In ‘Autoimmune

the underlying science, exploring how genetic, environmental, and lifestyle
factors converge to trigger autoimmune responses. Through clear explanations
and in-depth analysis, Shirazi equips readers with the knowledge needed to
understand how these diseases develop, progress, and can be managed.
‘Autoimmune
Diseases Explained’ breaks down the triggering mechanisms behind these diseases
in an accessible, enlightening format. Shirazi demystifies complex medical
concepts, empowering readers to recognize symptoms early, seek appropriate
medical care, and explore the role of nutrition, stress management, and
environmental toxins in disease prevention and management.
Ideal for
students, healthcare professionals, and those personally affected by autoimmune
conditions, this book serves as both a foundational educational resource and a
practical guide to taking proactive steps in autoimmune health.
