Book Matt Richtel. Elegant Defense. A Tale in Four Lives

Product description from producer

The immune system is the body's most important defense mechanism, a guardian that protects our health, maintains order and balance, heals wounds, and fights off enemies. Evolution has honed it over millennia, prompting adaptation to new threats. However, constant fatigue, stress, toxins, poor nutrition, and even excessive hygiene can turn the immune system from a defender into an enemy, and its powerful weaponry can be turned against the body. This has led to the practically epidemic proportions of various autoimmune diseases.

The author of the book "Natural Defense" offers readers a scientific detective story in which, together with the story's characters, they will find answers to many important questions about how the immune system works. Readers will not only understand how it operates but also learn to stand by its side in defending their own bodies.
