Beat Autoimmune: The 6 Keys to Reverse Your Condition and Reclaim Your Health Paperback – April 30, 2019

If you suffer with any Autoimmune diseases I would honestly say this book is essential reading. I wish I’d had this help 10 years ago as a preventative. Allopathic doctors told me it was genetic and all I could do was take immune suppressant drugs - so not true and this book explains your choices. It is a thorough search for possible root causes with assessments / symptom trackers working through six actionable areas with practical often common sense steps & relatable inspiring stories. If you want to heal and thrive and are willing to put some work in to clean your body and environment, reduce stress this book will show you how. It is not a book filled with frills, its not promoting any size line products, it is written with a completely non self serving empathetic tone that I really appreciate. We are all trying our best and the author gets it because she’s been there. I have shelves full of healing books but this is the most comprehensive, so if you are only buying one book, I'd say hands down this is it. I have to mention the amazing value, today the book is $10.97; I considered working with an Auto Immune health coach but could not afford it as she charges $400 an hour, nuff said :))

My background is in food science and nutrition, and I wholeheartedly recommend Beat Autoimmune not only to people struggling with a diagnosed autoimmune disorder - but the information presented in this book is relevant to everyone, and will not only reverse or prevent autoimmune disorders, but all kind of chronic disorders, because the author is guiding us step by step to help our body function optimally and heal itself. When we remove stressors and burdens to the immune system, and give the body the nourshishment it needs through nutrition, lifestyle changes and supplements, healing happens, organs/tissues regenerate, conditions reverse. I have read many books in the field of functional medicine, but what sets Palmer's book aside from the rest, is how detailed, prescriptive and actionable it is, no matter where you are in your health journey. You will feel like the author is an empathic friend holding your hand through the process, offering encouragement at every step of the way, hope, and options that will meet you where you are right now. This special way in which is written, makes this book very powerful, because whether you can only handle a few small steps, or a complete lifestyle overhaul, this book will shift your health towards a positive direction, and the more steps you are able to follow, the bigger the positive impact, but you can take them at your own pace. The author is very specific in her recommendations (providing sources and recommended doses), effectively saving you tons of research and hours (and $$) with doctors, just follow her recommendations, and you WILL feel better.

A friend recommended this book as one that could give me an important perspective on being healthy--not just to "Beat Autoimmune." I was intimidated going into it because I don't have autoimmune and some of the terminology was going over my head. What I realized was that the author concisely summarizes her chapters, which brought focus and clarity to all the ideas swimming through my head! The author highlights that what causes pain and partially causes autoimmune is inflammation. I am attempting to take a permanent food vacation from "overt" sugar to start. One thing this book stresses is one.thing.at.a.time. I started a regimen of recommended supplements for various forms of health and I will admit, my exceptionally arthritic knees ache less. I feel less scattered. I'm more prone to prioritize meditating (10 minutes a day using MUSE or the Calm app) because the book gave me proof of how meditation is beneficial both emotionally and physically. My doctor is on board, too; I asked for her advice after giving her a copy of the book. "Beat Autoimmune" is thoughtfully researched and written. Be prepared to read it with a pencil/pen because you're going to want to annotate your copy!

This was a detailed and informative book. The narration was done well. I plan to implement many of the suggestions

This is an excellent book. I highly recommend it. It was recommended by a number of functional medicine drs. Also I heard the author speak on podcast.It is easy to read with so many actionable suggestions. I’m only on page 67 and I can’t put it down. Finally, something to help my family member who has a rare a*utoimmune disease. You can see from photo that I am marking it up for follow up. I can’t read but just a few pages without stopping, looking up the information and following the link. It’s just phenomenal. I bought a second copy of the book to share with another family Member. I may buy a 3rd for my doctor. We don’t take drugs unless absolutely necessary and here are lots of ways in the book to minimize drugs. If you go to a functional medicine doctor, which we do, this will be right in line with their advice. If you don’t, then this might open your eyes to why you should. Get this book and get well.
