The Autoimmune Answer: Using Functional Medicine to address the cause, eliminate symptoms, and optimize quality of life

Your labs came back normal again.

You have been to four doctors. You have been told you are fine, or that you are stressed, or that you are too concerned with your health. And you are still exhausted, still in a flare, still living in a body that nobody seems able to explain to you.

You are not imagining it. On average, people with autoimmune disease see four to five physicians across three years before anyone names what is wrong.

The Autoimmune Answer is written for that gap.

Each chapter follows one real person through Dr. John Bartemus's office, from the symptoms they arrived with, to the findings sitting in medical records nobody had read properly, to the testing that finally explained it, to the plan that changed it. Not theory. Charts.

Conditions covered in full chapters:

• Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease • Crohn's disease • Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity • Psoriasis • Parkinson's disease • PANDAS and PANS in children • Traumatic brain injury induced autoimmunity • The gut-brain axis, microbiome health, depression and anxiety

You will also learn how to tell a food allergy from a food sensitivity from a food intolerance, and which of them you are actually living with. Which diet is right for your situation, and which is not. Ketogenic, paleo, gluten free, low FODMAP: the book explains how to tell.

Every chapter ends with reader action steps. Every chapter contains detailed diagrams. This is a book to work through, not a book to admire.

With a foreword by Dr. Alex Vasquez. Now used as an accredited continuing education course for registered dietitians and nurses.

And you will learn why you cannot Dr. Google your way to health when you have an autoimmune disease, and what to do instead.

Readers have described it as the first thing that gave them hope where they couldn't find any.
