Product Description:
As the title indicates, this volume is about assisting you in the prevention, management and reversal of pain as a result of inflammatory conditions. It's one in a series of books that are condition-specific, quick and easy, including right-to-the-point information for you and your health-care provider. Its objective is to provide a greater understanding of known contributing factors that inhibit the body's natural repair process. This publication is not about conventional treatment - surgery or synthetic drugs to alleviate symptoms - it is about extinguishing the fire of inflammation from the inside out, providing time-tested tools that allow the body to build health by maximizing its own healing powers. Chronic pain and inflammation, as in fibromyalgia and arthritis for example, are known as paroxysmal conditions - the pain and inflammation come and go with flare-ups that can be debilitating. Obviously, the ideal solution is to find symptom-triggers and solutions; this book provides that, naturally. As many of my peers have echoed before me, education is what being a doctor is all about. This book is my educational contribution for overcoming disorders I have experienced and overcome personally, and those I've observed professionally. It's about controlling and reversing pain and inflammation through life-style, detoxification, and nutritional changes. It includes time-tested non-drug therapies and recipes for pain-free cooking and living.
