Customer Reviews

This book is a MUST READ for everyone!

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about how the body fights diseases, infections and other foreign matters that find thier way into our systems. Glasser paints an incredibly vivid mental image of lymphocytes, antigens, macrophages, white cells, etc. using layman's terms and with excellent practical examples. Medicines don't cure our bodies - our bodies cure themselves. The Body is the Hero is a brilliant explanation of how the body does it. I am going to recommend this book to everyone I know.
