Viral Immunity

Part One looks at viruses, immunity and evolution and includes a review of the key viral agents and an in-depth look at immunity and viral disease. Part Two is a 10-step programme to viral immunity. It deals with the immune enhancing lifestyle, anti-oxidants and oxidative therapies, enzymes, the renewal of cells through detoxification, natural immune enhancers, natural antiviral alternatives, Chinese medicine and maintaining the hormonal balance. Homeopathic remedies and nutraceuticals are also covered in this section.

The book concludes with six appendices, a glossary, copious notes, a bibliography and an index. Viral Immunity is an extensive and well-researched handbook that provides the very latest information for maintaining a healthy immune system against viral infections. I highly recommend it.


A phenominal and impressive work   November 20, 2002

Viral Immunity goes far beyond a well researched and informative book, it is a seminal piece of work that brings critical new insights to one of the most important topics of our times. Dr. Williams combines the rare talents of taking a complex subject like viruses and viral conditions and making it understandable to the lay person while at the same time the quality of his writing skills make this book indispensable to the professional.
No flaws in this book, it is a contribution to mankind.


An Integrated Medicine Classic   November 20, 2002

This book, already called "an integrated medicine classic" and "a seminal work," is impeccable researched and beautifully written. It is about one of the most important health concerns of our times: how to develop unassailable immunity against viral infections. In Part I, Dr. Williams, explains how the immune system works and why viral diseases are re-emerging as major modern plagues. In ten practical and easily applied steps, in Part II, Dr. Williams, walks the reader through numerous ways to enhance your immunity and treat viral illnesses, from the common cold to herpes viruses, with natural medicines. VIRAL IMMUNITY is an important resource not just those already virally infected, but every family in America should own a copy to understand the nature of viral disease, how to empower their immune systems, and what to do in the case of infection. In this age of potential bioterrorism, who can afford not to be without such a source of timely and valuable information?


Perhaps our only hope to beat the coming plagues   October 21, 2002

Dr. James Williams is an extraordinary health care professional who has written a timely and comprehensive book, VIRAL IMMUNITY, on how to make your body "bulletproof" against the growing onslaught of viral infections. Dr. Williams skillfully weaves together his training in Oriental medicine from China, his 20 years of clinical work helping very sick patients, and the latest references from scientific journals to offer the reader a practical program for building the immune system to fight viral and other infections. American taxpayers support the ...annual budget at the National Institutes of Health, which includes a desperate search for magic bullet drugs against increasingly more virulent "bugs", or infections. We need to recognize that "non-specific host defenses" are built from a generally healthy lifestyle, coupled with specific techniques to support the immune system. As infections have risen back into the 3rd leading cause of death in America, VIRAL IMMUNITY gives us the answers to preventing and reversing the bewildering array of infections now found in American hospitals and clinics. With this book, the reader can use foods, vitamins, herbs, detoxification techniques and stress reduction to substantially improve the chances for recovering from any infection. It is not a short book, nor a simple process to change lifestyle habits; but it is our only hope to avoid the potential plagues of the future.
