    About this ebook

    The Secrets of the Immune System Revealed

    This book is a summary of ‘The Beautiful Cure: Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Defences’, by Daniel M. Davis.

    Our immune system is spread throughout the body and involves many types of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues. It can distinguish our own tissues from foreign tissues and help us defend against invasions from harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It can also recognize dead, faulty, and cancerous cells and clears them from our body.

    In The Beautiful Cure, Professor Davis chronicles the major discoveries on how our immune system works and how these discoveries lead to a revolution in beating cancer, arthritis, and many other diseases. He details how stress, diet, sleep, age, exercise, and our state of mind affect the immune system and how scientists harness and unleash the power of the immune system to develop new medicines and therapies to combat cancer.

    Read this book to discover how scientists harness the power of your body’s natural defenses to beat cancer, arthritis, and other diseases.
