This is episode 12 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 Dr. Daniel Kinderlehrer, author of "Recovery from Lyme Disease: The Integrative Medicine Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Tick-Borne Illness."

When Fred wrote his book "Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know," he didn't even know the term "Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD)."

In the course of his research for the book, he met many LLMDs and many of them chose to treat this disease after they or someone they were close with contracted the disease.

Listen to his thoughts on what the typical Western medicine practitioner gets wrong and why it's historically been so challenging for Lyme survivors to get the best medical treatment.

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