Lyme Disease Research Database Announces "100 Perspectives on Lyme Disease Treatment and Symptoms"

The Lyme Disease Research Database (LDRD) announces a new collection of reports titled "100 Perspectives on Lyme Disease Treatment and Symptoms."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 7, 2010 --Asheville, NC (PRWEB) April 8, 2010 – The Lyme Disease Research Database (LDRD) announces a new collection of reports titled "100 Perspectives" on Lyme Disease treatment, symptoms and diagnosis, in allopathic medicine and alternative therapies. The collected works include five years of interviews featuring research scholars, Lyme-educated doctors, and other health care professionals. Also included are Lyme Success Stories, interviews with people living healthy, post-Lyme lives. "100 Perspectives" is available for immediate access on the LDRD website.


"100 Perspectives" describes how all aspects of the illness interact, not only the physical and neurological Lyme Disease symptoms, but also how a Lyme Disease patients' actions are influenced by other fundamental dimensions of the disease, such as:


* choice of Lyme disease treatment
* ability to access medical resources
* cultural opinions and beliefs about Lyme


"In my experience, the way to beat Lyme is to educate yourself and take action that will empower you to heal," says Suzanne Arthur, LDRD editor. "'100 Perspectives' illustrates how all areas of your life affect your healing. This includes four distinct yet related areas: your experience, your behavior, your community and the social systems where the medical care and resources are."

Opposing ideas and approaches can confuse patients suffering with Lyme disease symptoms:


* Natural vs. Allopathic
* Herbs vs. Antibiotics
* Mainstream vs. Alternative
* Doctors vs. Patients
* Western vs. Eastern
* IDSA vs. ILADS


The LDRD collection, "100 Perspectives," shows the value in all approaches.

Cross-training, a sports analogy that the LDRD uses for this approach, refers to the combination of areas that professional athletes work on to achieve self-mastery. The LDRD advocates that a cross-training approach is the most comprehensive way to heal from Lyme, by integrating as many approaches as possible that work for the patient.


"Lyme is very complicated, and this '100 Perspectives' organizes the fundamental aspects of Lyme disease into a framework that makes it easier to see the big picture, without losing sight of the details," says Suzanne. "Understanding these different perspectives is really important, because you can find ways to be more effective in your treatment."


The "100 Perspectives" collection is available at the LDRD website, a reliable resource for people affected by Lyme disease.
