(From the introduction) Your body is truly amazing and has its very own build-in 'magic doctor' -- the immune system -- that helps keep you well and helps heal you when you get sick. This book will introduce you to the immune system and help you understand such things as fever, pus, vaccines, allergies, colds, auto-immune diseases, cancer, and AIDS -- and, most importantly, how to stay healthy.
