The Tao of Immunology: A Revolutionary New Understanding of Our Body's Defenses


Dr. Medical books The Tao of Immunology. Marc Lappé crafts a radical new theory of immunity that stresses the concept of balance, and is remarkable for accommodating both Eastern and Western thought. Embracing the sense of harmony found in the "Tao Te Ching", he asserts that the best possible immune system is neither hyper-aggressive nor hyper-vigilant, since that type of system's over-reactions can ravage the healthy organs and cells along with the weak. He laments that scientists' Western bias of seeing the immune system as solely destroyer and attacker has led to the prevailing Maginot Line mentality that prevents us from dealing more knowledgeably and effectively with a wide range of devastating disease. The most desirable type of immune system is not highly reactive, but moderate and balanced Medical books .

Medical Book The Tao of Immunology



Marc Lappé crafts a radical new theory of immunity that stresses the concept of balance, and is remarkable for accommodating both Eastern and Western thought. Embracing the sense of harmony found in the "Tao Te Ching", he asserts that the best possible immune system is neither hyper-aggressive nor hyper-vigilant, since that type of system's over-reactions can ravage the healthy organs and cells along with the weak. He laments that scientists' Western bias of seeing the immune system as solely destroyer and attacker has led to the prevailing Maginot Line mentality that prevents us from dealing more knowledgeably and effectively with a wide range of devastating disease. The most desirable type of immune system is not highly reactive, but moderate and balanced.Cancer, heart disease, AIDS, arthritis, diabetes, Epstein-Barr, asthma, hepatitis, lupus, meningitis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatic fever, allergies, and reactions to implants and organ transplants are just some of the life-threatening and debilitating diseases and reactions covered in this encompassing new work. This ground-breaking volume opens our minds and sets us on the path toward a healthier understanding of the body's inner forces and the difference that can mean life or death.
One of the worst assumptions we can make, Marc Lappe suggests, is that human biology is perfectible. We'll read any magazine article that promises a new way to "strengthen" our immune systems, but in reality, strengthening it may be the worst thing we can do. (Not that the information in a typical magazine article would help you achieve that goal in the first place.) In fact, a weaker immune system may actually help protect a body against its greatest threat, which is the hyperexcitable immune system itself. Lappe's theories are based on decades of scientific research, but they ultimately support a basic tenet of Taoism: the more we muck around with nature, the more we encourage disease and disorder.

Medical Book Three Generations, No Imbeciles



Few lines from Supreme Court opinions are as memorable as this declaration by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in the landmark 1927 case Buck v. Bell. The ruling allowed states to forcibly sterilize residents in order to prevent "feebleminded and socially inadequate" people from having children. It is the only time the Supreme Court endorsed surgery as a tool of government policy. Paul Lombardo’s startling narrative exposes the Buck case’s fraudulent roots.

In 1924 Carrie Buck—involuntarily institutionalized by the State of Virginia after she was raped and impregnated—challenged the state’s plan to sterilize her. Having already judged her mother and daughter mentally deficient, Virginia wanted to make Buck the first person sterilized under a new law designed to prevent hereditarily "defective" people from reproducing. Lombardo’s more than twenty-five years of research and his own interview with Buck before she died demonstrate conclusively that she was destined to lose the case before it had even begun. Neither Carrie Buck nor her mother and daughter were the "imbeciles" condemned in the Holmes opinion. Her lawyer—a founder of the institution where she was held—never challenged Virginia’s arguments and called no witnesses on Buck’s behalf. And judges who heard her case, from state courts up to the U.S. Supreme Court, sympathized with the eugenics movement. Virginia had Carrie Buck sterilized shortly after the 1927 decision.

Though Buck set the stage for more than sixty thousand involuntary sterilizations in the United States and was cited at the Nuremberg trials in defense of Nazi sterilization experiments, it has never been overturned. Three Generations, No Imbeciles tracks the notorious case through its history, revealing that it remains a potent symbol of government control of reproduction and a troubling precedent for the human genome era.
