It is in fact a highly complex, protective, and intelligent system that can bolster health and healing from head to toe. However, a number of factors--from illnesses you've had to the medications you take to the toxins you interact with on a daily basis--can throw your immune system off balance, resulting in excessive inflammation that worsens allergies and pain and even leads to serious chronic conditions. The good news: You can feed, nourish, and train your immune system to work better for you. In Ultimate Immunity, health experts Drs. Elson Haas and Sondra Barrett will lead you through a unique plan aimed at balancing, amplifying, and managing your intricate immune health.
