When I was diagnosed with lupus I didn't have a clue what was going on with my body. Elaine Moore has made a tough subject easy reading. I learned much more from this book than from the 5 doctors I've consulted. Her brilliant use of metaphor, comparing the immune system to a sand castle, really got me thinking about all the things I was doing that were making my condition worse. Within one week of avoiding aspartame and foods contaminated with mercury, I've become 100% better. Everyone with an autoimmune disorder needs to read this book.

A well-researched, intensive look at the causes of autoimmune diseases, and the mechanisms that cause these confusing conditions. Elaine Moore continues in the tradition of her excellent book on Graves' disease to branch out to the broader topic of autoimmunity, and brings her insightful analysis to the issue. An excellent book for patients and practitioners who want to understand more about this complex family of conditions.

I was very disappointed in this book. It was very technical and not in laymans language. I had difficulty just reading from front to back. Talked doctor language and mentioned cells and the different kinds, etc. It not very interesting and it did not grab my attention. I purchased 2 other books that costed [less]that were much better. The price on this book is much to high for what you are getting. I cannot recommend this book especially the high price you pay for it.
