, one of the most sought-out Lyme disease doctors in the world About the author
Juliet Wilson survived over a decade of relentless health issues and being told 'But you don't look sick, ' by dozens of doctors and specialists, before finally coming across a doctor who recognised what she was dealing with. Realising that there are so many people like her around the world, not diagnosed properly and struggling for years, Juliet felt it was important to share what she had learned, in the hope of helping others regain their health, and survive the experience along the way. Book review
Juliet has skilfully interwoven her own inspiring story throughout a carefully crafted guide for healing complex, long-term disease. Chronically ill patients and their loved ones will find this book to be concise and comprehensive, but by design it is considerate and unlikely to overwhelm those new to the holistic health recovery pathway. Holding all the information that Juliet painstakingly gathered and utilised to eventually triumph over her debilitating health symptoms, this book has the potential to save patients years of expensive and traumatic searching and suffering, and the frustration of fruitless tests and treatments. Practitioners of conventional medicine will also benefit from this book, given it includes multiple issues that need to be explored, but are too often overlooked in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness. Juliet's personal story, including the psychological suffering that prolonged illness inevitably delivers, is likely to have a lasting effect on those who harbour the tendency to consider ongoing multi-systemic illness to be psychosomatic. We appreciate that Australian Lyme and associated diseases has been courageously included and examined in this book as a potentially game-changing factor for the chronically ill. For too long, Australian patients and Lyme-aware practitioners and their stories have been ignored, disbelieved and ridiculed. As well as being a valuable guidebook for those lost in the wilderness or at the starting line, But You Look Healthy! represents another significant spanner in the works for the Lyme denial juggernaut.
