I am about two-thirds of the way through this book and am really learning a lot about auto immune diseases.  The author provides information about auto immune diseases in general and also provides some additional specific information about the six most common diseases.  She is an MD, but explains medical concepts in a way they are understandable to a non-medical person.  The book outlines a four step program to identify and remedy auto immune related symptoms.  Part of the book is comprised of worksheets to assist the reader with further understanding.  Highly recommended for those who want to understand more about auto immune, particularly using food as medicine.

After buying access to the Autoimmune Summit last year (ran by Dr. Myers) I was excitedly awaiting the release of this book. For the past few months I had been researching the Autoimmune Protocol/Paleo (AIP) and found the amount of information out there on the internet very overwhelming. The Autoimmune Solution puts all the information you could need in a neat little package. Everything is explained in a simple yet comprehensive way that allows you to actually make real changes to your diet and life. Dr Myers uses an approach where she applauds progress, not perfection. She writes from an incredibly empathetic point of view, acknowledging that not everyone can afford to do everything right at once, be it sourcing organic pastured meats, replacing all of your cosmetics etc. She acknowledges that this is a process and gives plenty of resources and references for anyone to achieve an optimal level of health with time. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone with an autoimmune condition.

it is an excellent book for most people. these are tue stories about people Rachel Naomi Remen talked to about their diseases and  in many cases upcoming death.  She helps them face their fears and also helps the reader to see their doubtds and fears. it is ecspecially helpfull if you have a loved one who has an incurable disease, as is true for myself. I  highly recommend this.

This book is amazing! The way Sarah explains the complicated inner workings of the gut and immune system makes it easy to understand for anyone. This understanding sets you up with the perfect foundation for learning why and how the Autoimmune protocol works.  I'm just in awe!

Holly's story of overcoming autoimmune disease is inspiring.  This book will support your recovery even if you work in an intense work environment, where it seems that no one understands your struggle.

This book brings hope to many people suffering from autoimmune disease, not just MS...and quite frankly, it's eye-opening for the rest of us as well.  Turning the food pyramid upside down was extremely important to turning my health around and this book helps to connect the dots between diet and disease. There are so many health books out there and I've read my share of paleo-inspired books; this one is easy to read and offers different levels to help one settle into a new set of eating habits.  Thank you Dr. Wahls!

This book contains a WEALTH of information. I feel as if I have taken a course on human physiology and nutrition based on what I now know about how my body reacts to the foods I eat. It explains in detail the cellular processes that occur when certain things are ingested in a way that is easy for a non-scientist to understand.  It explains not only what you should avoid to heal your body from the inside out but also the good things you need to start doing to promote healing.

I wish I had know these things years ago when first diagnosed with an auto-immune condition.  I am thankful now that I am armed with the knowledge needed to start healing the damage I have done over the past 15 years.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from an autoimmune condition or to anyone who just wants to understand how the human body reacts to what you eat.

Their comments "Our approach is anti-guru, and instead guided by empowerment and self-discovery. We acknowledge that everyone is unique, which is why weve provided information that encourages personalization and refinement, instead of sharing what worked for us exclusively."
This is an easy guide for you if you were diagnosed with autoimmune disease"

The passion that is put into this book is just phenomenal.  Don't miss this! Put it in your cart and submit . And read it .its an easy read .great resource! It's a keeper.

Very detailed about the biology behind autoimmune diseases, and the Why's of the autoimmune paleo protocoll, besides clear instructions. Not the easiest diet, but well worth it. I like that also lifestyle topics are covered. A great reference book for most AIP questions!
Thank you so much Sarah for writing this book! Looking forward to Part 2 with receipes :)

I have been on an autoimmune healing journey for a year & half. During that time there has been so much information to sort through, that I was super thankful to have found this book. Dr Amy Myers condensed all the important information in this book & makes it easy to understand & implement. I have had great results.

As an author and educator, very few people know that I was diagnosed with systemic lupus years ago, after the birth of my second child. Yet, this book is so important to me and the results so dramatic and positive that I had to put this information out into the open.

Just as Dr. Myers states in her book, the medications for autoimmune conditions are often worse that the illness itself and can lead to even more complications. Upon diagnosis, I took several medications and got so much sicker that I told my rheumatologist I threw away all my medications and was going to find another way to heal.

She told me that I was going to die if I continued down that path, and after telling her that my "death" was not something she could truly know would happen nor when, I went in search of alternative methods to create and maintain health.

