Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine vol. 2: Protocols for Common Inflammatory Disorders (Inflammation Mastery & Functional Inflammology)

Refinements/edits made on 20 Apr 2016: This work is the culmination of several thousand research publications combined with Dr Vasquezs many years of clinical experience and teaching graduate/doctorate-level students and clinicians worldwide. With radiographs photos acronyms illustrations flowcharts and detailed-yet-simplifying explanations Dr Vasquez makes it easier than ever for clinicians to grasp important concepts in integrative care and functional medicine and then translate the basic science and molecular biology into treatment plans that can be explained and used in the real world of clinical practice.Contents of Volume 2 (also published as Chapter 5 in Inflammation Mastery 4th Ed): 1) Hypertension...727 2) Diabetes Mellitus...819 3) Migraine & Headaches...863 4) Fibromyalgia...901 5) Allergic Inflammation...984 6) Rheumatoid Arthritis...1019 7) Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis...1038 8) Systemic Lupus Erythematosus...1053 9) Scleroderma & Systemic Sclerosis...1074 10) Vasculitic Diseases...1094 11) Spondyloarthropathies & Reactive Arthritis...1108 12) Sjögren Disease...1119 13) Raynauds Disorder...1127 14) Clinical Notes on Behçets Disease Sarcoidosis Dermatomyositis & Polymyositis...1131.

The associated video tutorials and recorded live conference presentations further help students and clinicians get it via Dr Vasquezs effective teaching style which embraces complexity while always emphasizing clinical applicability and psychosocial context. The Inflammation Mastery & Functional Inflammology series of books and videos 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: 1) metabolic inflammation 2) allergic inflammation 3) autoimmune inflammation. This book includes access to video presentations which introduce the origin and components of the Functional Inflammology Protocol and FINDSEX(r) acronym. Post-publication updates to this information and important social and clinical contextualization are made available in videos and online repositories (access provided in the book) and the e-newsletter available from ICHNFM.ORG.
