Do you wonder why you or your family members get sick all the time? Or do you have one of the many autoimmune conditions, such as thyroiditis, inflammatory arthritis, or food sensitivities? Dr. Susan Blum, an assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Preventative Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, will address these questions and will explain the workings of the immune system and what it needs to function at its best. She will examine the four main sources of immune problems and what you can do to fix them.
