Foreword
Introduction
As little as two decades ago, those seeking medical treatments using herbs,
homeopathy, detoxification, vitamins, and minerals would have had a hard
time locating a general practitioner who would even discuss these types of
treatments, let alone recommend their use. The term given to this non-drug
approach to disease elimination was "alternative." People sought this type
of treatment after exhausting what conventional medicine had to give. Only
a handful of medical doctors would offer "alternative" medical care to their
patients for fear of being threatened by their medical boards or ostracized by
their peers. Anyone seeking an alternative approach to drug therapies had
to educate themselves by reading books and other materials. Or they enlisted
the help of health food store owners, herbalists, homeopaths, traditional
Chinese medicine doctors, acupuncturists, and the rare naturopath.
In twenty years much has changed. A dramatic shift in our health
consciousness has taken place. Pharmacists are being trained in herbal and
homeopathic medicine. Thousands of medical practitioners are prescribing
to the principles of natural medicine. Many more medical doctors practice
"integrative" medicine, where they combine research-backed alternative
medical treatments with the best of allopathic medicine. And several
hundred licensed naturopathic doctors are offering excellent patient care.
In addition, medical universities now offer courses on alternative medicine.
The University of British Columbia, McMaster University in Ontario, and
the University of Alberta offer complementary medicine programs for
medical students. Post-graduate degrees are available in homeopathy and
naturopathy at Bastyr University in Seattle. The University of Maryland at
Baltimore offers a two-year fellowship in Integrative and Complementary
Medicine. Harvard Medical School Center for Alternative Medicine Research
provides post-secondary education for doctors. Stanford Medical School,
the University of Arizona, and the University of Berkeley, California, also
offer such programs.
Thousands of research studies on plant nutrients and vitamins and
minerals have been performed in university laboratories and clinical
settings. These studies are confirming the effectiveness of alternative treatments,
giving validation to decades of traditional use. Recognized journals
worldwide, including The Lancet and The New England Journal of
Medicine, among others, regularly publish the promising results of nutritional
medicine. Physicians are reading these scientific reports and the
validation is clear. Science is confirming what traditional healers and
pioneers in alternative medicine have known since the beginning of
time-Mother Nature provides us with what we need to be well.
Many people are becoming disenchanted with conventional medicine's
drugs and the cut and burn approach to disease. Illnesses that are caused
by inadequate nutrition, too much stress, and environmental toxins-many
of which are dealt with in this book-do not respond well to prescription
drug therapies. Strange diseases not seen several decades ago now plague
our society: fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases such as lupus, MS, scleroderma,
as well as HIV. Diabetes and arthritis are rampant. These diseases
are caused by lifestyle and environmental problems, not by a lack of
prescription drugs. Moreover, the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and
viruses that mutate so fast that current treatments quickly become ineffective,
have also made people realize that there must be a better way. People
are looking for solutions, and starting to understand that preventing disease
and taking charge of their family's health makes sense. Our medical doctors
also now recognize conventional medicine's shortcomings.
Healthy Immunity: Scientifically proven natural treatments for conditions
from A-Z provides you with the most up-to-date, research-backed recommendations
for treatment of the top 100 modern diseases, with special
emphasis on over 25 autoimmune disorders. Wherever possible, the treatments
recommended throughout the book are scientifically backed with
research using human subjects.
When using this book you can go directly to the disease that affects you
and then read the associated chapters. If you are currently taking medication,
consult your physician before embarking on any new health care program.
A healthy immune system is the basis for the prescription for health treatment suggestions. Your immune system is your body's internal healing machine. When in prime condition, you are well. When the immune system fails, you become ill. Optimal immunity is the key to good health
and longevity.
