Before diving into the top ten books on Lyme disease, it is essential to understand the significance of educating yourself about this condition.
Lyme disease is often referred to as the "great imitator" because the symptoms can mimic those of many other conditions.
As a result, it can be challenging for clients and practitioners alike, to find answers to their symptoms, leading to prolonged suffering for many individuals.
Here at CBH Energetics, we do NOT provide a diagnosis or treatment.
We do however offer a testing option for practitioners that harnesses the energy of their client, and many of the chronic illness community have found relief in bioenergetics.
Recognizing symptoms is one thing.
It's also imperative that you learn about the other conditions, bacteria and parasites, that go along with Lyme.
Lyme is a wild ride, as the founder of CBH Energetics will tell you.
Helping your clients learn how to prevent tick bites and reduce their risk of contracting Lyme disease in the first place is important.
By reading books and scientific articles on Lyme disease, especially those with case studies, you as a practitioner can gain insights into the experiences of others who have been affected by this condition.
You'll also gain insights into the controversy surrounding this condition (psst: if you choose to read the book Bitten).
