The book that set the off the growth of the study of chronic, neurotoxin-mediated illnesses. From Chronic Lyme Disease in the USA to cylindrospermopsis in Florida to "sick buildings" world wide, the examples of new illnesses caused by biotoxins are all around us. This book is a "must-read" for any patient, physician, academic and researcher alike who is confronted with illnesses that don't get better with antibiotics or passage of time, for whom "all tests are negative," but who continue to struggle with chronic fatigue, muscle aches, cramps, weakness, headache, shortness of breath, sinus congestion, abdominal pain, cognitive deficits (including memory, confusion, disorientation), neurologic symptoms and more.

This is the primer to guide you into the world of neurotoxins, with political and economic implications from illnesses caused by our changing lifestyle and our chemical alteration of ecological systems worldwide.
