The Immune System Recovery Plan: A Doctor's 4-Step Program to Treat Autoimmune Disease Description
• Are you constantly exhausted? • Do you frequently feel sick? • Are you hot when others are cold, or cold when everyone else is warm? • Do you have trouble thinking clearly, aka “brain fog”? • Do you often feel irritable? • Are you experiencing hair loss, dry skin, or unexplained weight fluctuation? • Do your joints ache or swell but you don’t know why? • Do you have an overall sense of not feeling your best, but it has been going on so long it’s actually normal to you? IF you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have an autoimmune disease, and this book is the “medicine” you need. Among the most prevalent forms of chronic illness in this country, autoimmune disease affects nearly
23.5 million Americans. This epidemic—a result of the toxins in our diet; exposure to chemicals, heavy metals, and antibiotics; and unprecedented stress levels—has caused millions to suffer from autoimmune conditions such as Graves’ disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, lupus, and more. In
The Immune System Recovery Plan, Dr. Susan Blum, one of the most sought-after experts in the field of functional medicine, shares the four-step program she used to treat her own serious autoimmune condition and help countless patients reverse their symptoms, heal their immune systems, and prevent future illness.
DR. BLUM’S INNOVATIVE METHOD FOCUSES ON:
• Using food as medicine
• Understanding the stress connection
• Healing your gut and digestive system
• Optimizing liver function
Each of these sections includes an interactive workbook to help you determine and create your own personal treatment program. Also included are recipes for simple, easy-to-prepare dishes to jump-start the healing process.
The Immune System Recovery Plan is a revolutionary way for people to balance their immune systems, transform their health, and live fuller, happier lives.

I read this book as I suffer from Sjogren's, Chronic Fatigue, Fybromialgia and Raynaud's. I have read most of the books related to auto immune conditions and this book by far is the most informative and helpful I have read to date and has extended more results for me than any other. Much of what Dr. Blum suggests in her book is what my current integrative rheumatoligist practices and the results for me have been remarkable the past year. However, most books, including this one, share stories of full recoveries without emphasizing that the healing process takes time as a weakened immune system is sensitive and it often feels like a maze to find what works and doesn't for each individual with an auto-immune condition. Recovery is definitely a journey and there are setbacks through the process. I now no longer have to take prescription medications, antacids, Evoxac pills to make saliva daily and no longer have a running fever, severe inflammation, fatigue or joint pain and my chronic stomach problems are improving as I heal my gut which reacts to many foods and supplements. Along with Dr. Blum's detox diet, supporting my adrenals, supplement and test recommendations, I implemented homeopathy and accupuncture as well as the NAET allergy elimination treatments. Many autoimmune sufferers have a histamine intolerance (this is helpful to know if you can't digest cultured/fermented foods or if you try the sugar free/gluten free diet and still can't fully make headway) and that is not covered in her book but I also follow that diet as well. There is so much to figure out individually it seems.
Basically I have taken the best information, research and techniches available to me and applied what works best for my healing process.
