Autoimmune Survival Guide - Malvina Bartmanski - Bog

Autoimmune conditions are on the rise, with more and more people, young and old, experiencing the frustrating and debilitating symptoms of conditions that seem to be difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat with conventional medicine alone. Trauma and prolonged stress in particular disrupt healthy body-functioning and can trigger or exacerbate autoimmune and other similar conditions. Those affected by chronic fatigue syndrome, Hashimoto's, lupus, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions often feel helpless and disheartened by their fluctuating symptoms and the havoc they wreak on their lives, impacting their work and relationships. Malvina approaches autoimmunity and other trauma-driven conditions holistically to look for their roots in trauma and prolonged stress, and find ways to improve health and restore vitality. She draws on psychological, natural and ancient practices that have been shown to help those affected by autoimmune conditions to reduce their stress load, boost their body's defences and re-establish internal balance. Her book is packed with practical help and options to try, as well as a deep understanding of the frustations of those affected by autoimmune conditions.
