Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been replaced in 2016 by the new edition: Inflammation Mastery, 4th Edition ISBN: 0990620484; 978-0990620488 (1,180 pages in color, providing more than 20 hours of video access). Integrative Rheumatology & Inflammation Mastery translates important concepts and nutritional/biomedical science into easy and practical clinical applications for the prevention and treatment of disorders of sustained inflammation, which Dr Vasquez describes as "patterns of metabolic disturbance and inflammatory dysfunction" existing in three sequential and overlapping categories: metabolic, allergic, autoimmune. This updated and abbreviated version replaces Integrative Rheumatology (published in 2006 and 2007) and likewise focuses on autoimmune inflammation and related patterns of inflammation which manifest clinically as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, vasculitis, scleroderma and systemic sclerosis. The commonly encountered disorders fibromyalgia and Raynaud's phenomenon are also reviewed. This textbook Integrative Rheumatology & Inflammation Mastery introduces, reviews, substantiates the intellectual and empirical construct of a sufficiently/practically complete approach to the prevention and treatment disorders of *sustained inflammation*, previously termed "chronic inflammation."
