Publisher's summary

Why do some of us get sick with greater frequency than others? What makes us more susceptible to illness? Are we doomed to get sick when our coworkers and family members do? Is there a secret to staying healthy?

Joel Fuhrman, M.D., a leading expert and board-certified medical specialist in prevention and reversing disease, offers a comprehensive guide to superior health.

Based on the latest scientific research, Super Immunity shows us how we can become almost totally resistant to colds, influenza, and other infections.

The evidence is overwhelming: we can supercharge our immune system to protect our bodies against disease - everything from the common cold to cancer. Nutritional science has made phenomenal strides and discoveries in recent years, and when this new research is applied it enables us to seize control of our health like never before. Dr. Fuhrman explains this new science, providing everything you need to know to put this knowledge into action in your kitchen and in your life.

What we eat has everything to do with our health, and, unfortunately, too many of us are living with a severely depleted immune function. Our dietary choices are making us sicker, shortening our lives, and costing us billions of dollars in doctor visits, hospital stays, and prescription medications. But Dr. Fuhrman doesn’t believe more medical care is the answer. Rather, he explains the solution is to change the way we eat. The standard American diet is nutrient deficient. We are eating too many highly processed foods, foods with added sweeteners, and animal fats and protein. At the same time, we are not eating enough fruits, beans, seeds, and vegetables, which leaves us lacking in hundreds of the most important immune-building compounds. By changing our diets and combining foods that contain powerful immune-strengthening capabilities, we can prevent most common modern diseases.

Combining the latest data from clinical tests, nutritional research, and results from thousands of patients, Dr. Fuhrman proves that super immunity exists and is well within reach for those who choose it. We all have the ability to live healthier, stronger, and longer than ever before. Isn’t it time you discovered super immunity?

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Dr. Fuhrman Rocks!!

Absolutely top notch - I love this book...all of it. And I go over chapter 5 every few days to make sure I didn't miss anything. If anyone needs knowledge on strengthening their immunity to viruses, bacteria, cancer - this is the book to get. I think following this book could be life changing.

Great book, but...

The voice actor had no idea how to pronounce a LOT of words. He should have looked them up or asked someone at the very least.

Great book

Where does Super Immunity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Super Immunity?

It's information.

What does Ned Sparrow bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He was not a great narrator of this book, stumbles on complex words.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Somewhat.

Any additional comments?

The price of this book is far less the value of it's information. It is like taking a college level nutrition course.

Excellent Information For Everyone

Where does Super Immunity rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

My ranking is 5 stars, but 2 stars goes to the reader. Disappointed by the reader.

What did you like best about this story?

The detailed information & clear explanations

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He greatly distracted from this excellent book. He lacked the passion of the author & had gross mispronunciations of hundreds of essential words.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but difficult to absorb with one reading/listening.

Any additional comments?

The reader/narrator diminished from easy understanding of many critical explanations by his mispronunciations. I was listening & learning from a medical science background.

Take it with a grain of salt

This book has many insights into the correlation between the standard American diet and the rise in cancer and other diseases. It makes the assertion that keeping to a super food diet will eliminate disease from your life and lengthen your days which is a pretty hefty promise but only supported by anecdotal testimony and observations of other country or historical groups that have followed a similar diet (not the super food plan).. I found the repeated message of "people get sick because they don't eat this diet" repetitive and lacking authority by more careful data collection for this specific plan.

I did find the pdf for precise charts and recipes which other reviewers said was not included.

After reading the entire book, I do think that this book is advocating a vegan diet. Animal protein including eggs and dairy, is discouraged (the author's food pyramid places it in the tiniest, sparsest area). There are historic and present world populations of people enjoying a dairy rich diet that are very healthy and disease free.

I hope that people who are suffering from dread diseases and those with conditions not able to be treated will find this diet helpful as was indicated in the book. For practical application for the majority of people, I think incorporation of these foods on a daily basis is very important. But I find that I prefer following the Weight Watchers plan as a much better way to find foods best for maintaining a healthy life while enjoying foods that make it a pleasure to live on the planet while we're here.

The narration is distractedly poor. I commend the narrator with the ability to pronounce the highly technical words that are prevalent in this book. I think that the author should read his own work to be able to provide a smooth-sounding and natural flow of thought that will allow the reader to better process (sorry) the facts presented.

Great book and information

Finally a book that provides an easy explanation and easy to follow guidelines with recipes. Follow this book with Brian food by Dr. Neal Bernard and then Whole by Collin Campbell Phd. Truly life changing, I cannot thank you enough.

Great book!

If you could sum up Super Immunity in three words, what would they be?

This book provides you with excellent information on how to change your health. I also love the narrator, who did a great job. I listened to another book by Joel Fuhrman (Eat to Live), which he narrates it personally and his narration was not good. I also liked the automatic access to the PDF for Super Immunity. I recommend this book.
