Description
By: Donna Jackson Nakazawa
Hailed by Mark Hyman, MD, as “a ray of light and hope” for those battling autoimmune diseases, this groundbreaking book provides research and solutions for those affected by chronic disorders including Crohn’s disease, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and more.
In the first book of its kind, journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa examines nearly a hundred debilitating autoimmune diseases that cause the body to destroy itself, mistakenly attacking healthy cells as the immune system fights off bacteria, viruses, and other invadersThrough deeply personal and vivid stories—including her own—Nakazawa uncovers how these often misunderstood diseases are part of a growing health epidemic.
She explores the devastating role of immune system triggers tied to our environment—heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, viruses, chemicals, and other pollutants—as contributors to this widespread crisis. The book also highlights the broader environmental health impact of these exposures, connecting everyday risks to long-term chronic disease management challenges.
With the help of leading experts, Nakazawa explores revolutionary preventions, treatments, and cures emerging around the world and offers practical advice for protecting your immune system and reducing your risk of autoimmune disease in the future.
