ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE BOOKS
I would like to provide a word of caution for those
shopping for books
on Lyme and related infections. The number of low-quality books being
published on tick-borne illnesses is increasing at an alarming rate.
Many books, some published by physicians, are nothing more than
marketing schemes. Furthermore, I feel the reviews of these books at
amazon are often questionable, at times written by people who are
financially connected. So please keep this in
mind when making your book selection.
