S BUHNER’S HEALING LYME 2ND EDITION
Donation protected
This gofundme page has been set up to ask for your support in publishing the new Healing Lyme, revised, second edition by Stephen Harrod Buhner.
Herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner has become well known in the Lyme community for his dedicated work in developing protocols for those suffering from Lyme disease. His book Healing Lyme: Natural Healing & Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis & It's Co-infections has become an essential guide to lyme infection and its treatment. As many of you know, this book was the first to look deeply at Borrelia organisms (correlating hundreds of journal articles on the disease), understand what they do in the body, and devise a protocol to counteract the Borrelia-initiated processes. As Neil Nathan, M.D. comments (in the forward to the new edition) . . .
"With the publication of the first edition of Healing Lyme in 2004, Stephen Buhner brought a breath of fresh air to a troubled subject. For those of us who were already wrestling with treating these complicated infections. Stephen tilted the landscape for us by encouraging us to do something unheard of: to look at these infections from the microbe’s perspective, not ours. He realized, early on, that these were not the kind of infections we were used to seeing, and that these microbes were profoundly altering our immune system within minutes of beginning the infectious process, and this led to dysregulation of inflammation, which led to severe neurological, arthritic, muscular, endocrine, emotional and cognitive shifts which needed to be understood and taken into account so that healing could occur. For those of us in the field, this information was exceptionally useful and allowed us to provide much better medical care for our struggling patients. "
And as Rosemary Gladstar has commented . . .
"Brilliant as ever, Buhner once again brings us cutting-edge research about one of the more invasive and misdiagnosed epidemics of our time. Healing Lyme Disease Coinfections is not only a resounding wakeup call for all health care professionals but also offers an elegant and potent paradigm of healing disease that is synergistic, broad, and deeply caring. Buhner has created a brilliant, hopeful resource for everyone affected with Lyme and/or its coinfections."
And a quick look on the internet and Lyme support sites will find scores of comments by people who have used Stephen’s work or worked directly with Julie McIntyre that reveal how Stephen’s protocols have turned their lives around.
If you don’t know of Stephen’s work, here is a video of the introductory morning to Stephen’s 2013 Massachusetts’ workshop on Lyme and Coinfections:

HEALING LYME, REVISED SECOND EDITION
The original edition of Healing Lyme was released in 2005 and and included very brief looks at babesia, ehrlichia, and bartonella. Over the past decade, Stephen and his partner Julie McIntyre have had contact with over 25,000 people with Lyme or its various coinfections; their understanding of the organisms, the problems they cause, and herbal interventions has increased significantly. Stephen spent the past 4 years researching and writing extensive works on six of the major coinfections of Lyme (in two books, published by Inner Traditions) and now, this updated version of Healing Lyme.
This new edition is three times longer than the original edition, includes a synthesis of several thousand journal articles on Lyme, a depth look at two lesser known coinfections (Chlamydia and Rickettsia), and an extensive, and much more sophisticated protocol for treating Lyme disease (and those coinfections), most especially neurological Lyme infections.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
The publishing costs for the book are high. The total cost will be around $30,000. About half of that is design, editorial, proof reading, and readying the copy for the printer; the other half is printing costs. The bills will come due for this in September/October of 2015. We are hoping that the many people who have benefitted from Stephen’s work will help us raise HALF of that amount, $15,000, to help him with the publishing costs.
As many of you know, Stephen rarely asks for any support for his work. He does not sell products or work to financially capitalize on his work in the field. Nevertheless, those of us setting up this site are asking for your support at this crucial stage in order to take the financial pressure off Stephen and his family.
Any support is greatly appreciated. However, as an added incentive, for a donation of $15 or more:
1.) For those located in the United States:

OR (also for a donation of $15 or more)
