LYME DISEASE ASSOCIATION Next Meetings Regular Monthly Meeting: Monday, August 30, 2010 @ 6:30 pm Program: Back by popular demand, Laurie Jones will be leading the discussion on eating well with Lyme disease. By now, most of of us have heard that cutting out sugar and gluten, and limiting dairy products, white potatoes and other inflammatory foods, is important to overcoming Lyme disease, but we may be struggling with putting these drastic dietary changes into action. Laurie will help us to understand the physiological reasons behind these dietary recommendations made by so many Lyme-literate practitioners; and most importantly, she'll help us put them into action with lots of great tips and resources. This is truly a very important meeting for anyone with tick-borne illnesses to attend. Knowing why dietary changes are so important gives us a reason to put them into action. Knowing how to put them into action, and what substitutes are easily available, makes it more feasible. Finding out how to be happy eating with these changes, lifts our spirits. Ultimately, feeling better after putting these dietary changes into motion, makes the whole process worth it! For more information, please e-mail us at lymedaesm@verizon.net or call Marilyn Williams at 410-726-4573. Directions From Route 13,
The Greater Salisbury Building is on the right-hand side of the street, between the Plaza Building and WMDT-TV building. The entrance is recessed a little from the sidewalk. REMEMBER - DO A TICK CHECK !! An interesting resource is now available from the Lyme Disease Association of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Recently, a discussion forum was held by a public radio station located in San Francisco. Present at the forum were Pamela Weintraub, author of the book "Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic" and Kris Newby, senior producer for the new documentary about Lyme Disease entitled, "Under Our Skin". These two women are joined later in the broadcast by Dr. Eugene Shapiro, one of the doctors who served on the IDSA's Board - developers of the Lyme guidelines which have been the center of great debate. The discussion is mediated by KQED radio, and the discussions with Pam Weintraub and Kris Newby are very informative. Later, when Dr. Shapiro joins the group, the listener can hear first hand the flip side of the argument over whether chronic Lyme exists. Dr. Shapiro discusses research used in the IDSA's guidelines, and the Board's belief that anyone suffering from Lyme disease after the prescribed two weeks of antibiotics has "post-Lyme syndrome" and not an active Lyme infection. CD's of this 52-minute panel discussion and face-off are now available through the Lyme Disease Association of the Eastern Shore of Maryland at a cost of $6 each. Copies will be available at this coming Monday's monthly meeting, and they can also be picked up from PAm Andrews or Marilyn Williams by calling 410-543-2615 or by e-mailing the Lyme Association at LDAESM@verizon.net . The Lyme Disease Association of the Eastern Shore of Maryland is continuing its efforts to disseminate materials to our community, and we hope you will find this latest resource informative.
