Book Reviews of The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and AsthmaBook Review: Where does the inflammation come from? Summary: 3 StarsThis book is helpful but only goes so far: in terms of finding the root cause of these problems it only goes as far back as "Inflammation". But something has to cause the inflammation in the first place.
Many of the conditions listed are autoimmune disorders (such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and others). This is when the immune system attacks organs or other body tissue which affects how it functions. There is a theory of how this happens called "molecular mimicry" described in Dangerous Grains by Dr James Braly. Basically, if you eat food that you are intolerant to, immune system antibodies will be created to attack that food. But those same antibodies will also attack anything that looks similar to that food, such as other body tissues.
Whenever antibodies are are at work, there will be inflammation.
It would make sense for readers to cut out all their intolerances if they want to reduce inflammation. In the UK companies like York Laboratories ([...]) can test for 113 common foods, and I imagine there must be companies in the US who can offer a similar service.
I think the advice on anti-inflammatory herbs is useful though.
