Kingston, NY (1888PressRelease)
October 08, 2009 - Patricia L. Gerbarg, MD, internationally renowned integrative mental health expert and pioneer of CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine), will discuss treatments to relieve post-Lyme disease symptoms with host Kenneth Lesser on the Advanced Living radio program on Saturday, October 10, 2009, at 4:00 to 5:00 pm PT (7:00 to 8:00 pm ET) live on the Internet at bbsradio.com, Channel One, and will be archived for future listening.
Following antibiotic treatment, many people are left with post-Lyme symptoms that include fatigue, fibromyalgia, weakness, cognitive deficits, memory loss, and other neurological challenges.
Dr. Gerbarg will discuss how to promote optimal wellness for those suffering from the long-term effects of Lyme by improving brain cell functions, mitochondrial energy production, and cellular repair mechanisms. She will include treatments from the highly-praised new book she co-authored with Drs. Richard P. Brown and Dr. Philip Muskin, How to Use Herbs, Nutrients, and Yoga in Mental Health Care (WW Norton, 2009).
According to statistics, over 20,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported in the U.S. every year, and early detection and treatment is critical.
Dr. Gerbarg is a clinically trained psychiatrist and Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychiatry at New York Medical College. She graduated from Harvard Medical School and the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. In addition to her clinical practice in Kingston, NY, she provides consultation and facilitates the development of research projects on the health benefits of mind-body practices for recovery from mass disasters such at the September 11th World Trade Center attacks, the southeast Asian tsunami, and military personnel. She and her co-author husband, psychiatrist Richard P. Brown, MD, maintain a web site providing health information and resources at HaveAHealthyMind.com.
Kenneth Lesser’s Advanced Living radio show explores all areas of alternative health and wellness solutions with expert care providers. Lesser is an ordained healing minister, a practitioner and teacher of Jin Shin Jyutsu (an ancient art of harmonizing body, mind and spirit with gentle touch), a certified master and practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming, a graphologist, a reflexologist, and a certified Survival Awareness Formula (SAF, an advanced biofeedback technique with counseling protocols for releasing negative effects of physical, mental, and emotional trauma) practitioner.
