pleased to offer this fascinating new book by Dr. Anthony Godfrey.

Deep Immunity will help you understand your body's immune response. Your immune system is the indispensable key to good health and a fruitful life. With its subtle psychological and spiritual facets, it's more than just physical resistance to illness. Deep Immunity gives us a crucial appreciation of immunity's inner workings and what we need in order to achieve wellness.

Topics covered in Deep Immunity include:

• An introduction to the concept of immunity
• The physiological components and function of the immune system
• The causes of a compromised immune system
• Restoring balance to the immune system
• Rebuilding and maintaining an effective immune system
• The unique contributions made by herbal remedies to immune enhancement
• Clinical experience of immune related conditions
• Practical advice on immunity from a naturopath

"Appreciation of the miraculous working of your immune system can only serve to empower you. It will give you both a greater understanding of the mechanisms of immunity and a greater ability to utilize, strengthen, balance, and direct it. Modern science is only beginning to understand how the immune system works. The detail and complexity seem endless. As one branch of science probes deeper and deeper into smaller and smaller fragments of the mechanism, another branch looks outward.… In order to discover the cause of a person's ill-health, a cause which may originate at the physical level, but usually has emotional, mental, and spiritual components as well, we must come to know the whole person."

A renowned practitioner of naturopathic medicine, Dr. Anthony Godfrey enjoys a distinguished and wide-ranging background. Having begun his career as a veterinarian surgeon, he holds a doctorate in human anatomy from U.C.L.A., followed by advanced research in biology at Harvard. Presently he operates a highly-regarded family practice in Toronto, as well as teaching at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Deep Immunity reflects Dr. Godfrey's lifelong quest to understand human health and the healing power of nature - all with a view to finding more effective solutions to the experience of human suffering.
