Summary:
"
How
discoveries about the
immune
system
are leading the way to a
revolution
in beating cancer and other diseases. The
immune
system
holds the key to human
health
. The scientific quest to understand
how
it works and
how
it is affected by stress, diet, sleep, age, exercise and our state of mind is now unlocking a revolutionary new approach to medicine and well-being. The
body
's ability to fight disease and heal itself is one of the great mysteries and marvels of nature, but within the last few years painstaking research has resulted in major advances in our understanding of the
immune
system
,
revealing
an inner world of breathtaking sophistication, complexity and beauty. Far more powerful than any medicine ever invented, it also plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Already we have found ways to harness these
natural
defences
to create break-through drugs and therapies that can beat cancer, diabetes, arthritis and many age-related diseases, and we are starting to understand
how
activities such as mindfulness might play a role in enhancing our physical resilience. A dramatic story of detective work and discovery, of puzzles solved and of the mysteries that remain, of lives sacrificed and saved, introducing the reader to this revelatory new understanding of the human
body
and what it takes to be healthy. Daniel Davis is a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester"--Provided by publisher.
