This book investigates the science, history, and politics of Lyme disease through the lens of a journalist whose family has been deeply affected by the illness. It explores the significant rise of Lyme disease and the atypical presentations that complicate its diagnosis and treatment. The narrative delves into the intense controversy and uncertainty surrounding Lyme disease, revealing a major medical dispute. The author shares her personal journey after she, her husband, and their two sons fell seriously ill with Lyme starting in the 1990s. From the microbe responsible for the infection to treatment options and the types of practitioners involved, Lyme disease is a contentious issue. With over 200,000 new cases estimated annually by the CDC, it has become the fastest-spreading infectious disease in the U.S., surpassing AIDS and TB. Alarmingly, many cases go undiagnosed as the disease often evades blood tests, and not all patients show the classic symptoms. This leads to once-treatable infections becoming chronic, resulting in disabling conditions. The book discusses the reasons behind the Lyme epidemic's escalation, the dismissal of patients, and potential solutions to increase awareness and find a cure. It provides a comprehensive overview of Lyme disease's past, present, and future, highlighting the urgency of addressing this growing epidemic.

How does a mother's tone of voice affect her unborn child? What kind of music, if any, should a child be exposed to in the womb? Can parents influence the predispositions of their child to traits like depression, or something as elusive as basic goodness? Thanks to revolutionary discoveries in neuroscience and developmental psychology in recent years, says Dr. Thomas Verny, we now know more about these questions than ever. In Pre-Parenting , Dr. Verny translates this research into practical advice for parents and parents-to-be.Pre-Parenting explains how even the most ordinary events can evoke a cascade of biological changes in a baby -- not only in the brain but also in the immune system and throughout the body. Every experience, from a baby's trip down the birth canal to the way she is held or spoken to, can shape her health and personality. An internationally recognized expert in early human development, Dr. Verny shows parents how to use this new information to create an ideal environment for their babies, enhance their babies' intelligence and social skills, and become better parents through "conscious parenting." Insightful and encouraging, Pre-Parenting is an invaluable guide for parents who want to help actualize their child's full potential, beginning with conception.

The authors guide expecting mothers and their partners through a nine-month program of massage, music, and dance, so they may learn how to analyze their fears during pregnancy.
