This book will change the way you think about autoimmune diseases! In it you will find answers to many questions, as well as an innovative approach to their diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately, the statistics are relentless: if you invite ten friends to dinner, one of them will have an autoimmune disease. The book's author, Anita Kass, an immunologist, will talk about how our defense system works, the hormones involved in the immune response, and what happens when something goes wrong. Anita has made every effort to make this complex topic understandable to a wide range of readers. Even the chapters on the history of immunology and various physiological reactions are very easy to read. The author uses terms, but always explains their meaning. “Our body is a peaceful land, and foreign substances are potential enemies, so we have a military army of the best soldiers to protect us. The immune system is the world’s most sophisticated killing machine,” writes Anita.
