Summary:Do you have a sense of not feeling your best, but it has been going on so long it's actually normal to you? Among the most prevalent forms of chronic illness in this country, autoimmune disease affects nearly 23.5 million Americans. This epidemic--a result of the toxins in our diet; exposure to chemicals, heavy metals, and antibiotics; and unprecedented stress levels--has caused millions to suffer from autoimmune conditions such as Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, lupus, and more. Here, Dr. Susan Blum, an expert in the field of functional medicine, shares the four-step program she used to treat her own serious autoimmune condition and help countless patients reverse their symptoms, heal their immune systems, and prevent future illness. Each section includes an interactive workbook to help you determine and create your own personal treatment program. Also included are recipes for simple dishes to jump-start the healing process.--From publisher description.
