This is episode 13 of the Love, Hope, Lyme podcast.

Fred Diamond's popular book, "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know" offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support.

On today's podcast, Fred interviews Lindsay Keys, co-director of the smash hit documentary "The Quiet Epidemic."

The Quiet Epidemic was released in 2022 and provides an amazing perspective on the political issues concerning Lyme disease and the CDC's unsatisfactory history acknowledging that chronic Lyme even exists.

On October 27, 2023, the CDC quietly added a page on its website that lists the bacteria that causes #Lymedisease as an infection that can cause chronic symptoms. On this show, we unpack what this really means. Is it the big deal that some think it is? Or not.

If someone you love has been afflicted with Lyme disease, listen to this podcast now.
