This review is from: The Tao of Immunology: A Revolutionary New Understanding of Our Body's Defenses (Hardcover)
This book begins with the thesis that the immune system has elements of good and bad, depending on the situation. This is an excellent starting point and one I use often with my classes. However, Dr. Lappe does not have the depth of knowledge he needs to make me want to read further. Technically incorrect statements (for example, Herpes virus is an RNA virus and IgE has 4 antigen binding sites) degrade the import of his ideas. I cannot recommend this book to my students or the lay public, because of Lappe's basic science errors. In addition, these errors may cause the scientific community to disregard important ideas that are needed to to bring western allopathic medicine closer to the healing traditions found in eastern and native cultures.
