About Ultimate Immunity: Supercharge Your Body's Natural
Product Description If you think your immune system is just a simple thing that only helps you fight off colds and flus, think again. It is, in fact, a highly complex, protective, and intelligent system that can bolster health and healing from head to toe. A number of factors—from your diet, lifestyle, and the illnesses you’ve had to the medications you take or the toxins and people you interact with on a daily basis—can throw your immune system off balance, resulting in excessive inflammation that worsens allergies and pain and can even lead to serious health conditions. Don’t panic: You can feed, nourish, and teach your immune system to work better, which will result in lifelong health. In Ultimate Immunity, experts Drs. Elson Haas and Sondra Barrett guide you through a unique plan aimed at balancing, amplifying, and managing your immune health. Beginning with easy-to-understand explanations of what the immune system is, how it works, and how it fails, then moving on to five important ways to reset it, Ultimate Immunity provides the answers you need. Including diet, exercise, and stress-reduction tips, as well as testimonials from people who used these methods to overcome chronic pain and immune health issues for good, Ultimate Immunity is your guidebook to total health.

There's a deadline looming for a big project you're working on, so you've been eating on the run, grabbing whatever's quick and easy. No time for sitting down to enjoy a meal with your family, and even less time to relax. Then, from out of the blue, the thing you need the least: You wake up with a hint of a sore throat. By the end of the day, your nose is dripping and you begin coughing. Why now? Maybe your immune system is as stressed out as you are, and you just can't cope with one more assault. Here's what's probably going on: Worn out with worry and work, you stopped taking good care of yourself and didn't pay attention to what you really needed. So the cells* that protect you from germs took time out, too, allowing viruses to set up house in your body and ultimately sending you to bed. But before your head even hits the pillow, you're bombarded with advice. Everybody and their cousin has a favorite home remedy, and ads for cold medicine seem to pop up everywhere. Some of those medicines might weaken the viruses that are knocking you out. But more likely, those little bugs will grab hold and make you feel lousy for a few days. Are you helpless against everything from the common cold to a bout of pneumonia? Well, not exactly. What happens when you're exposed to all those microbes that can make you sick is partly up to you. One of our goals for this book is to guide you in knowing how to care for and feed your all-powerful immune healing system. With the right approach, you're less likely to get sick, and if you do become ill, you're more likely to bounce back a bit quicker. A speedy recovery is thanks to the hard work of your immune system. Your body is constantly exposed to microbes--it's actually home to trillions of bacteria. In fact, there are more microbes in your body than your own cells, and yet you avoid getting any kind of infectious illness from these microbes inside you. An amazing collaboration between your cells and the "magic molecules" they produce keeps you protected from both what's inside you as well as what can invade from the outside world.
