Product Description
The first proven immune-boosting program for anyone who wants to stay well--or get well--safely and naturally. Do you feel like you're locked in a battle with every cold, flu, sinus infection, or stomach virus that comes your way? Does it take two or three antibiotics to treat an infection that used to be wiped out with ease? Do you have young children who are plagued with runny noses, chronic ear infections, or sore throats?If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then Immunotics is for you.Immunotics is the term Dr. Robert Rountree has coined to describe the powerful, heretofore unknown nutraceuticals that dramatically increase immune function and effectively battle bacteria and viruses. Immunotics is far more than just echinacea and vitamin C: It is the 21st-century answer to--not a replacement for--antibiotics. Immunotics doesn't just treat an existing infection, it prevents illness in the first place, without side effects or antibiotic resistance, by supercharging the immune system--nature's most potent weapon against disease.From the "general program" for everybody to advice for the aging immune system; from the stressed-out soul to the fellow who succumbs to every respiratory infection; from kiddie sniffles to those at risk for cancer, Immunotics has the prescription. |
Amazon.com Review
A firm belief in their readers' intelligence guides coauthors Robert Rountree, M.D. (coauthor of Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child and A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies) and Carol Colman (coauthor of Stop Depression Now and The Antioxidant Miracle) through this clearly written guide, beginning with an eye-opening chapter on antibiotics and their consequences. As a result of their frequent misuse, due to doctors misprescribing them and patients not taking their full prescriptions, tougher bacteria are on the rise and weakened immune systems are increasingly common. While Rountree (the primary voice here) advocates the use of antibiotics and applauds their lifesaving abilities, he warns of their dark side. Rountree urges patients to take proactive steps toward better health by combining proper nutrition, vitamin supplements, a positive attitude, and an "immune friendly environment." He calls this powerful combination immunotics and builds a strong case for its implementation. Following a quick refresher on the human immune system, Rountree neatly describes recommended vitamins and herbs--from aloe vera and antioxidants to uva ursi and Western larch. His basic immunotics program outlines vitamin dose ranges for everyday use and answers questions regarding brands and drug interaction. He offers specialized programs for the elderly, parents with school-age children, those who deal with chronic asthma or gastrointestinal problems, and individuals at risk for cancer or heart disease. The chapters on the immunotic benefits of optimism and a safe environment never dig too deep; rather, they offer a smattering of intelligent reminders and a few helpful resources (including Dr. Martin Seligman's book, Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life). --Liane Thomas |

Informative and Effective by Samantha R. Gabriele (NJ)  5 Stars
February 24, 2004
I bought this book on a whim several years ago when I started working as a high school teacher and was concerned about my increased risk of getting sick. This book is well written, easy to understand and very informative. Rountree describes each supplement and its effects in detail and also has specific supplement regimines to treat certain ailments. I can say that I have not had a full-blown cold in the last three years. Although the supplements can be expensive, what he recommends truly work! Buy this book and you will not be disappointed and if you follow his regimine you will rarely be sick.

Excellent advice that works 5 Stars
November 05, 2001
I bought the hard cover edition of this book about a year ago because I am very prone to colds and sinus infections. I read it but did not follow the advice because you seemed to need to buy so much stuff. This past spring and summer (2001), I got an endless and particularly exhausting sinus infection. I was miserable and I remembered the book and went shopping for supplements. I warn you the advice is not cheap to follow, however, the results for me were excellent. It took a few weeks to see results but now I feel better than I have in years--greater physical and mental energy. I caught a chest cold (complete with green mucus) in September and threw it off very quickly (within a week) without antibiotics--a first for me. I would not part with my copy of the book. Olive leaf extract, NAC, coenzyme Q10, alkylglycerol etc.--I take a lot of supplements every day now but they work. I have a huge shelf full of health books and this is undoubtedly the best one that I own. I literally live by it now.

Real solutions!!! 5 Stars
May 22, 2001
I HIGHLY recommend this book! I had a sinus infection that would not clear up after three rounds of antibiotics-the most severe bout I've ever had, including losing my sense of smell. I followed the doc's reommendations for sinus infections, and within one week, my sense of smell began to return, and the infection finally cleared! Dr. Rountree is a genius! I am very grateful I decided to get this book-it is now my number one health reference. And NAC is a supplement that I will always keep on my shelf. Much gratitude to Dr. Rountree.

Solid MD information on being/staying healthy 5 Stars
February 21, 2001
The fact that Robert Rountree is an MD who has practiced for quite some time makes me reassured regarding his suggestions. It's also quite relevant not just for general immune function but specific illness issues one might have at present. The first section is a fascinating explanation of how our immune system functions in our body. I have been on his general adult suggested dose of CoEnzyme Q and Cholostrum for almost two months -- I believe I am starting to have energy at the end of the work day! This is a minor miracle as I started to feel tired about 17 years ago ...no thyroid issue, no diabetes ever id'd with repeated tests. I credit these changes to the CoQ and colostrum. This is truly worth the time and expense for the information!
