Quotes:

This is a book of knowledge, guiding creation of a scientifically grounded plan for healing and prevention! There are powerful protective armies within us, but trauma can confuse them. Because trauma changes us on medical and psychological levels, it can trick our protective armies into turning against us. The results are painful and life-draining, but it does not have to be this way! In The Autoimmune Cure, Dr. Gottfried shares the personal and professional knowledge that changes lives. — Paul Conti, MD, author of Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic 

The Autoimmune Cure provides answers and practical solutions to the often-misunderstood complexities of autoimmune diseases. With this book, we finally have the key to deciphering the untold influence of past trauma on our immune system, making it a must-have resource for anyone seeking lasting relief.  — Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Nutrivore
