The autoimmune cure : healing the trauma and other triggers that have turned your body against you / by Gottfried, Sara,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally heal. Autoimmune disease affects about one in ten Americans, or twenty-four million people, with prevalence increasing worldwide. But as Dr. Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realize-and its cause may surprise you. Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms ranging from severe fatigue to digestive problems, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr. Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80 percent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. With 'The Autoimmune Cure', there is hope on the horizon. Dr. Gottfried has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, and restore your health. The book offers a roadmap to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the underlying cause of the condition and healing the body, mind, and spirit.

Inflamed : deep medicine and the anatomy of injustice / by Marya, Rupa,1975-author.; Patel, Raj,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Our bodies, societies, and planet are inflamed. Boldly original, Inflamed takes us on a medical tour through the human body--our digestive, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. Unlike a traditional anatomy book, this groundbreaking work illuminates the hidden relationships between our biological systems and the profound injustices of our political and economic systems. Inflammation is connected to the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the diversity of the microbes living inside us, which regulate everything from our brain's development to our immune system's functioning. It's connected to the number of traumatic events we experienced as children and to the traumas endured by our ancestors. It's connected not only to access to health care but to the very models of health that physicians practice"--Dust jacket flap.
