I hope the moderators don't mind me promoting this - but it's free and valuable to everyone on here.

This book is FREE from Sunday, November 29 until Wednesday, December 2nd.

It's about:

• Introductory anatomy that everyone should know

• Why metabolism is important and how it slows due to infections

• How poor metabolic function undermines treatment

• Why Lyme patients are generally underfed

• Food, supplements and practices that speed and slow metabolism and your infection fighting power

• How adverse drug reactions are related to metabolism

• The importance of mitochondria in energy production

• How solely focusing on “bug killing” can worsen your condition

I downloaded the book from amazon (it was actually free) and have read the first 30 or so pages.

Amazingly, given the serious subject matter, this is actually a fun read, which makes it easy to zip through the pages. Well organized brief chapters are lyme-brain friendly.

As I haven't read the whole thing, can't give a final opinion but what appealed to me was someone taking a look at these extreme diets we're told to follow and asking whether this really makes sense. Too often, I find it's afternoon and I haven't eaten at all since I had no appetite for the "allowed" foods, which can't be good. I'm hoping this book provides some guidance on a more balanced what works for you approach.

I'm predisposed to be interested in this approach since I discovered by accident that what helps me when I'm herxing or feeling really toxic is a baked potato, yes, with butter. Supposed to be a big fat naughty no-no (carbs! dairy!), but it invariably helps my digestion and bowels, gets rid of the headache and shakiness.

I'm writing this now since there is a limited period of time when the book is available for free.

Oh my gosh ziege you do the same thing I do. A baked potato! Although I do put a pat of grass fed cow butter on it, I also put a huge dollop of Wallaby's organic Plain Yogurt. Wallaby's has the highest protein of any yogurt I can get around here. This is my go to comfort food when I just don't want breakfast.

PS - whaaaaa I don't have a kindle.

There is also Kindle Cloud Reader which allows you to read Kindle books in your web browser if you don't have a Kindle device.

Wallaby yogurt--you can milk a wallaby? Joke.

You don't need a kindle device, you can get a Kindle app on your computer. It's free (the app).

ziege, I eat my fair share of potatoes, too. I used to be low-carb to "kill the bugs" bug now that I am back on carbs I feel good enough to weight train and my hormone levels have regulated. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book and it would be great if you wrote an honest review on Amazon so that more people will give the book a chance!

I love the joke. It made me giggle!!
I am still holding on to Windows 7 right now and will soon be going to 10. I think the first update to 10 just came out and one friend said he had trouble. So I am waiting for those bugs to get fixed. I wonder how well the app will transfer. Maye Santa should bring me an iPad?

Thanks itsnotjustlyme! I just got it and look forward to reading it!

Thanks so much itssnotjustlyme. I read your book this morning. Very interesting. What an amazing thing you did putting this information together. I definitely got the point that everyone is different, and yet I find myself curious about what your diet has ended up looking like. Would you be willing to share that with me? I feel quite lost at sea with diet, definitely undereating and struggling to "re-feed". You can message me directly.

I am really, really sorry, but we can't allow advertising on the forum - maybe a link in your sig line???

"Advertising or spam is defined as posting a link for the purpose of selling, soliciting or promoting something."

I hate doing this, it's like turning down requests for people to post their "GoFundMe" page or whatever. I hate doing this, but Moderators here are first rule keepers, then we are helpers of our community.

So I'm taking the link out, hopefully ItsnotjustLyme will put the link in their sig line.

I'm so sorry, all.

Thank you for telling us! I found the book (I figured it out even though the link isn't there anymore) and it's on my kindle app. I will be reading it this week.

Also I had no idea I could put a Kindle app on my computer. That's awesome. I hate reading books on my tiny mini ipad but a computer app would be so much easier to read and navigate.
