Women And Autoimmune Disease: The Mysterious Ways Your Body Betrays Itself by Robert G. Lahita
Autoimmune diseases -- including chronic fatigue syndrome, vasculitis, juvenile diabetes, alopecia, Graves' disease, Sjögren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis -- are among the most devastating conditions afflicting women today and the most resistant to diagnosis and treatment. In all of them, the body's immune system begins to attack healthy and normally functioning cells. And one of the biggest puzzles is why 80% of autoimmune disease sufferers are women. In this groundbreaking book, world-class immunologist Dr. Robert Lahita offers a scientifically sound and sensitive work to help understand these perplexing and debilitating diseases.
