Description
If you have an auto-immune condition, or some collection of symptoms which medical doctors cannot explain, you owe it to yourself to read The Missing "First Domino" in Autoimmune Conditions. It will likely help you to understand your symptoms better than anything you have read or heard to date. Like a great detective story, this eBook reveals the elegant physiological plot beneath the otherwise-mysterious surface. It is a masterful piece of work - thorough and meticulously researched and footnoted - but also clear and concise.
This eBook was written for lay-people who seek to better understand what caused their conditions to manifest and, just as important, what to do about it. But quite likely, it will also of great value to professionals seeking to better understand their patients' symptoms.
Dr. Parker's eBook is based on the work of Dr. Peter Levine. Dr. Levine holds a doctoral degree in Medical Biophysics and has been researching stress for over 35 years. During this time, he has contributed to a variety of scientific and popular publications. According to Dr. Levine, "What a great majority, if not all, 'syndromal' clients have in common is a functional disorder in how the autonomic nervous system is responding to stress." A syndrome, as defined by Dr. Levine, is a collection of symptoms that occur with some regularity. In The Missing "First Domino", Dr. Parker focuses on the development of autoimmune (AI) syndromes, though much of what she says here is also relevant for those with other syndromes - especially those listed above).
According to Dr. Noel Rose, professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at John Hopkins University and pioneer in autoimmune research, "autoimmune disease is now the third major category of illness in the United States and many industrialized countries" (just slightly behind heart disease and cancer). And yet, little is known about what causes the immune system to go awry in this manner, to attack its host. Medical professionals who treat those with autoimmune syndromes might know what the patient's body is doing; they just do not understand why.
The Missing "First Domino" explores the very real possibility that a malfunctioning autonomic nervous system (ANS) may be an important, but often overlooked, contributing factor in the development of autoimmune disease. In some - if not most - cases, a malfunctioning ANS may prove to be the "first domino" in the development of these conditions.
You owe it to yourself to at least entertain this possibility; you have little to lose and everything to gain. Even if, in your case, a malfunctioning ANS is not the “first dominoâ€, it may prove to be a missing piece of the puzzle of your illness. And, quite likely, it will prove to be THE missing piece.
