Riveting Memoir, “What Lurks in the Woods,” Links Lyme Disease and Alzheimer’s

Raleigh, NC, September 02, 2021 --(PR.com)-- With her premier book, “What Lurks in the Woods,” author Nicole Bell delivers a captivating and vulnerable account of her husband’s journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Unconvinced of the baffling diagnosis, Nicole used her experience as an engineer and medical device executive to wade through a medical minefield and uncover the devastating root cause of her husband's chronic illness - Lyme Disease.

This heartfelt story details the flaws in our traditional healthcare system and the staggering impact on those left behind. “Doctors weren’t interested in the cause of his decline,” Nicole relates. “His Alzheimer’s came on early, quickly, and without a known cause, and the best they could offer was a prescription that might help. But the more I dug, the more I uncovered the roots of his symptoms. Now I want to share our story so others can avoid the traps in the medical system that ensnared us.”
