Groundbreaking Book Series on Lyme Disease Hits the Market

Allegory Press, Hustisford, Wisconsin

"It's All In Your Head," the first 2 books in a NEW, groundbreaking 3-book series on Lyme Disease by author, activist, and Lyme patient PJ Langhoff are now available at www.allegorypress.com and soon at Amazon.com! A year in the making, these important, informative books reveal the TRUTH about Lyme disease in a never before released collection.

PJ Langhoff, the author of "The Singing Forest, a Journey Through Lyme Disease," contracted Lyme disease in 1992 and so did her family...but it took more than a dozen years to obtain an accurate diagnosis! Growing up in the midwest, Langhoff had no idea Lyme disease even existed until it touched her family personally, and she reeled at the staggering amount of physician denial of Lyme over the years. She heard repeatedly that there "is no Lyme disease in Wisconsin." And yet, Langhoff watched helplessly as her family and her own bulls-eye rashes, fatigue, joint pains, Bell's palsy, neurological issues, cognitive decline, depression, and even partial paralysis, and other symptoms went astoundingly untreated. She fought to find physicians willing to treat once she was finally accurately diagnosed and was amazed that current treatment recommendations of short-term oral antibiotics did nothing to erradicate a very complex illness.

In the meantime Langhoff's family life fell apart before the author was treated with long-term combinations of oral and intravenous medications which saved her life and recaptured her health. During the process, her family suffered through 10 years in the legal system and Langhoff lost custody of her own children and was accused of being "mentally ill" and "delusional" for believing that she and her children had Lyme disease despite medical history and laboratory evidence!

Langhoff fought back continually and worked hard to establish support groups and web sites for Lyme patients, offering information, support and a counseling ministry. Langhoff has since written a number of medical books and peer-reviewed medical articles along with Lyme-literate physicians to help raise awareness about this complex and poorly understood illness which is reaching epidemic proportions globally.

Lyme Disease is NOT just a rash and knee illness! Learn why in this unique book series, uncovering the truth about Lyme!

"It's All In Your Head," Patient Stories From the Front Lines: Intimate Aspects of Chronic and Neuropsychiatric Lyme Disease

In this first book, the author covers the history of Lyme disease, the testing inaccuracies, co-infections, the herxheimer effect, Munchausen's, plus a half dozen patient stories including Langhoff's personal story of how she and her two children suffer from Lyme and what it put them through during 10 years in the legal system. Read how Langhoff had to turn in her own daughter to legal authorities in a heart-wrenching decision in order to try to get her child help for severe neuropsychiatric depression. In this book, Langhoff and a dozen other patients fully and accurately describe life with chronic and neuropsychiatric Lyme. A must-read for patients, physicians and support persons of those who have been personally touched by chronic illness. Foreword by renowned Lyme physician Dr. Joseph Jemsek. Cover art by young Connecticut Lyme artist, Stephen Mills.

"It's All In Your Head," Around the World in 80 Lyme Patient Stories:  
Valid Reasons to Debate Current Treatment Guidelines

This amazing second book contains collections of short stories from 80 Lyme patients from 23 US states, 5 Canadian provinces/territories and 11 countries abroad. This sampling of the global presence of Lyme disease tells it like it is, by the patients themselves. An honest, revealing collection of information which touches on every aspect of Lyme disease, and reveals also that transmission may occur in methods not previously acknowledged. Absolutely a must-read for everyone who wishes to learn why an epidemic is being ignored and the patients are being refused a diagnosis and treatment! A true look at life with Lyme disease, from the patients' perspective. Foreword by renowned Lyme-literate physician and researcher, Dr. Joseph Burrascano, Jr. Cover art by Canadian Lyme artist Valerie White.

The third book in the series (coming soon):

The Baker's Dozen and the Lunatic Fringe: How "Junk Science" Shifted the Lyme Disease Paradigm is a thorough scientific analysis from the patient's perspective and presents an exhaustive review of the science, research, politics, connections, bioagent history and the TRUTH about the Lyme disease paradigm, the "silent" epidemic. Written in a well-communicated format that is hard to put down. Learn the who's, how's, what's, and why's of Lyme disease...who is profiting on the backs of ill Lyme patients, how biowarfare impacts the Lyme arena, why physicians are refusing to diagnose and treat patients, and what must be done to change the current paradigm. The book includes a baffling chapter on physician "diagnoses" which leave the reader perplexed.

TRULY a power-packed PUNCH of information never-before released series! Standard, Large-Print and E-book editions available. A portion of book proceeds are donated to partnering charities.

"PJ Langhoff's books help us to better understand the utter magnitude of the suffering and dismissal endured by millions of people across the globe...and most importantly speaks of the political controversy and the bizarre manner in which the medical community is reacting to and at the same time, ignoring the extent of the seriousness of this disease"...I highly recommend to those who want to better understand the magnitude and reality of this extremely controversial, chronic, relapsing infection." --Marjorie Tietjen, Reviewer Book Pleasures.com
