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.
