"A powerfully informative guide for patient and practitioner from a
misinformed past toward a future of recovery and health."
--David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times best-selling author of
Grain Brain and Brain Wash
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.
