GREAT MEETING PLANNED FOR MONDAY. We are ending the year with another great speaker for our meeting to be held: Monday, November 25th 6:30 p.m. Greater Salisbury Building (next to WMDT-TV) 200 Camden Street (not Avenue) downtown Salisbury, Maryland Dr. Kathy Spreen, is the author of Compendium of Tick-borne Diseases - A Thousand Pearls, a comprehensive overview of tick-borne diseases including descriptions, diagnostic approaches, treatment options and an array of management plans. The text was designed to educate health care providers, patients and caretakers about the risks posed by tick-borne illnesses. Previously, the contradictory, confusing and inflammatory rhetoric available made proper diagnosis and treatment of these cases difficult, if not impossible. Because Dr. Spreen compiled, interpreted, and consolidated expert opinion, medical literature, and hands-on experience into one volume, the reader finally has an accessible resource that will aid in collaborative, practical and compassionate decision-making. Dr. Spreen focuses on creative strategies that allow the best chance for successful outcomes. She dispels harmful myths and provides a solid scientific foundation for the practical guidance incorporated into this text. At our meeting this coming Monday, Dr. Spreen will be providing clear and concise help with diagnosing and treating tick-borne diseases. As many of you already know, Lyme disease is only one of the illnesses we can get from a tick bite, and it is important to treat other common tick-borne diseases, such as Bartonella, Babesia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Erlichia, and others before the patient can be returned to good health. The key is learning to recognize these tick-borne co-infections, and determining the best treatment. Dr. Spreen will provide vauable insights to help medical professionals and patients alike with this process. Dr. Spreen is a doctor, Lyme patient, and caretaker. She earned Masters degrees in biochemistry and public health and board certifications in preventative medicine and family medicine. She was a physician in the military working in emergency medicine, as well as writing the procedures currently used to manage chemical and radiation casualties. During many years in the pharmaceutical industry, she substantially contributed to over a dozen successful new drug applications as she conducted clinical research trials around the world. She was closely involved with medical communication and managed large groups of scientific writers and editors as she garnered numerous performance and technical awards. Her diverse experience and common-sense approach make her uniquely qualitied to gather, interpret, and condense this information into a usable and practical form. Dr. Spreens book, Compendium of Tick-borne Diseases (823 pages) will be on sale at the meeting for $60 (50% off the retail price of $120). It would make a heck of a nice Christmas gift for the Lyme patient in your life! We hope you will be able to join us for this great presentation which will be our last meeting for 2013.
