    <![CDATA[From the foreword by Dr. Douglas Kerr, Director, Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis Center &lt;/font&gt;<p><p><p><em>&quot;The Autoimmune Epidemic</em> by Donna Jackson Nakazawa is an astounding book....It is the kind of book that will rivet you and scare you. It will make you angry. It will amaze you with the courage of some of the people described in the book...<em>The Autoimmune Epidemic</em> is every bit as compelling as Upton Sinclair's <em>The Jungle</em>...It is also every bit as necessary as <em>An Inconvenient Truth....</em><p><p>You will leave this book with no reservations about the veracity of the conclusions: put simply, there is no doubt that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and increasing environmental exposures of toxins and chemicals is fueling this rise. The research is sound. The conclusions unassailable....<p><p>Reading <em>The Autoimmune Epidemic</em> is a necessary first step. Reading <em>The Autoimmune Epidemic</em> is a life-altering event. It needs to be.&quot;<p><p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]>