Well, here it is more than 30 years later and I am vital, strong and healthy! But the truth is, before reading and implementing the plan in Dr. Myers' book, I wanted even a higher quality of health and I found the remaining answers here.

Despite all the research I'd done and written about to help children overcome learning disabilities and ADHD diagnoses via the food they eat and the connection between learning and food, Dr. Myers' book opened my eyes even more! I was drinking an organic rice protein powder every morning and learned why eating any grains were actually creating inflammation. I also learned that the black organic beans were not serving me well either and why.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude to Dr. Myers and all the work she does, that I recommend everyone read this book. It is not only for people with autoimmune conditions - you'll learn so much about why certain foods are harmful and what it is in your environment that creates illness, allergies, headaches, weight gain and more.

I can now say with certainty, given the stellar results I've had following Amy's plan, that I've reversed the condition and symptoms that went along with the diagnosis I received, and after two months on the plan, almost completely eliminated the thyroid medication (those with 1 autoimmune condition are very likely to develop another and I did) I've been on for years.

I have more energy now than I did in my 30's and it is my intention to spread the word on how important the information in this book is. Should schools implement even a fraction of what is in this book in their health programs, we'd see far fewer students labeled with ADHD and other learning and behavioral challenges. I am so much more than grateful that I found this book and used everything in it! Thank you Dr. Myers.

Check it out for yourself, use the symptom tracker and notice how quickly you feel fantastic!

THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED AND DOCUMENTED.  This is a must read for everyone---not just those who are dealing with autoimmune diseases and disorders.

This book explores the uncertainty of living with and managing lupus, a complex and chronic autoimmune disease.  Dr. Lockshin shared many patient experiences and a wealth of knowledge from his vast iconic career as a rheumatologist. This is a great read for patients who are both newly diagnosed with lupus or similar disease and for those who have been living the condition for a while.  The patient examples provide a thorough guide for patients to understand the layers of medical uncertainty with lupus.  Physicians too can gain valuable insight as Dr. Lockshin explains the importance of humility in treating patients with these conditions.

I have Lupus, and have bought each new edition of the book as it has come out. It's the best book on Lupus out there. Now I have also been diagnosed with MS, if only I could find a book about MS that was as concise, organized and well written as this one, I wouldn't feel nearly as "alone" in the land of MS as I do.

Thank you Dr. Wallace for such a great book that helped me navigate the uncertain road of being newly diagnosed with Lupus 15 years ago, and for the continued information you provide to all of us who have or are affected by Lupus.

First of I think everyone could relate and learn from this book whether you have an auto immune disease or not.  I personally while reading your book, was taken off my Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)  medication (Biologics) that helped the progression of my RA and subsequently had to take more steroids, NSAIDS and such; for a side effect that resulted from the Biologics.  I was at that point where I was feeling alone, and in a lot of pain.  I was having trouble asking for help and also conveying my thoughts clearly to my spouse and others.  The chapters where you delve into relationships is so important.  I was able to use parts from your book to start a conversion with my spouse, which helped a lot.
I was able not to feel so guilty for asking and needing help.  I realize I am very lucky to have a spouse that is caring even when steroids make me act like a complete and total jerk.  And also "the talk" because of your book helped me feel that I am not worthless and I do contribute.
The rest of your book was a great easy emotional read.  The way you write is very descriptive so a person can visualize what is actually going on.  The book brought me back to many of my own times I was in those similar situations and never looked at them until your description of them.  The words gave me chills, it felt like I was back there again.  I finally was able to let out all this bottled up emotion.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this wonderful book.

In The Thyroid Cure, Michelle Corey educates her readers and gives us an extensive understanding of autoimmune thyroid conditions and how to heal. She takes us step by step in understanding different medical approaches, causes and explanations of various autoimmune thyroid condition, and how to reverse them.  Its a wonderful whole body/mind approach that opened my eyes to various factors in my life that were contributing to my own Hashimotosso different than the standard Western medical approach. The Thyroid Cure helped me see various things that needed to be changed in my life in order to heal...things I never thought of before.  The various life splinters, or root causes, she talks about can be looked at for any autoimmune condition.

The book is written in an almost conversational style that is easy to understand, even with the more complex ideas.  Her nutrition section is great with foods to eat and foods to avoid, extensive self assessment section and detoxification information, and the stress chapter is fantastic.  So much more to learn from and love about this book that it cant all be put into a review.  I've recommended this book to several friends of mine.  All have called to thank me.  This is "the" thyroid book for me.
