Author is only an "expert" in ignorance. I burned my copy.:

I destroyed my copy so that no one would ever read it and assume it had validity. This guy knows little about lyme and doesn't stay current.

Your money will be better spent buying books by Denise Lang, Karen Forschner, or Polly Murray.

Alan G. Barbour's book not worth reading
