I have found it ladies and gents...the UP to DATE scientific research
that backs up everything I've known to be true and most of everything
you all have written over the time I have been on this board. Not that
any of us thought we were wrong! LOL

The Autoimmune Epidemic: Bodies Gone Haywire in a World Out of Balance
and the Cutting Edge Science that promises hope.

On the inner and back Jacket of the book:
One in 12 Americans will Develop an Autoimmune disorder. In this
ground breaking book. author Donna Jackson Nakazawa examines the
growing epidemic of autoimmune diseases, which already derail the
lives of 23.5 million Americans-and one in every nine women-to show
what can be done to stop these debilitating illnesses.

The number of people in the United States afflicted with an autoimmune
disease is double that of people diagnosed with cancer. Nearly every
one of us knows someone whose life has been altered forever by
mysterious, chronic illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, lupus,
Crohn's disease, type 1 diabetes, or rheumatoid arthritis. In these
diseases the body literally turns on itself in an act of friendly
fire, mistakenly attacking healthy cells as it works to protect the
body from viruses, bacteria, and other invaders. The first of its
kind, this book sheds much-needed light on an escalating medical
crisis that, if uncontrolled, threatens to explode into a national
epidemic.

In The Autoimmune Epidemic, Donna Jackson Nakazawa sounds a call to
arms, taking us deep inside todays most prestigious scientific labs to
show how heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, viruses, and chemicals in
the foods we consume may be causing out immune systems to go haywire
and autoimmune disease rates to rise frighteningly high.

Vivid real-life stories, including Nakazawa's own, illustrate the
devastating toll that this hidden epidemic takes. Heartbreaking
personal accounts are supported by groundbreaking research from twenty
of today's top scientists and studies from leading universities and
hospitals, including Harvard University, Johns Hopkins Medical
Institutions, and The National Institutes of Health.

The Autoimmune Epidemic is a comprehensive study of nearly one hundred
of these often deadly diseases, from possible causes to potential
cutting-edge cures for those who are already suffering. Nakazawa
describes the revolutionary preventions, treatments, and cures
emerging from the top research labs around the world and provides
practical advice on how you can protect your immune system and reduce
your chance of having an autoimmune disease in the future.

I'm thinking about setting up a board in yahoo to discuss this book
specifically. I'll be back with details if anyone is interested.
I would do it on my own board but there's already a lot going on there.

Chapter One: The Red Flag Disease
Chapter 2: The Invisible Invaders: The Driving Force Behind This Epidemic
Chapter 3:Dirty Little Secrets: Cluster Epidemics from Buffalo to Texas
Chapter 4: A Potent Package: Viruses, Vaccines, and Heavy Metals
Chapter 5: The Autoimmune Disease Detectives: Era of the Mavericks
Chapter 6: Shielding Your Immune System: Rethinking Food, Stress, and
Everyday Chemicals

Please share this with EVERYONE you know. This is THE resource for
anyone with health issues, suffering with no answers, and feeling
really bad day in and day out.

We're moving forward, finally!
