Product Description
Autoimmune disorders are not well understood and can be difficult to treat. The result is that there are millions of people with autoimmune diseases looking for answers, relief and healing, and not finding them. The majority of doctors treating autoimmunity simply attack the symptoms and treat each disorder separately, but Dr Edelson believes all autoimmune disorders are similar at their core and addresses what he sees as the root cause of these debilitating diseases - environemntal toxins. His approach is drug-free and individually tailored to each patient, and consists of alternative treatments that conventional doctors may not know about. His programme focuses on correcting the debilitating effects of the environmental toxins that he believes lead to these disorders. The book discusses the most common autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, Crohn's disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and MS, outlining their symptoms, causes, risk factors and the treatment approaches utilized by Dr. Edelson, including antioxidant theray, biodetoxification, nutritional therapis, immunotherapy and lifestyle adjustments.

 Just a BAD idea. July 24, 2008

This book is literally dangerous. The author describes various people with serious, potentially LIFE-THREATENING illnesses and goes on to say how they were taken off all of their medication and miraculously *healed* with all sorts of non-FDA-approved and non-regulated nonsense herbs, supplements, and potions. It might sound like it offers hope to those that wish to stay away from modern medicine, but you know what? 50 years ago, you had five years to live (maybe) after a diagnosis of lupus - these days, because of corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs, many lupus patients can live a full, long life (20, 30, 40 years!) - real medication is how you treat real illnesses, and this book is extremely dangerous in its attempt to convince seriously ill people that they can be just fine if they snub western meds. Instead, they're likely to get extremely worse and possibly die. What a horrible book!
 Great ideas when looking for drug-free options! May 15, 2008

Having had autoimmune disorders for years, I was looking for options. While for some the drugs commonly prescribed for these disorders works, for me it did not. I was happy to see other options that are mentioned in the book that I can incorporate into my daily life. Not all of the options are for me, but neither is it for anyone with any protocol.

The "trick" to the "drug free" therapies for each category listed is basically the same, and people concerned about what they eat and personal health already know this stuff. Searching the internet for information on these disorders is more helpful than this book.
 Alternative Treatments for Autoimmune Conditions February 28, 2007

For me, this book was a more holistic supplement to Mary J. Shomon's book, Living Well with Autoimmune Disease. It is logically formatted and is an easy resource for the specific condition about which one wishes to learn. The plus is it offers medical treatment and counters with non-drug treatment options for autoimmune conditions. A glossary and an appendix add to its value as a resource.

 Excellent book May 5, 2006

Don't let the previous review scare you. The quackwatch guys are the quacks themselves. Barrett, who heads up the quackwatch "research", is not a board certified doctor of anything and has been sued a bunch of times. The book itself is excellent and describes a treatment protocol that works. This protocol brought me back from near death when no local doctor could even figure out what was wrong with me. The protocol has also significantly helped our son who has autism. The "best" specialists told us there was no treatment for our son's autism and he would be permanently institutionalized by the age of 7. However, like many autism kids doing biomedical treatments, including those listed in this book, he has almost recovered. He's now 8 and attends a regular school where he performs on grade level. The treatments in this book work. It's definately worth a look.
