A wild family of infections ; The myths that get in the way ; Bitten and broken ; How the medical world got it so wrong ; Modern plagues caused by underlying infection -- The remedy. The difficulty in diagnosis ; The road to recovery ; Mending your mind -- Conclusion: Hope around the globe.

Phillips was already a renowned physician specializing in complex, chronic diseases when he became a patient himself. He experienced firsthand the medical community's ignorance about the pathogens that underlie a deep spectrum of serious conditions-- from fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, to depression, anxiety, OCD and neurodegenerative disorders. Parish, too, watched her health spiral after top doctors missed an underlying infection that caused heart failure and other sudden debilitating physical and psychiatric symptoms. Here they work to change the current model of simply treating symptoms-- often with dangerous, lifelong drugs-- and shift the focus to finding and curing root causes of chronic diseases that affect millions around the world. -- adapted from jacket
