An Owner’s Manual to Better Health
As a huge fan of Dr D and Siim Land for the past 2 years, this book did not disappoint. As an RN, BSN for over 30 years, I have seen medicine evolve from a time where health care providers listened to their patients to one where tests and pill pushing have become standard practice for a diagnosis and treatment . This book is a blueprint for those looking to take control of their own health and the care that goes with it. In an age of fear-mongering pandemic dialogue, this book will help you navigate your own health by providing information as to how to deal with quick arising pandemics and standard diseases which unfortunately have become an acceptable outcome to the choices we make. With over 180 plus pages of references, this book is backed by facts which will make it your go to reference for years to come.

Good content; poor writing. Watch YouTube instead.
The underlying philosophy and content are very good, but the writing is very poor. It purports to be written for a general audience, but contains a lot of technical jargon. It appears to be a "cut and paste" job without a cohesive thread. I would suggest watching Dr. DiNi... on You Tube. So much better.

Well Researched & Easy To Read
What I really love about this book is that the authors took all the science and explained it in terms we normal people can understand. There's definitely science and biology in the book, but it's explained in terms I could easily follow and with over 2000 references provided, I can jump to those references and dig into the data even more if I choose. The book begins with a little history lesson from the past, things learned, and then moves to current times and the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is a comprehensive guide on becoming a healthy human being and optimizing your biology to fight against and protect itself in a world filled with viruses and bacteria.Simply put... this is a manual to be a healthy human being and fortify your immune system to protect your health.

Random cut/paste make this almost incoherent
I had high hopes for this book, especially since it was hyped on Dr. Paul Saladino’s podcast. Unfortunately, what the authors have compiled appears to be multitudes of cut/pasted sentences/paragraphs from a significant amount of sources (studies, other books) compiled back to back in what end up being almost incomprehensible compound paragraphs. At times, a subsequent sentence isn’t even consistent with prior sentence. I wouldn’t spend you money on this one.....which is so disappointing for me to have to say...

An Actionable and Data-Driven Plan to Boost Your Immune System
I really appreciated the amount of research and data provided in this book. Combined with actual steps one can take starting today, the authors lay out the main issues impacting our immune systems and the proven and often simple fixes. Working in the medical field, it's refreshing to not just have numbers and studies shoved down your throat without an explanation of how to take action and precisely what that action looks like. The book may look intimidating, but it's actually quite easy to read and 180 pages are dedicated to references. I got through it in a weekend. Immunity is such a hot topic right now, for obvious reasons, and this book provides you with a comprehensive analysis of how to truly optimize your immune system and live a healthy life.

Valuable information & practical ways to apply it ! A MUST READ!!
This book should be read by everyone during this time with COVID-19 and anyone concerned with cancer / extending quality of life!! This book is perfectly written- an easy read but also gives in depth research support.Mastering immunity could prevent so many health implications and this book shows you exactly how to do so. It explores different health issues from cancer to thyroid to covid and many other diseases. It also gives thorough supplement guidelines, help to sleep better, help with exercise recovery, and many other practical ways to build a strong immune system.Gift this book to anyone and everyone that you love!

Poorly written and nothing new for most biohackers
I realise I am going against the grain here given the amount of 5 star reviews, but honestly I was really disappointed with this book. It looks like it was self-published, which I realise is no mean feat, but the authors could have at least paid for someone to proof-read it. It is full of spelling mistakes, but also sentences that just don't make sense and haven't been written well at all. I know no-one likes the grammar police but if I'm spending £25+ on a book I expect it to be well-written. It felt like the authors just wanted to make a few buck by writing a book about immunity at a time when they knew people's anxiety around the pandemic might compel them to buy a book on the topic, and that they wanted to publish it super fast so that no-one else could get there before them.In terms of the actual content. If you are familiar with the "biohacking"/health optimisation world, there might not be much that is new for you in this book. I guess I was hoping for really specific, actionable recommendations that I could take to specifically help my immune system (because I have chronic health issues caused by immune over-reaction). But what I got was the same general biohacking recommendations I could find anywhere - eat whole foods, try intermittent fasting, use cold therapy etc etc.Overall, a disappointing read.

Good content, but a very dense and needed proof reading!
The content here is good, but it's very densely structured and the style lurches between medical journal-ese, textbook and lazy simile in an attempt to make the content more accessible. The text could have done with being proof read and edited; there are many typos, errors of grammar and spelling (or the incorrect use of a word) probably due to one of the authors not having English as a main language. It has the feeling of being rushed and hurried to market, which given its content is understandable, but detracts from the book overall.

A Biohacking treat
As compelling a read, as Ben Greenfield’s ‘Boundless’A must have book for your Biohacking collection

An excellent tome for overall good health
A very thorough and comprehensive view of how to augment and fortify the immune system; lots of clear clinical advice, irrespective of current virus concerns, which provide an authoritative explanation of how the body works and reacts to different stimulae, together with the benefits of appropriate supplementation.

Invaluable
This book contains a vast amount of invaluable information, which is now, more than ever - important to take notice of. It does get a tad technical in parts, but provides summaries and action points which I found very beneficial.I do, however agree with one the other reviewers on their point about it needing additional proof read; but I am willing to forgive this aspect, as would much rather have access to the content sooner rather than later.Overall a superb book and well worth the asking price, given the content!
