Autoimmune disorders are not well understood and difficult to treat. The result is that there are millions of people with autoimmune diseases looking for answers, relief and healing...and not finding anything. 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 their root cause of these debilitating diseases - environmental toxins - and he's having a great deal of success. His approach is revolutionary because it is drug-free, individually tailored to each patient and consists of unique and effective 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 treatment approaches utilized by Dr. Edelson, including antioxidant therapy, biodetoxification, nutritional therapies, immunotherapy and lifestyle adjustments.
Dr. Edelson is a frequent lecturer and makes numerous appearances on radio and TV. Deborah Mitchell is a medical writer and jornalist whose articles have appeared in professional journals and national books. She has authored and co-authored some ten previous titles.
