Maximum Healing

Maximum Healing presents a complete guide to improving the immune system by blending modern medical practices with natural healing methods. Based on his CAIM (Complementary-Alternative-Integrative-Medicine) approach, author H. Robert Silverstein, MD, outlines a program designed to restore health and prevent future illnesses. A clear description of the immune system is provided and the elements of good health are explained, including healing foods, minerals, antioxidants, herbs, physical activity, and the avoidance of unrealistic thinking. The book offers a thirty-day program divided into four parts: diet, exercise, outlook on life, and creating balance in daily life. Concluding with sixty restorative recipes and a useful Appendix, this book is an indispensible reference for anyone who wants to boost their immune system and prevent disease, and for those suffering from immune-related disorders including allergies, asthma, high blood pressure or cholesterol, chronic fatigue, cancer, skin disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
