This book may be your first introduction to health information that flies in the face of conventional wisdom and Western medical advicethat autoimmune conditions are incurable. The frenzied pace of modern scientific discovery has left many mainstream medical professionals in the past. As a scientist who has studied chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, and metabolism, I can attest to the staggering amount of research that gets published every month. It's no wonder that new discoveries take too long to filter into practice. But theres good news about autoimmunity, and Palmer is here to share it. Shes not just writing about a topic from a knowledge perspective. She's lived with an autoimmune diagnosis and personally experienced the debilitating effects of the disease. Until she did something about it. Now you can, too.

Before working with Palmer, I had trouble just getting through the day. I had tummy pain and IBS-symptoms so bad I could barely leave the house. I was so tired I would frequently fall asleep at work, and I didnt have the energy to exercise. My hormones were so out of whack I had debilitating monthly cycles and extra weight that wouldnt budge. By following Palmers anti-inflammatory food plan, taking targeted supplements, and detoxing slowly, I was able to heal my gut and reverse all symptoms of celiac disease and Hashimotos thyroiditis. Now Im running 5Ks with my daughter and enjoying life instead of dreading it. If I can beat autoimmune, you can too!
