About this ebook
"A powerfully informative guide for patient and practitioner from a misinformed past toward a future of recovery and health" (David Perlmutter, MD).
In this important and timely book, Steven Phillips, MD, and his former patient, Sony singer-songwriter Dana Parish, reveal striking evidence that a range of common infections, from COVID-19 to Lyme, cause a variety of autoimmune, psychiatric, and chronic conditions. Chronic explores the science behind what makes them difficult to diagnose and treat, debunks widely held beliefs, and provides solutions that empower sufferers to reclaim their lives.
After nearly dying from his own mystery illness, Dr. Phillips 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 twelve top doctors missed the underlying infections that caused heart failure and other sudden debilitating symptoms. Now, they've come together with a mission: to change the current model of simply treating symptoms and shift the focus to finding and curing root causes of chronic diseases that affect millions around the world.
"This book shines an alarming light on emerging infections that cause chronic illnesses. Brimming with bulletproof science, Chronic is an insightful clarion call for more attention to this plague of the twenty-first century." —Sanjay Gupta, MD

Can't wait to get my own copy. And lobbying my public library for multiple copies, since so many in my mid-size community suffer from inadequately treated in persistent infections. I expect this to join my reference library, oft referred to. Most grateful to hear from qualified experts with lived experiences.
