An Action Plan for Treating Resistant Lyme and Chronic Disease” through St. Martin’s Press, February 2017. This edition contains important scientific updates on Lyme, other borrelia species, associated co-infections (such as Babesia, Bartonella, rickettsial infections, and Tularemia) with a new chapter on pulsing and “persisters.” This chapter explains in detail the science on biofilms and persister formation for borrelia, and explains how to use Dapsone and other “persister” protocols in those failing traditional treatments. “How Can I Get Better?” also contains updates on the MSIDS model and how it impacts many chronic diseases (such as Alzheimer’s, Autism, and ALS) with a detailed addendum for health care practitioners on how to prescribe both classical and integrative therapies to help patients who are still chronically ill. The new ILADS guidelines are also highlighted, with over 800 scientific references supporting diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

As he did with his previous book, Dr. Horowitz plans to visit Capitol Hill sometime this spring and distribute copies of the book to the offices of all 535 members of Congress. The book includes details on the shortcomings of the IDSA guidelines and how the requirement for a positive result on the inaccurate CDC endorsed two-tier test contributes to widespread misdiagnosis, refusal of treatment and denial of insurance coverage.
