I was thrilled to get this book. I have terrible allergies to cats, horses and dogs. I could never visit the house of someone with pets and I have spent most of my life with a chronic head cold. After reading The Immune System Cure I started taking the supplements recommended for my allergies and within days I was able to tolerate animals. As well after reading the first five chapters I realized that I was not only allergic to pets but also to sulphites found in wine and beer and also wheat. Before reading this book I was not aware how nutrition and stress affect our immune system. I was shocked to learn that as little as 1 teaspoon of sugar can turn off our natural killer cells, the cells that fight cancer and viruses, for up to six hours. As well simple diet changes have made a tremendous difference in my health. I now eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can and I include good fats and oils and I have stopped eating margarine and processed oils. I have so much energy. I never realized how exhausting my allergies really were until I no longer was affected by them. The best thing about the book is that it is all based on research. People will be able to take it to their doctor and the doctor will not ignore it. All the recommendations are based on published research and plenty of human research trials are included. The authors also tell us that we may have an underactive immune system as seen in cancer and infectious disease but people like me may have an overactive immune system and may need to balance it out. Anyone with autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or MS will really appreciate a fresh approach to treating their disease. And I can't say enough about how thankful I was to learn that my allergies are caused by my immune system. Now I know that a antihistamine is only a bandaid and The Immune System Cure offers treatments that get directly at the cause of the immune dysfunction. I have read hundreds of books on allergies and none have taught me what I needed to know to be free of my allergies. Bravo to the authors.

Outstanding book if you have an auto immune disease. I have an auto immune disease known as Weber-Christian disease and spent 2 years suffering before finally being diagnosed correctly. Once I had been diagnosed, I was told there was nothing that could be done for me - that it wasn't a life threatening disease and that it would just come and go periodically, so I needed to just learn to live with it. After reading this book and following the advice, I am on the way to being cured and am feeling 100% better. In a couple of months (2), I've gone from having to stay in bed taking pain killers to leading a normal life again, virtually pain free!! I am only 37 years old and was not ready to just lie down and give up. This book has been a life saver for me. I highly recommend it to anyone with an auto immune disorder.

I have been taking the Moducare Sterinols recommended in this book for about 6 weeks. The Chronic Fatigue that I've had for most of my life has disappeared! I lost 10 pounds without trying. I find that my interest in sweets has gone to nothing. My taste runs to raw veggies and fruits, which I would hardly touch before. I am a total believer in this product, and have learned a lot by reading this book.
