Asthma inhalers. Antibiotics. Mood elevators. Antacids. The more Americans rely on traditional Western medical therapies, the sicker they seem to become. That's because most over-the-counter and prescription drugs mask the symptoms and do nothing about the root causes of most disease: a weakened immune system. Now, in this groundbreaking new book, health journalist Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe offers comprehensive strategies for strengthening your immune system through whole-foods nutrition, exercise, supplements, and stress reduction. Simple in its design but revolutionary in its concepts, Healthy Immunity provides a prescriptive, all-natural plan for a host of health ills. Featuring delicious, immune-enhancing recipes plus the most up-to-date scientific research available, Healthy Immunity is the perfect prescription for what ails you, and it proves what alternative healers have known for years -- that Mother Nature provides everything we need to fight disease and maintain optimum health.
