Publisher's summary

Why do some of us get sick with greater frequency than others? What makes us more susceptible to illness? Are we doomed to get sick when our coworkers and family members do? Is there a secret to staying healthy?

Joel Fuhrman, M.D., a leading expert and board-certified medical specialist in prevention and reversing disease, offers a comprehensive guide to superior health.

Based on the latest scientific research, Super Immunity shows us how we can become almost totally resistant to colds, influenza, and other infections.

The evidence is overwhelming: we can supercharge our immune system to protect our bodies against disease - everything from the common cold to cancer. Nutritional science has made phenomenal strides and discoveries in recent years, and when this new research is applied it enables us to seize control of our health like never before. Dr. Fuhrman explains this new science, providing everything you need to know to put this knowledge into action in your kitchen and in your life.

What we eat has everything to do with our health, and, unfortunately, too many of us are living with a severely depleted immune function. Our dietary choices are making us sicker, shortening our lives, and costing us billions of dollars in doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription medications. But Dr. Fuhrman doesn’t believe more medical care is the answer. Rather, he explains the solution is to change the way we eat. The standard American diet is nutrient deficient. We are eating too many highly processed foods, foods with added sweeteners, and animal fats and protein. At the same time, we are not eating enough fruits, beans, seeds, and vegetables, which leaves us lacking in hundreds of the most important immune-building compounds. By changing our diets and combining foods that contain powerful immune-strengthening capabilities, we can prevent most common modern diseases.

Combining the latest data from clinical tests, nutritional research, and results from thousands of patients, Dr. Fuhrman proves that super immunity exists and is well within reach for those who choose it. We all have the ability to live healthier, stronger, and longer than ever before. Isn’t it time you discovered super immunity?

Good Info

This will stay in my library and I will reference it regularly. Thank you Joel Fuhrman

Real listener here.

The book is solid and practical. Within one hour of starting this book I was already applying the knowledge provided. Very important book if you want to protect your health.

Good Info, Knowledgeable Doctor

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is worth reading but I think for a larger overview Eat for Life, by the same author is better. It's actually worth reading both.
I expected more detailed information about the process of increasing ones immunity and how long it would take in different scenarios to overcome a weak immune system.
The narrator put me off a bit because he does not read smoothly and some sentences don't make sense because he stumbles and does not put the emphasis in the proper place.
I've read and studied a lot about nutrition and this book is one of the better ones. Its grounded on information from real studies, unlike the bloodtype diet book that is not based on any science and other books like it (ie, the zone, pritkin, metabolic typing, etc.)

What other book might you compare Super Immunity to and why?

Read

Would you be willing to try another one of Ned Sparrow???s performances?

No. He has a nice voice but stumbles a lot and does not read smoothly.
What were they thinking when they let this book be published with this idiot reading.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Job Opening: We're looking for a narrator that can read.

Any additional comments?

It's still tolerable to listen to even if some of the sentences don't make proper sense and even though some words are very akwardly pronounced.

this is great information for all

this information was so good I now want the book as it has all the good recipes in it.

Muy interesante y educativo

Muy buena información alimentaria y sabrosas recetas para quien quiere comer sano. Explica los tipos de alimentos adecuadamente. Y lo mejor es que lo puedo leer (escuchar) mientras viajo.

Truly Super Immunity

Wonderful education and advise from Dr. Fuhrman for immunity health. Highly recommended. Saved my life

Informative and interesting

I enjoyed the program and learned more than I expected. The author does a good job in explaining health benefits and risks. I'm glad he included a few weeks of recipes in the end. Looking forward to trying them out.

Eye Opening!!!

What did you like best about this story?

I found this book to be very helpful; it has been helping me to stay healthy.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator was slightly boring, there was this thing about his voice that made me want to sleep.lol

Awakening

I always knew that eating good was important but didn't know it was that important. So glad I stumbled upon this audio book. Will recommend it and adjust my diet and eat healthier.

Intriguing!

There's lots of science in this book to back up the inspiring message Dr. Fuhrman shares: that you CAN feel better, go through life with minimal medications, and have the rich, fulfilling experience of freedom we all want.
