Praise for IMMUNITY STRONG: Boost Your Natural Healing Power and Live to 100 by Robert G. "DR. BOB" Lahita, M.D., Ph.D.“IMMUNITY STRONG is written with simplicity about viruses, vaccines, immunity, and spirituality. It’s a magic prescription to living beyond 100 — and lots less expensive than a visit to your MD’s office.” — Cindy Adams, New York Post Columnist and Host of WABC Radio’s Cindy Adams Show“In clear, easily accessible language, Dr. Bob has taken us on a wonderfully comprehensive journey through the biology he has spent his life investigating. A must read for all patients, but particularly those who struggle with autoimmune maladies for a substantial part of their lives.” — Marianne J. Legato, M.D., Ph.D., Emerita Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University Adjunct Professor, Johns Hopkins“A delightfully written compilation of the latest concepts in immunology, with sound and thoughtful information about what is known and what is unknown. It should be read by anyone wishing to know the foundation for many of the recommendations for our better health, which is so critical nowadays.“ — Richard Bucala, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology, Yale University“Dr. Bob’s analogies make IMMUNITY STRONG very approachable, understandable, and fun to read!

Beamon, Author of Misdiagnosed: The Search for Dr. House“IMMUNITY STRONG presents a phenomenal and exemplary description on boosting our immunity, linking the immune response to realistic social and behavioral psychology and how to overcome the stressful environment that many of us are facing almost on a daily basis. In an easy-to-understand conversational format the book presents a model therapy to deal with stressful situations.” — Subhash Dhawan, Ph.D., Retired Senior FDA Research & Regulatory Scientist"Plato notwithstanding, others throughout history have wondered about the origins and power of spirituality, prayer, introspection, and morality, questioning their physiologic basis and how they shape human behavior. Plausible insights are now provided in IMMUNITY STRONG, a lively and believable work by ‘Dr. Bob’ Lahita. In just 219 easily-read pages, Dr. Bob elucidates for the inquisitive reader how the immune system responds to threats to the body’s homeostasis, the possible role of biome communities to influence behavior, and the importance of sleep and stress modification for the maintenance of optimum immune function. Although written for a lay audience, this book may be enjoyed by medical professionals who can learn more effective ways to communicate otherwise complex scientific matters to their inquiring patients. The author’s language is lucid, readily understandable, and unencumbered by distracting footnotes and parenthetical citations. This book is highly recommended for its explications, elucidations, and clarity. Besides, it is delightful to read." — Alan J. Lippman, M.D., Medical Oncology Specialist
