Praise for The Autoimmune Fix
The hero who has contributed so much to the field of non-celiac gluten sensitivity and celiac disease now shines a light on a mysterious epidemic that is still in the shadows for many: autoimmune disease. Dr. OBryan very elegantly connects the dots between environmental triggers such as food and how they can affect the very immune system thats supposed to protect us. The Autoimmune Fix doesnt pull any punches. It unflinchingly identifies the foods that put you at risk for future autoimmune disease, foods you might love, foods you might think nothing about eating daily, but it also gives you actual detailed recipes and protocols that will have you eating and living your way to health. Dr. OBryan also talks about predictive autoimmunity, one of my favorite subjects. With autoimmunity, you have two choices: Wait until millions are suffering from full-blown autoimmune disorders, then put them on a lifetime of immune suppressants and biologics as well as years of suffering. Or, you can use predictive antibodies to detect autoimmunity in the early stages of the disease and then take steps to halt or even reverse the course of the incipient autoimmune disorder. The Autoimmune Fix wisely tells us to take the latter, more proactive choice, and to paraphrase what Dr. OBryan says in his book: Its not the doctors you see, the drugs you take, or the surgeries and therapies you undergo; what will impact your health, ultimately, are the choices you make in your lifeand getting this book is one of those choices.

I have admired and been informed by Dr. Tom OBryans perspective and approach to the topic of autoimmune disease for many years. In The Autoimmune Fix he brings his broad knowledge, with careful consideration of the scientific evidence, directly to those suffering from autoimmunity and those wishing to avoid that fate. He does not just ring the alarm bell, but provides proactive solutions to dealing with this epidemic sweeping through western industrialized society. When it comes to understanding this modern autoimmunity epidemic it doesnt get any better than this.

Dr. OBryans understanding of the physiopathology of autoimmune disease is second to none. His ability to translate complex research findings into practical, applicable recommendations that can be individualized to suit each patients case is admirable. Because of his ability to make complexity accessible, translational, and applicable, I recommend every nutrition practitioner to read Dr. OBryans book.

This is a fascinatingly detailed book about the outcome of autoimmunityits causes, mechanisms, and effects on the body. It tells you what to eat, and more importantly, what not to eat, if you want to remain healthy, keep doing your marathon running and not be subject to the diseases caused by our affluent Westernized lifestyle and junk foods, and to which most of us still fall prey. Read it and be enlightened! Warmly recommended for those worried about their bodiesand brains.

Dr. OBryans information is always cutting edge and he is a brilliant clinician and author. His new book The Autoimmune Fix should be read by anyone suffering from autoimmunity. The information contained in the book can be life changing.

During the past two decades, no single person has contributed more to the understanding and importance of recognizing the negative effects that gluten has played in human health than Dr. Tom OBryan. The hundreds of seminars, lectures, and conferences where Dr. OBryan has presented this breakthrough information to literally thousands of physicians are proven true by the results these physicians have experienced as they applied this knowledge to tens of thousands of their patients.
Dr. OBryans new book The Autoimmune Fix will prove to become an essential tool to help assist the growing number of individuals whose health and lives are being impacted by the exposure to gluten on their immune system and quality of life. It is with gratitude and pride that I wish to offer my encouragement for everyone to get a copy of Dr. OBryans book as well as to each physician to also get a personal copy of this book and one for their waiting room as well.

When new health information is identified, it can sometimes take a long time before doctors actually implement this information in their treatment protocols. I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Tom OBryan for more than a decade and admire his passion and commitment to pushing new health information to the forefront, supporting it with his own research and clinical experience, particularly to help other clinicians and patients identify possible triggers of autoimmune disease. The sooner these triggers are identified in a person, the higher the chance of arresting or reversing the disease development. Dr. OBryan does a splendid job of explaining this difficult topic. You will be grateful youve read this.
