Product Description
Autoimmune disorders are not well understood and therefore difficult to treat. The result is that there are millions of Americans who are suffering because they aren't being diagnosed properly, or getting the correct medical treatment they need. Here, Dr. Edelson discusses the most common types of autoimmune diseases, including lupus, Chron's disease, thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome, outlining their symptoms, causes, and risk factors. He describes his own revolutionary program for treating the root of all autoimmune disorders-without drugs-providing readers with new hope for getting back on the road to better health.

 Outstanding book and very prompt service July 27, 2010
Wilbert J. Morell
This book had a lot of good and accurate information. Service from Amazon was also outstanding. I continue to have good experiences with Amazon and my choices of books I purchase from them. Book arrived in half the time they estimated, which was good becasue I think they way overestimate standard delivery times.
 Pure quackery - worse than snake oil July 25, 2010
Medical Marketing Maven (Stoneham, MA)
This book is a repository of a litany of scares and pure quackery, much of which has been debunked by research and clinical trials decades ago. Autoimmune diseases cannot be treated by any of its bizarre misrepresentations.
A holistic and clear approach to autoimmune disease June 13, 2010
K. Carne (Oxford)
This is an excellent book if you want to try to find ways of helping yourself overcome autoimmune diseases without just taking suppressive drugs from your doctor. Edelson explains very clearly the immune process, what happens when T Cells start attacking you rather than fighting for you, exactly what 'free radicals' are and why they are so important, and most importantly, he suggests that in addition to the genetic factor, much autoimmune disease is called by environmental toxins and in particular mercury from dental work. This book is the first one I have found that has given me answers and suggestions about how to work with and overcome an autoimmune disorder. I am deeply grateful.
A bad, BAD idea... June 11, 2010

I would be dead if I followed this author's suggestions. I've been diagnosed with a very rare autoimmune disorder that causes life-threatening allergic reactions. One of my triggers is heat. I used to love the sauna, but I would have to be CRAZY to visit one again. Sure... I eat a healthy (organic) diet, minimize my exposure to chemicals and heavy metals, get plenty of sleep... but I also avoid my triggers and I'm faithful about taking the medications my doctors have prescribed. This is how I stay out of the ER. One size does not fit all.
Educating yourself is extremely important if you think you have an autoimmune disorder. BUT... this book is not the way to do it. Run the other way.
 Good book on where to start your healing journey April 14, 2010
J. Grimm (Arnold, MO USA)
I started reading this about 2 years after I had already worked with a doctor who helped me become symptom-free of my RA. I have done probably half of the recommendations in the book through my doctor & I am comfortable with where I am at. I will hold it for reference if I start to regress.
This book is very comprehensive. It can be overwhelming for someone who has been eating fast foods or boxed processed foods & who has only been to a conventional doctor who writes Rx's all day. Not to discount any of the info in the book -- it is all great. But I believe people have to want to truly heal & get out of the mentality that "there is a pill for every ill." You have to take control of your own health.
The author explains the common issues behind autoimmune disorders & how to work through the symptoms. I know I couldn't have recovered by myself, I did it with the help of an out of state doctor, Dr. Richard Brouse.
The author promotes his wellness center, which I think is fine. It's a starting place. But there may be adequate local doctors that can help. The author provides a list of questions to ask them when interviewing them for treating you.
Overall, very good reference book. Just try not to get overwhelmed with all of the protocol recommendations. [...] & [...] are good starting points as well.
