The Nurse Practitioners Guide To Autoimmune Medicine

This book is for every NP who wants to change the world. Not only changing your local community and the world of the patients seen in your clinic every day but the world as a whole. How does one NP change the world? By being part of a revolution. The epidemic that is autoimmune disease is changing the world. The 50 million Americans alone with autoimmune disease (AD) already need a revolution. Now. The people who will get ADs, need a revolution. The next generations need a revolution. The revolution? Reversing and preventing AD. Holistically treating the person with the disease (and those who will get them), rather than only putting a bandaid on a specific symptom. So many chronic diseases are now known to involve immune dysregulation as well. Osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, seizures, and even pain itself for example. Plus, the causes of AD tend to be the cause of all chronic disease. Reverse and prevent AD is reversing and preventing all disease. This will therefore also change the world that is the NP's own family. Parents, spouse, children, and grandchildren. Keeping your family as healthy as possible to allow you to more easily do your work as an NP. Every community needs practitioners that are experts in reversing and preventing AD. There are already plenty of people who are willing to prescribe medications with profound side effects (including cancer, life-threatening infections, and new ADs) for no more benefit than a short term control of a few symptoms. As more communities have this "expert" the revolution builds. Imagine reversing autoimmune disease. Imagine preventing 90% of Type 1 Diabetes, 50% of multiple sclerosis, and 82% of breast cancer (yes, cancer is an immune system issue as well).

The way autoimmune disease is viewed and treated is undergoing a major change as an estimated 50 million Americans (and growing) suffer from these conditions. For many patients, the key to true wellness is in holistic treatment, although they might not know how to begin their journey to total recovery. The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook, from Mickey Trescott and Angie Alt of Autoimmune-Paleo.com, is a comprehensive guide to living healthfully with autoimmune disease. While conventional medicine is limited to medication or even surgical fixes, Trescott and Alt introduce a complementary solution that focuses on seven key steps to recovery: inform, collaborate, nourish, rest, breathe, move, and connect. Each step demystifies the process to reclaim total mind and body health. With five autoimmune conditions between them, Trescott and Alt have achieved astounding results using the premises laid out in the book. The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook goes well beyond nutrition and provides the missing link so that you can get back to living a vibrant, healthy life.
