About this audiobook

Life-Coherent Systems Immunology offers an organism-centered way to understand chronic immune-mediated disease. Rather than seeing immunity mainly as a war against non-self, it reframes immunity as the living process by which the organism conserves boundary-coherence while remaining open to the world. Autoimmunity, allergy, autoinflammation, fibrosis, chronic inflammation, and post-infectious illness are understood not only as diagnostic categories, but as possible signs of maladaptive organism–niche phase-locking. Defence, inflammation, repair, memory, or conservation may become stuck, preventing return to ordinary living. Drawing on autopoiesis, 5E cognition, salutogenesis, allostasis, immunometabolism, mitochondria, tissue niches, exposure ecology, public health, and civilization, this book offers a deeper clinical grammar: name the disease, but also understand the locked living process — and the conditions that allow life to move again.
