Book Description

1571742654 978-1571742650 August 1, 2002 1

HIV, hepatitis, influenza, the common cold, herpes, Ebola, Hantavirus, West Nile fever, dengue, TT virus—the viral world keeps posing new major challenges to human health each year. At the same time as this onslaught of emerging powerful viral infections, our antibiotic arsenals are losing ground and our immune systems are compromised. Can we handle the next viral epidemic?

Yes, says James Williams, an experienced, credentialled naturopath, acupuncturist, and expert in traditional Chinese medicine. We can shore up our immune system to handle current and any future viral infections and not be dependent on conventional vaccinations or antibiotics to insure our health.

In 10 practical steps, Dr. Williams shows how to develop unassailable viral immunity using natural approaches. If you already have a viral infection, these steps will help you reverse its effects; if you're concerned about exposure to one in the future, these steps will give you the keys to prevention. Included in these steps are the best that natural medicine offers: stress management, enzymes, nutrients, detoxification, oxygen therapy, immune modulators, hormones, natural antiviral medicines and anti-inflammatory medicines, Chinese and Western herbs, and more.

"Viral immunity is without question one of the most important health issues of this century," says Dr. Williams. "The message of this book is clear. You can improve your system in general with diet, lifestyle, and natural medicines. Here you will find natural ways of improving immune function, remedies to treat viral infections, and suggestions on how to reframe outdated concepts that could otherwise prevent you from obtaining effective treatment."

More About the Author

As a practicing doctor with over twenty years of clinical experience, having earned my Doctor of Oriental Medicine from Sino-American University of Oriental Medicine in Los Angeles, my acupuncture degree from the California Acupuncture College, and board certification as a Naturopathic Physician from the American Naturopathic Medical Association, I have found that understanding biology and evolution, as well as spiritual and energetic medicine, on a deeper level is the key to healing, optimal health, and longevity. In addition, I am on the professional advisory boards of Life Factor Research and Doctors For Nutrition; a member of the editorial board for the Medline reviewed journal, Alternative Medicine Review; was a member of Scripps Hospital's rehabilitation advisory board, and was the former Director of Alternative and Complementary Medicine for The Center for Women's Medicine in San Diego. I am a Fellow of the American Association of Integrative Medicine, was a founding faculty member of the California Acupuncture College, taught at the University of Humanistic Studies, the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, and am currently the Academic Dean of the East West College of Natural Medicine in Sarasota, Florida. I have been widely published, including medical papers in Europe, North America, Cuba, and Mexico, as well as several papers on ethnobotany and biodiversity. In addition, I practice meditation, Qi Gong, Tai Qi, yoga, Argentine Tango, and other transpersonal practices, am an accomplished photographer, a published poet, and conduct ongoing ethnobotanical investigations for immunomodulating plants in the Peruvian Amazon and Southern Mexico. Among my many goals is to integrate ancient wisdom with modern science in order to understand the healing process for the relief of pain and suffering, and cure of disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps our only hope to beat the coming plagues, October 21, 2002
By 
Patrick Quillin (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Viral Immunity: A 10-Step Plan to Enhance Your Immunity against Viral Disease Using Natural Medicines (Paperback)
Dr. James Williams is an extraordinary health care professional who has written a timely and comprehensive book, VIRAL IMMUNITY, on how to make your body "bulletproof" against the growing onslaught of viral infections. Dr. Williams skillfully weaves together his training in Oriental medicine from China, his 20 years of clinical work helping very sick patients, and the latest references from scientific journals to offer the reader a practical program for building the immune system to fight viral and other infections. American taxpayers support the ...annual budget at the National Institutes of Health, which includes a desperate search for magic bullet drugs against increasingly more virulent "bugs", or infections. We need to recognize that "non-specific host defenses" are built from a generally healthy lifestyle, coupled with specific techniques to support the immune system. As infections have risen back into the 3rd leading cause of death in America, VIRAL IMMUNITY gives us the answers to preventing and reversing the bewildering array of infections now found in American hospitals and clinics. With this book, the reader can use foods, vitamins, herbs, detoxification techniques and stress reduction to substantially improve the chances for recovering from any infection. It is not a short book, nor a simple process to change lifestyle habits; but it is our only hope to avoid the potential plagues of the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Defeating the virii, July 9, 2004
This review is from: Viral Immunity: A 10-Step Plan to Enhance Your Immunity against Viral Disease Using Natural Medicines (Paperback)
This valuable book explores the many natural ways of combating viral infections. This includes stress management, enzymes, nutrition, detoxification, oxygen therapies, immune modulators, natural hormones, natural antiviral medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines and Chinese and Western herbs.

Part One looks at viruses, immunity and evolution and includes a review of the key viral agents and an in-depth look at immunity and viral disease. Part Two is a 10-step programme to viral immunity. It deals with the immune enhancing lifestyle, anti-oxidants and oxidative therapies, enzymes, the renewal of cells through detoxification, natural immune enhancers, natural antiviral alternatives, Chinese medicine and maintaining the hormonal balance. Homeopathic remedies and nutraceuticals are also covered in this section.

The book concludes with six appendices, a glossary, copious notes, a bibliography and an index. Viral Immunity is an extensive and well-researched handbook that provides the very latest information for maintaining a healthy immune system against viral infections. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Integrated Medicine Classic, November 19, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Viral Immunity: A 10-Step Plan to Enhance Your Immunity against Viral Disease Using Natural Medicines (Paperback)
This book, already called "an integrated medicine classic" and "a seminal work," is impeccable researched and beautifully written. It is about one of the most important health concerns of our times: how to develop unassailable immunity against viral infections. In Part I, Dr. Williams, explains how the immune system works and why viral diseases are re-emerging as major modern plagues. In ten practical and easily applied steps, in Part II, Dr. Williams, walks the reader through numerous ways to enhance your immunity and treat viral illnesses, from the common cold to herpes viruses, with natural medicines. VIRAL IMMUNITY is an important resource not just those already virally infected, but every family in America should own a copy to understand the nature of viral disease, how to empower their immune systems, and what to do in the case of infection. In this age of potential bioterrorism, who can afford not to be without such a source of timely and valuable information?
