Lyme Disease Resources: Reading, Documentaries and Trusted Links
Finding reliable Lyme disease resources in Australia takes patience. This page brings together the books, documentaries, and external links that Amina Eastham-Hillier N.D. refers her clients to most often, drawn from 30 years of clinical practice supporting people with Lyme disease, chronic stealth infections, and mould illness. Whether you are newly diagnosed, deep into a support protocol, or a carer trying to understand what your loved one is going through, these resources offer grounded, evidence-informed perspectives to complement your care.
- Amina's own book, "Lyme Natural", is available and provides an integrated naturopathic framework for Lyme disease, co-infections, and mould illness.
- Several important documentaries give voice to people whose symptoms have been dismissed or misunderstood for years.
- Australian Lyme disease organisations offer community support, advocacy, and up-to-date information relevant to the local context.
- All external resources are offered as education only and do not replace personalised medical or naturopathic care.
Amina's Book: Lyme Natural
"Lyme Natural: Integrated Naturopathy for Lyme Disease, Co-infections, and Mould Illness" is written by Amina Eastham-Hillier N.D. and draws directly on her experience supporting well over 8,000 chronic cases across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the USA, Canada, and Asia.
The book presents a structured naturopathic framework: how Lyme and its co-infections present clinically, how mould illness complicates recovery, and how nutrition, herbal medicine, and nutrigenomics can be used alongside conventional care to support the body. It is written for both patients and the practitioners who support them.
If you are looking for a single reference that reflects Amina's integrated approach, this is the place to start.
Documentaries Worth Watching
These documentaries helped bring Lyme disease into public conversation and continue to be valuable for patients, carers, and clinicians wanting to understand the lived experience of chronic tick-borne illness.
Many of Amina's clients have found them validating at a time when their symptoms were being questioned by other practitioners.
- "Invisibly Ill: A Stealth Reality, Part 1" by Bec Mills (beyondthebandaid.com.au) - an Australian perspective on stealth illness and the diagnostic challenges patients face.
- "Under Our Skin" by Andy Abrahams Wilson - the landmark documentary following patients, scientists, and doctors navigating the controversy surrounding chronic Lyme disease.
- "Putting Lyme Behind You (DVD 1)" by Dr Joseph Burrascano, Californian Lyme Disease Association and Gordon Medical Associates - clinical perspectives on managing Lyme disease.
- "Putting Lyme Behind You (DVD 2): The Physician Panel" by Dr Joseph Burrascano, Californian Lyme Disease Association and Gordon Medical Associates - a panel discussion on treatment approaches.
Australian Lyme Disease Organisations
The following organisations provide information, advocacy, and community connection specifically relevant to people in Australia. Amina recommends them to clients who want to connect with others navigating similar experiences or who need support engaging with the medical system.
These are independent organisations, not affiliated with Lyme Natural. Links are provided as a service to patients and are not an endorsement of any specific treatment claim.
- Karl McManus Foundation (karlmcmanusfoundation.org.au) - an Australian foundation dedicated to Lyme disease research, awareness, and patient support.
- Lyme Disease Association of Australia (lymedisease.org.au) - the peak Australian patient advocacy body, with resources on testing, medical navigation, and community support.
- Beyond the Band Aid (beyondthebandaid.com.au) - community resources and documentary content focused on stealth illness in Australia.
Practitioner and Wellness Resources
Amina also points clients toward practitioners and wellness resources she regards as aligned with an integrative approach to chronic illness. These are not referrals, and Lyme Natural does not have a commercial relationship with any of the following.
Noosa Holistic Health (noosaholistichealth.com) offers naturopathy, Chinese herbal medicine, and acupuncture and is a local Sunshine Coast option for people wanting in-person integrative support.
Angel Mothers (angelmothers.com) focuses on natural parenting and healthy recipes, a resource many clients with children find useful alongside their own health management.
A Note on Using These Resources
Information from books, documentaries, and websites is a starting point, not a substitute for personalised assessment. Lyme disease, co-infections, and mould illness present differently in every person, and what helps one patient may not be appropriate for another.
Amina's consultations are available online and by phone, making naturopathic support accessible anywhere in Australia and internationally. If you would like to discuss how any of these resources relate to your own situation, a consultation is the right next step.
All naturopathic support offered through Lyme Natural is intended to complement, not replace, your existing medical care.
