The Lyme Disease Solution by Dr. Kenneth Singleton – Book Review
This very special book on Lyme disease, “Lyme Disease Solution” by Dr. Kenneth Singleton, is written by a man who understands this infectious disease on many levels, and offers a unique hope for those who are willing to take responsibility for their own basic lifestyle, and to choose a healthy foundation from which to beat back this intelligent bacteria, Borrelia bergdoferi.
Ranging from the most basic aspects of prevention (in the case of Lyme, an ounce of preventions is most likely worth several tons of cure – not a measly pound!) to more sophisticated diet protocols for strengthening and supporting our struggling immune systems, Dr. Singleton carefully presents a series of treatment therapies based upon the underlying health of the affected individuals, the length of infection and the determination (and self-control) of the suffering victims.
Such a “meaty” book could easily disintegrate into hopelessness and/or despair given the lack of sophisticated doctors who understand this vicious and intensely complex bacteria (and could support the treatments recommended in the book), especially due to the fact that Dr. Singleton places the responsibility of finding recovery (or cure) squarely on the patients shoulders. This shift is clearly necessary from a realistic standpoint (certainly not due to any ideal) to work in conjunction with antibiotics, supplements, diets and/or fitness routines.
The effort to read such a hard-hitting book may prove to be overwhelming for the Lyme patient struggling with Lyme “fog” and extreme mental disorders, however it is an excellent book for the caregivers who are oftentimes left in the dark without any understanding of the issues facing their suffering loved ones.
In addition to thoroughly describing the various antibiotic protocols along with several alternative healing protocols, Dr. Singleton offers a very hopeful protocol addition of “LDN Therapy”, which stands for low dose Naltrexone, a drug initially approved for treatment for drug addictions (esp. narcotics such as heroine, morphine and opium.) It seems that LDN actively blocks the receptors in the brain that drive the cravings for the narcotics.
As a result of the testing of LDN Therapy for research as a treatment for Lyme, it was found to actually assist in total pain management as well as measurable enhancement of normal immune function. This opens a potentially new area of research for those who do not respond to other more standardized treatments for pain management and immune system support such as Glutathione, high doses of fatty acids and the generally accepted list of supplements described by Dr. Burrascano in his “Treatment Guidelines for Lyme Disease” which you can download here.
Other notable additions to Dr. Singleton’s book are detailed instructions on detoxification and the critical importance of regular detoxification programs, and also the imperative focus on a healthy diet – not just to refrain from carcinogenic ingredients and/or trans fats and sugars, but very specific diets to support the over-stressed intestines as they process the mass neurotoxins from dying spirochetes and again, to support the immune system.
On a final note, it is certainly worth mentioning the importance of positive thinking and health-related affirmations that Dr. Singleton insists be integrated into every Lyme protocol.
Evidently due to the length of this book Dr. Singleton was not able to further develop the importance of such affirmations or to include any case histories to give credit to these strategies, but this is balanced by the clear conviction of Dr. Singleton’s personal belief in a “power beyond our own” and the necessity of reaching out for supernatural power to overcome this stealthy life threatening disease.
If you have not read this book, you can order it from the link to Amazon below. It should be on every bookcase of those who have Lyme disease or who genuinely care about those with Lyme disease.
