Around 300,000 people contract the tick borne disease every year. We discuss what you should know about contracting, diagnosing and treating Lyme disease.

This should be an interesting show.  Neil Spector, author of "Gone In A Heartbeat: A Physician's Search For True Healing," and Dr. John Aucott should have some interesting commentary. 

Dr. Spector's heart was so badly damaged by Lyme disease that a heart transplant was required to save his life. Dr. Aucott is a leading researcher, whose groundbreaking SLICE study focuses on the realities of treating chronic Lyme patients.  

Around 300,000 new cases of Lyme Disease are reported every year. And experts say the areas the tick borne disease is found is expanding. An update on contracting, diagnosing and treating Lyme disease.
