Chronic Disease

In this timely book, Steven Phillips, MD, and his former patient, Sony singer-songwriter Dana Parish, reveal striking evidence that a broad range of common infections, from COVID-19 to Lyme and many others, 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 by doctors and patients alike, and provides solutions that empower sufferers to reclaim their lives.

Chronic Kidney Disease: Top 10 Crucial Facts by Dr. Renata Hensleigh is a clear, comprehensive guide to one of the most overlooked yet widespread health conditions of our time. CKD is a silent, progressive illness that often advances unnoticed until significant damage is done. Millions live with it without knowing—until symptoms emerge in its later stages, when treatment options are fewer and outcomes less favourable. Dr.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading public health problem worldwide. It has been estimated to affect about 13.4% of the population.

You may not know that you have Lyme. It can mimic every disease process, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, autoimmune conditions like MS, psychiatric conditions like depression and anxiety, and cause significant memory and concentration problems, mimicking early dementia.

Imani Perry’s Audible Original A Dangerously High Threshold for Pain tells the dramatic story of her ongoing struggle with lupus—an autoimmune disease that attacks multiple organ systems—and what we can all learn from those who are grappling with chronic illness. It’s a powerful and poetic story that evokes the works of Susan Sontag, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Audre Lorde.

Are you sick, but can't find any answers why? Do you have a seemingly unconnected collection of symptoms that leave doctors guessing? Or have you been diagnosed, but found that none of the treatments seems to make a difference? You may have Lyme disease and not even know it. Known as "the great imitator", Lyme disease and its associated co-infections can mimic the symptoms of and often be misdiagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and even depression.

Feeling like your body is working against you? You’re not alone. Millions of people live with chronic inflammation, often without realizing the impact it’s having on their well-being – until the symptoms become too big to ignore. In fact, inflammation is estimated to be a factor in up to 80% of all major diseases. That’s a huge number. Whether it’s persistent joint pain that flares up unexpectedly or constant fatigue that leaves you drained, chronic inflammation can quietly shape your daily life.

In 2008 Dr. Afrin started coming to understand that a newly recognized type of mast cell disease, now called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), was the underlying diagnosis in many patients he was seeing who were each suffering large assortments—quite different from one patient to the next—of chronic multisystem inflammatory illnesses of unclear cause.
