"Visceral."--Wall Street Journal "Illuminating."--Publishers Weekly
"Heroic."--Science The immune system holds the key to human health.
In The Beautiful Cure, leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis
describes how the scientific quest to understand how the immune
system works--and how it is affected by stress, sleep, age, and our
state of mind--is now unlocking a revolutionary new approach to
medicine and well-being. The body's ability to fight disease and
heal itself is one of the great mysteries and marvels of nature.
But in recent years, painstaking research has resulted in major
advances in our grasp of this breathtakingly beautiful inner world:
a vast and intricate network of specialist cells, regulatory
proteins, and dedicated genes that are continually protecting our
bodies. Far more powerful than any medicine ever invented, the
immune system plays a crucial role in our daily lives. We have
found ways to harness these natural defenses to create breakthrough
drugs and so-called immunotherapies that help us fight cancer,
diabetes, arthritis, and many age-related diseases, and we are
starting to understand whether activities such as mindfulness might
play a role in enhancing our physical resilience. Written by a
researcher at the forefront of this adventure, The Beautiful Cure
tells a dramatic story of scientific detective work and discovery,
of puzzles solved and mysteries that linger, of lives sacrificed
and saved. With expertise and eloquence, Davis introduces us to
this revelatory new understanding of the human body and what it
takes to be healthy.
