A Brilliant and Invaluable Model of Health and Immunity

Bock takes a broad minded and inclusive approach to health and wellbeing. He is refreshingly questioning and quizzical of the narrow minded and overly interventionist nature of orthodox (allopathic) medicine with its singular focus on the 'sickness' end of the health/wellness spectrum. He is thought provoking yet easy to understand for health professionals and the lay person/patient alike. He offers a simple and easily understood model of immunity and the multiple steps leading to chronic ill health. He goes on to discuss practical and wide ranging steps to achieving optimal health and immunity drawing on a broad array of allopathic, complementary and alternative health modalities. His approach is both practical and sensible. Whilst providing a comprehensive and invaluable compendium of health care he stimulates further research and reading, above all advocating retaining responsibility for your own health and wellbeing. Readers of The Road to Immunity will be left immeasurably better informed and empowered to achieve or regain better health. I'd advocate making this book a compulsory element of the educational curriculum.

A "Must Read"

This well written summary will benefit anyone. Whether you have a debilitating illness or are in seemingly good health, Road to Immunity will draw attention to the importance of a "whole body" approach to living. Chapter 3 titled "Immunology 101" is an excellent summary of the immune system written in layman's terms. This is an outstanding read and should be a part of any library.

Immunity

This is a great book for anyone interested in improving their health or in obtaining ideas for difficult to solve health problems including allergies, food and environmental sensitivities, etc. It has a great deal of details which many other books lack and has chapters on food & nutrition, stress, and alternative therapies with many ideas for boosting your own immunity to common and rare health problems. This is a well written book that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in the subject.
