The Purpose of This Site
A few years ago, chronic inflammatory diseases were defined largely by arthritis and other " itis" diseases. Over the past several years, medicine has started to recognize the fundamental role of inflammation in nearly every disease process. Researchers and physicians have been redefining heart disease, Alzheimer's, and even diabetes and obesity as inflammatory disorders. Much of this new view of chronic inflammation in degenerative diseases has come from research showing that people with inflammatory diseases have elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation. Relatively minor inflammatory disorders, such as injuries or allergies, can set the stage for more serious, chronic inflammatory diseases, and many inflammatory disorders actually develop as clusters -- hence, the inflammation syndrome. This site introduces you to the relationships between diet, inflammation, and disease.
About the Book
The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Skin Problems, Allergies and Asthma (March 2003 publication) describes the dietary imbalances and nutrient deficiencies that set the stage for chronic inflammatory diseases. Such diets typically contain inflammation-promoting dietary oils and fats and large amounts of sugars and refined carbohydrates. The book's Anti-Inflammation Syndrome diet plan recommends a wholesome anti-inflammatory diet emphasizing fish, chicken, vegetables, and olive oil. The book also recommends specific types of supplements that studies have found to have anti-inflammatory properties.
