Book Reviews of The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and Asthma

Book Review: Where does the inflammation come from?
Summary: 3 Stars

This 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.

Summary of The Inflammation Syndrome: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Arthritis, Diabetes, Allergies, and Asthma

"Challem's new book hits a home run - with the latest research on what to eat and take to defeat our real number-one cause of health problems - inflammation. It's a message of the utmost importance."
-Jean Carper
New York Times bestselling author of Stop Aging Now! and Your Miracle Brain, columnist for USA Weekend magazine

What is the Inflammation Syndrome? It's the cumulative effect of low-grade inflammation-including the aches and pains we all experience-that grows into chronic debilitating disease. This book, the first major book on the syndrome, reveals the powerful role that inflammation plays in a wide variety of common health conditions-from simple aches and pains to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, Syndrome X, arthritis, asthma, and athletic injuries. Drawing on cutting-edge research conducted around the world, Jack Challem provides a revolutionary approach to healing inflammation-related problems through an easy-to-follow nutrition and supplement program. He also shares the latest information on C-reactive protein, one of the marker s o f serio us inflammation. This book, quite simply, shows you how to feel better for life.

"Many of our most debilitating diseases can be traced to an inflammatory cause. The program Jack Challem outlines in The Inflammation Syndrome is a great first step in ridding your body of this deadly problem."
-Fred Pescatore, M.D., author of Thin for Good, The Allergy and Asthma Cure, and The Hamptons Diet

"In a scientifically accurate and easy-to-understand manner, Jack Challem lays out the basic nutrition plan for good health and weight loss."
-Loren Cordain, Ph.D., author of The Paleo Diet
