Auto-immune disorders like Graves Disease, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Lupus, Coeliac and even Long-Covid, affect an estimated 300 million people worldwide. These disorders can be frustrating as they are difficult to diagnose, painful and often invisible. Now, with this simple yet powerful 5-step plan devised by Dr Akil Palanisamy, readers can learn to treat, tame and potentially reverse painful autoimmune conditions. In The T.I.G.E.R. Protocol, Dr Akil Palanisamy uses his training in Western medicine and complementary therapies to create an integrative approach to treat autoimmune diseases. Addressing five key elements - Toxins, Infections, Gut health, Eating right and Rest and balance - this approach has proved remarkably effective for both patients with full-blown disease and those who had been told they were on the path to autoimmunity. The foundation of this approach is the use of specific healing foods. Diet can be a powerful tool, but autoimmune diets that are typically recommended are often restrictive. Dr Akil's protocol expands the diet to be less draconian while maintaining clinical efficacy, potentially reversing the effects of years of suffering from disease and taking a person off the path to suffering in years to come. The protocol is split into easy-to-follow Phase 1 and Phase 2 diets, allowing you to eliminate the necessary food sensitivities in the short term and then reintroduce foods to achieve a more diverse and balanced diet. It also includes Dr Akil's top 10 healing foods for the microbiome - including mushrooms, artichokes and dark chocolate.
