The Immune System Cure (1999)

The Immune System Cure

Optimize Your Immune System in 30 Days

What causes one person to catch a cold or flu and another to avoid it? Why does one person with HIV live without symptoms while another quickly develops full-blown AIDS? What allows someone to be incapacitated by allergies? Why do serious outbreaks of infectious diseases leave some individuals untouched? The answers lie within nature itself – our immune system.

The Immune System Cure provides simple techniques for supercharging your immune system through diet, stress reduction, and nutritional supplements. Adopt the recommended strategies and you will harness your body’s ability to do the job that nature intended: combat and prevent disease.

Nature eloquently designed the human body with the tools needed to prevent and fight most disease. It is only through neglect, abuse and overuse that we have altered the ability of the immune system to function optimally. This book is not about a magic cure: it is about treatments that boost and balance the immune system to give it the support it needs.

Inside you will discover:

the 10 super immune boosting nutrients
the foods that harm and the foods that heal
how to avoid the common cold or flu
how to avoid the side effects of chemotherapy
how to protect your children from disease
the benefits of avoiding antibiotics
common fats that can kill you
the top healing fats

And, you will also find specific advice on how to enhance your immune system to combat:

antibiotic-resistant bacteria
fibromyalgia
allergies
hepatitis C, HIV and herpes
tuberculosis » cancer
rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases
chronic fatigue syndrome
and much, much more

And finally, Lorna’s collection of immune-enhancing recipes will keep your disease-fighting systems in top form.

No More HRT: Treat the Cause (2002)

Healthy Fats for Life (2003)

For years we have been told that “fat” is bad for us. But the low fat and no fat diets designed to improve our health have instead created a society of overweight individuals, with skyrocketing rates of diabetes and heart disease. Recent scientific research has shown that healthy fats are essential for life. These essential fats improve immune and hormone functions, while playing a vital role in treating diabetes, arthritis, obesity, allergies, and heart disease.

Thousands of research studies have proven that evening primrose, flax seed, olive, borage, black currant, hemp, and fish oils are essential in preventing all forms of degenerative disease, including cancer.

Healthy Fats for Life presents this research and provides a simple plan for using essential fats to achieve optimum health for women, men, and children.

Learn to distinguish good fats from bad fats
Lose weight more effectively
Control blood sugar levels
Improve cancer treatment effects
Keep skin looking smooth and radiant
Combat depression
Solve children’s learning disorders and behaviour problems

Get a Grip on Arthritis and Other Inflammatory Disorders provides natural relief for pain, swelling and destruction that inflammation causes in the body.

Why is “natural relief” so important? Conventional pain and anti-inflammatory medications have serious side effects, including bleeding ulcers, digestive complaints and joint destruction. Within these pages, you will discover what combinations of foods, vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements will prevent further damage, treat your existing condition and heal damaged tissues—all while relieving the pain associated with inflammation. Discover Mother Nature’s potent painkillers and natural anti-inflammatories.
