One of the worst assumptions we can make, Marc Lappe suggests, is that human biology is perfectible. We'll read any magazine article that promises a new way to "strengthen" our immune systems, but in reality, strengthening it may be the worst thing we can do. (Not that the information in a typical magazine article would help you achieve that goal in the first place.) In fact, a weaker immune system may actually help protect a body against its greatest threat, which is the hyperexcitable immune system itself. Lappe's theories are based on decades of scientific research, but they ultimately support a basic tenet of Taoism: the more we muck around with nature, the more we encourage disease and disorder. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
This groundbreaking book brings together the latest discoveries about the immune system in both Eastern and Western medicine to show how a balanced system can help strengthen the body.
