Book Reviews of The Autoimmune Epidemic

Book Review: RECOVER from Auto-immune Illness and PREVENT getting more!
Summary: 5 Stars

I believe this book should be REQUIRED READING for every high school senior and every new parent!! I was diagnosed with THREE auto-immune illnesses; I was so sick that I was not able to work, I didn't have the physical capacity to take care of my house, I didn't have the mental capacity to pay my bills, and at times, I couldn't even form sentences. Today, I work at a large corporation as a technologist in the computing field. I contribute the success of my healing largely to this book. It is the first book I read that explained how auto-immune illnesses happen, why you tend to get more after you've already gotten one, and what you can do to prevent that from happening. Truly a life-altering book. I can't recommend it highly enough. Even if you don't have an auto-immune illness, you should read it. It will open your eyes in a way you will be eternally greatful for, and it will give you information you need to prevent getting an auto-immune illness if you have a pre-disposition for one. Auto-immune ilnesses are only 30% genetic and 70% environmental. That means you have SEVENTY PERCENT CONTROL over whether you get one, or whether it gets worse (or, as in my case, better!) if you've already got one (or, as in my case, more!).. and this book tells you HOW to prevent the latter two!! The book reads like a novel, as opposed to being highly technical and "dry". I found it very difficult to put down once I started reading it because I wanted to know what happened next!! This book is backed by solid research, and completely inspirational. The author is gifted in being able to uniquelly explain a technical topic in a way that most anybody can understand. I rarely ever make such statements, but if you could only buy ONE book, EVER, in your entire life, on an auto-immune illness (ANY auto-immune illness)... if you could only buy ONE book EVER, in your entire LIFE, period; this is the book to buy. It's that life-altering, or at least it has been for me. God Bless this Author and her gift and will to open our eyes!! Thank you Ms. Jackson Nakazawa, GOD BLESS YOU!!

Summary of The Autoimmune Epidemic

From the foreword by Dr. Douglas Kerr, Director, Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis Center

"The Autoimmune Epidemic by Donna Jackson Nakazawa is an astounding book....It is the kind of book that will rivet you and scare you. It will make you angry. It will amaze you with the courage of some of the people described in the book...The Autoimmune Epidemic is every bit as compelling as Upton Sinclair's The Jungle...It is also every bit as necessary as An Inconvenient Truth....

You will leave this book with no reservations about the veracity of the conclusions: put simply, there is no doubt that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and increasing environmental exposures of toxins and chemicals is fueling this rise. The research is sound. The conclusions unassailable....

Reading The Autoimmune Epidemic is a necessary first step. Reading The Autoimmune Epidemic is a life-altering event. It needs to be."
