There is a biological force within the body that wants you to live to old age.

While conventionally this force is known in medicine as the immune system, Dr. Bob calls it: ""The Biological Soul.""

The Biological Soul isdesigned to protect you and allow you to live a healthy life. Thisforce is tangible, measurable, lives within the physical body and determines our age and wellbeing through life. It is physical and complex and, in many ways, spiritual. It is affected by life's stresses, by diets, and by overall health and though not immortal; it both shapes your life and your life shapes it.

IMMUNITY STRONGwalks readers through how the immune system works, what makes it implode or keeps it safe and what modern science reveals about how it connects to every part of the body to keep it alive-as the seat of our ""Biological Soul."" Written in Dr. Bob's trade-mark down-to earth style, the book explains that the normal immune system functions like a police department protecting the body from harm. While as a nation we have recently been focused on the effects of infections, the book reveals that it is important to note that disorders of immunity are at the root of most diseases that shorten or impact our lives. From chronic pain and fatigue syndromes, heart disease and clogged arteries and even the ability to recognize and destroy cancer, to multiple sclerosis, lupus, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders are all linked to one or another glitch in the immune system.

The purpose of this book is to provide significant information on the incredible complexity of the immune system and how the integration of spiritual, scientific, and emotional values can enhance health. It is Dr. Bob's hope that readers will find a new appreciation of the miracle that is the physical body and to understand the potential within our Biological Soul to promote longevity and overall happiness to life.

IMMUNITY STRONG: Boost Your Body's Natural Healing Power and Live to 100is a must-read for anyone wishing to nurture and enhance their health.

Legato, M.D., Ph.D., Emerita Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University Adjunct Professor, Johns Hopkins A delightfully written compilation of the latest concepts in immunology, with sound and thoughtful information about what is known and what is unknown.

In an easy-to-understand conversational format the book presents a model therapy to deal with stressful situations. - Subhash Dhawan, Ph.D., Retired Senior FDA Research & Regulatory Scientist Plato notwithstanding, others throughout history have wondered about the origins and power of spirituality, prayer, introspection, and morality, questioning their physiologic basis and how they shape human behavior. Plausible insights are now provided in IMMUNITY STRONG, a lively and believable work by 'Dr. Bob' Lahita. In just 219 easily-read pages, Dr. Bob elucidates for the inquisitive reader how the immune system responds to threats to the body's homeostasis, the possible role of biome communities to influence behavior, and the importance of sleep and stress modification for the maintenance of optimum immune function. Although written for a lay audience, this book may be enjoyed by medical professionals who can learn more effective ways to communicate otherwise complex scientific matters to their inquiring patients. The author's language is lucid, readily understandable, and unencumbered by distracting footnotes and parenthetical citations. This book is highly recommended for its explications, elucidations, and clarity. Besides, it is delightful to read. - Alan J. Lippman, M.D., Medical Oncology Specialist
