This is a good compiliation of current information on improving immunity - no revelations, but good basic advice and practical suggestions. I ignored the 4 week plan, but gained some helpful knowledge. The book does have one error. From page 221: "Asian pears are a cross between an apple and a pear." That is not true. Asian pears may look kind of like apples, but they are pears, from the species Pyrus pyrifolia. (Regular pears are Pyrus communis.)

This book is fairly simple and common sense in its approach-- basic guidelines about eating right, stress reduction, exercise, etc. In a sense, it doesn't include anything earth-shattering, but it helps to have it all in an easy-to-read, no-nonsense form. I have found the book to be helpful, enjoyable, and somewhat informative as well.
