Publisher Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – A medically proven, prescriptive, and intuitive program to heal symptoms of inflammation and autoimmune disorders to reclaim your health, and life
“The Autoimmune Solution is a medical breakthrough. Dr. Myers’ protocol is a proven way to heal and reverse any illness on the autoimmune spectrum. This book revolutionizes the way we understand and treat autoimmunity and I am thrilled to be able to recommend it to my patients.” — Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times Bestselling author and functional medicine expert
Over 90 percent of the population suffers from inflammation or an autoimmune disorder. Until now, conventional medicine has said there is no cure. Minor irritations like rashes and runny noses are ignored, while chronic and debilitating diseases like Crohn’s and rheumatoid arthritis are handled with a cocktail of toxic treatments that fail to address their root cause. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In The Autoimmune Solution, Dr. Amy Myers, a renowned leader in functional medicine, offers her medically proven approach to prevent and reverse a wide range of inflammatory-related symptoms and diseases, including allergies, obesity, asthma, cardiovascular disease, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, lupus, IBS, chronic headaches, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Offering a foundation to understand the root cause of autoimmune issues, a 30-day protocol filled with easy, gluten-free recipes and meal plans, and a solution for navigating the medical maze once and for all,
The Myers Way is built on four pillars:
Eliminating toxic foods, such as sugar and caffeine, and inflammatory foods, like dairy, gluten, and grains, which disrupt our digestive system.Introducing restorative ingredients and supplements, such as quality proteins, healthy fats, and probiotics, to repair the gut and microbiome.Identifying environmental toxins in everyday products like shampoo, soap, cosmetics, detergent, and other household products.Healing autoimmune-related infections while relieving the mental, emotional, and physical stress that exacerbate the immune system’s response to external toxins.
Through this program, Dr. Myers has proved how conventional treatment methods are failing millions suffering from autoimmune diseases and their debilitating symptoms. Whether you have long dealt with chronic illness or are simply ready to restart your wellness journey, The Autoimmune Solution provides a hopeful, clear, and attainable path towards improving your gut health, healing your body, and achieving optimal health.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Functional medicine physician Myers, who once suffered from Graves' disease, claims that conventional medicine has failed the more than 50 million Americans with autoimmune diseases, which include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. The "Myers Way" relies on the "four pillars": healing the gut (80% of the immune system, she notes, is located there); cutting out gluten; detoxifying the body; and dealing with infections (e.g., Epstein-Barr) and stress. Gluten, says Myers, causes inflammation and encourages leaky gut syndrome: avoid it, she advises, "like the plague" (in its hybridized state this is not the gluten, she explains, of our ancestors). Myers includes a 30-day meal plan for readers with autoimmune problems, replacing "inflammatory" ingredients like sugar, legumes, eggs, grains, and dairy with protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. In an appendix, she also includes a symptom tracker to help readers chart their progress. Though Myers's protocol requires discipline (particularly difficult for vegetarians), those with autoimmune issues should welcome this helpful and hopeful resource from a physician who walks her talk.

Scared to eat anything!!
She is a bit full on! “..and the bad news does not end there…” repeated several times! I’ve just been diagnosed with an auto immune disease and read half this book and cried my eyes out. It’s informative but it’s a bit much in one book. Massive dietary changes are required if you want to block ALL the toxins she talks about. And I do not know where to start so I am left feeling scared to eat anything I have in the house. I think this theory should be broken down into stages or mini books with small achievable steps for you to follow rather than going on a rampage about this food and that food. I am only at page 201 of 600 and already I have learnt I cannot now eat any form of gluten, or grains including rice and beans or white potatoes. So as far as complex carbs go that leaves butternut squash and sweet potato!! no eggs or dairy. Only grass-fed meat is allowed too! It is a book that is contrary to a low residue diet normally associated with Crohns (my auto imunne disease) so it is very confusing. I suppose if one is desperate with their health they will be prepared to make these massive changes.
