Immune : a journey into the mysterious system that keep you alive / by Dettmer, Philipp,author.;
"Although everyone who has ever had a cold is familiar with the human immune system and its importance, few understand just how complex and intricate the immune system is. In Immune, Internet creator and storyteller Philipp Dettmer takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle raging just under our skin, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you've been reading this, your immune system has identified and eradicated multiple cancer cells that started to grow in your body. Enlivened by engaging full-color graphics and immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and pervasive subjects in biology--immunology--into a gripping adventure through an alien landscape. Touching on our body's defenses, the types of adversaries we face (including a chapter on the coronavirus), and the grave consequences of immune malfunction, Immune is a vital crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body"--

Detoxify : the everyday toxins harming your immune system and how to defend against them / by Cohen, Aly,1973-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Immune conditions and autoimmune diseases are on a meteoric rise in our modern-day world with the biggest triggers existing all around us. With an environment laden with untested and unregulated chemicals, radiation, and light and noise pollution, these immune disrupting chemicals (IDCs) trigger our bodies to go haywire and develop chronic conditions. And while variables like age, medication use, and overall health status factor into the performance of one's immune system, doctors are struggling to help their patients find livable solutions for their chronic illness. In Detoxify, integrative rheumatologist Dr. Aly Cohen, with over twenty years practicing on the front lines of clinical medicine, proposes a life-saving solution to minimizing disrupting immune system triggers and activating the body's natural detoxification systems. Using clear and accessible language, Dr. Cohen demonstrates the surprising ways in which environmental toxins impact our bodies, linking specific symptoms and illnesses to everyday exposures. You'll uncover what's lurking in our water, food, personal care products, and household goods. More importantly, you'll discover simple and affordable steps to lead a more toxin-free life. Dr. Cohen empowers us no matter our lifestyle or budget, to make small, practical shifts that can substantially increase our quality of life and help to thwart future health risks. Featuring Dr. Cohen's 4A's of environmental health navigation, full-body survey to assess toxin risk, as well as a 21-day plan to significantly reduce environmental exposure and enhance your detoxification process, this book is packed with valuable resources, including lab test recommendations, DIY household cleaner and personal care recipes, Dr. Cohen's Detoxify Food Pyramid©, and over two dozen delicious, detoxifying recipes. Detoxify is your ultimate guide for making easy and practical lifestyle changes that can alleviate chronic illness, strengthen your immune system, and ultimately extend your lifespan"--

The war against viruses : how the science of optimal nutrition can help you win / by Burford-Mason, Alison,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the influenza virus COVID-19 a pandemic. Dr. Aileen Burford-Mason's new book, The War Against Viruses, explains how we can help reduce the risk and severity of COVID-19 infection. But it goes beyond this, showing how staying well in general, and avoiding winter colds and flus in particular, is possible with optimal nutrition. When operating efficiently, the immune system represents biological teamwork at its best: a symphony of protective cells and biomolecules acting together to rapidly recognize potentially harmful microbes and eliminate them. The orchestration of this complex system depends on a continuous and ample supply of essential components--vitamins, minerals, beneficial fats and other nutrients--to function properly. But a growing body of research shows that the nutritional content of our food has sharply declined over the course of the last century. As the use of high-yield industrial farming practices has increased, so the nutritional content has decreased. The War Against Viruses shows how without a rounded intake of essential nutrients our immune response may be compromised, especially during emergencies. The book provides evidence-based advice on how to recognize gaps in our nutritional arsenal. Dr. Burford-Mason creates a personal supplement regime that can overcome potential dietary shortfalls by strengthening our immune response to infection, thus helping to reduce the potential for lethal illness."-- Provided by publisher.
