Dear Dr. Schaller,
You helped me when no one else knew what was wrong with me, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful. You were able to search out the causes of my suffering with your extensive labs and sharp mind. Thanks for getting me the help I needed, and getting me on the right track. I appreciate all that you’ve done.
I feel much better than when I first saw you, and I am excited that I finally know what is wrong with me and I am slowly improving. It is amazing how many respected physicians missed the causes of my suffering.
Thanks for everything.

My children’s future lives are better because Dr. Schaller helped fix their Mom: me. I was overwhelmed with chronic late stage lyme and after 3 years and four MD’s, I finally found Dr. Schaller and my life changed for the better within months.
Thank you!

Dear Dr. Schaller,
Thank you for such a positive doctor’s visit in Tampa, Florida last month.
For the past 15 years I have been going to numerous doctors and specialists to diagnose my illness with no results. You have done it in less than a month.
My long range goal with your guidance is to follow whatever protocol is needed for Bartonella, Lyme and Babesia. I now have hope I will start feeling well again.
I have a lot of faith and trust in you, and I would not hesitate to refer others to you.
Sincerely,

Mold, ADD, Body Pain, Arthritis, Severe Headaches, Fatigue and More
Over the last two years at least ten doctors sent me to about seven specialists for my medical troubles. All wanted to do surgeries to fix my neck and my hands which were swollen and very painful. I also had severe headaches, dizziness and arthritis like symptoms. After meeting all these physicians I was confused and demoralized. I just felt my problem was not a simple surgery or a simple medication since I seemed to have a number of new illnesses. I was about to give up.
Then I found Dr. Schaller’s main web site. I called his office and his staff were excellent in helping me get started. They spent a long time on the phone with me and returned calls quickly. I had the sense they had time for me—that was special.
Once I met Dr. J., he diagnosed me very quickly, almost at a glance, but said that to be careful we needed to run some tests. He found a number of infections, some mold biotoxins, hormone abnormalities, excess inflammation and many other things. He was able to link these things together to show I did not have 20 problems but a limited number of issues, and 3-5 positive labs each confirmed some specific illness. Then it was an unusual experience to have my problems discussed in some of Dr. Schaller’s many books, research publications or hundreds of free articles. I have never been given so much information on my health. Thankfully, the reading is optional.
When I arrived at his office my joints and muscles were killing me. I was severely fatigued. My swelling and pain causes were pin pointed in less than a week. In the few months that he’s been my doctor, I have improved tremendously without surgeries. He IS the most amazing doctor I have ever known. In my eyes, he saved my life. He is a very kind, caring, intelligent doctor, who is so far ahead of times. I would fly around the world to see him if need be. I can honestly say I have complete and total faith in him. Also, his support staff is excellent, too.
On another note, I was diagnosed ADD years ago and had brain fog for at least a year and Doc Schaller found that these symptoms were part of his diagnostic findings. Under his care, these symptoms are improving rapidly. Before Dr. J. started treating me I would not have been able to keep my thoughts together enough to even tell you about him.
Now, as you can see from what I’ve written that he’s taken care of that, too.
He IS a God send.

Dr. Schaller has done it again!
I have known Dr. James Schaller for several years now; he is brilliant, compassionate, witty, highly evolved, and most informed. I am not even slightly surprised that he could write a book on such a compelling and prescient subject as addition to pain medication. My own family’s personal struggles with drugs caused by inappropriate treatment to bipolar disorder and from misdiagnoses to horrendously advanced Lyme encouraged me to read Dr. Schaller’s newest book. I was transported by its simple clarity, vision, and elegance. The man is a genius. Thank God, drug addition to pain meds is one problem I have not experienced, but I have many friends who cannot say the same thing. I am referring ten friends to this book tonight. I can tell anyone reading this review that my decades as an English professor and medical research writer have taught me a lot. I can spot an “empty” book in about ten minutes. Dr. Schaller’s books are all “replete”; they are pithy, well-documented, and comporting. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I will pass it along to my medical doctor friends. TONIGHT!

Dr. Schaller came thru again!
Once again Dr. Schaller has provided us with a much needed and practical resource. As a therapist, I am constantly looking for material that will be a help to struggling clients: parents, teachers, spouses, and others. This book gives me exactly what I am looking for in a consise, easy to read, complete package. Thank you Dr. Schaller.
I have known Dr. James Schaller as a caring professional for over ten years. He has helped many patients in our Philadelphia clinic; patients who continue to ask for him and for his help over and over. What impressed me most while working with Dr. Schaller was his vast wealth of knowledge. Patients who we referred to him came back with lots of new treatment options, articles, books, and research articles. They greatly benefited from the education they recieved, but also from getting their diagnosis RIGHT! For many, after years of searching and years of ineffective treatment, Dr. Schaller was able to pinpoint their problem and bring them much appreciated relief. I would highly recommend Dr. Schaller to you.

I am really grateful to Dr James Schaller to have written the first exhaustive book on human babesiosis. It is an amazing sum of information that I suggest all MDs treating tick-borne diseases should read. Babesiosis literate patients wanting to know what’s happening in their bodies should also get it. It is a must have for you and your doctor, if you have caught this plague called babesiosis and try to get rid of it. The book is written in an easy to read and pleasant way (though English is not my mother language). It is a considerable source of references, treatments, interactions, helpful tips, a masterpiece of the state of art.
******Review by Sylvie Rinaudo, PhD from France about a textbook by Dr. Schaller on Babesia, an infection routinely missed.
Dr. Schaller writes in an engaging manner that draws professionals and is clear enough so those who are struggling with these symptoms can understand the etiology, description and treatment of the disease. The book freely and exhaustively shares a bibliography so those who need more already have a lot of the research sources completed for them. I am not a medical doctor but in my work with individuals, couples and families it gives me abundant resources to spot potential symptoms and refer people knowledgably for further evaluation. Dr. Schaller is a prolific writer but he takes no shortcuts in his work. Very few medical books bridge the gap from professional to lay reader, and this book makes a yeoman’s attempt, and for my money, succeeds.

An Eye-Opening Book on the largely unknown health effects from mold
Our home suffered extensive roof damage due to Hurricane Wilma, which swept through South Florida last year. Plenty of water came in through the ceiling, running down numerous walls. We tried drying the house as best as we could, but with no electricity or air conditioning for a week, there was only so much we could do.
About a month after the hurricane, our kids started showing allergy-like symptoms. I also noticed that I was having frequent headaches and generally felt run down and fatigued. My wife took our kids to their pediatrician, who prescribed allergy medications and testing for them. The medications helped only a little. Due to the significant amount of water we had in our home, I began wondering if our health problems were due to mold. So, when my kids’ next doctor’s appointment came, I took them. I asked the doctor if their symptoms — as well as my headaches — could be from mold. He pretty much laughed off the suggestion. He simply renewed my kids’ allergy medications and recommended that I see a neurologist.
Then, I read When Traditional Medicine Fails. Wow! What an eye opener! I discovered that mold can cause not only the symptoms my kids and I were suffering from, but also plenty of other health effects. Plus, I learned that many traditional physicians are simply unknowledgeable about mold-related health issues. The book also tells you how can solve many mold problems on your own. Our problem was too extensive to fix by ourselves, but with the book’s help, I was able to hire a qualified remediator who followed EPA protocols. A couple weeks after the remediation, our health problems were gone!
