From the Back Cover

Functional Inflammology (.com): Definition and Scope: An evidence-based clinical approach to the prevention, management, comanagement, and cure of the majority of so-called "chronic diseases" that are increasingly in epidemic proportions worldwide; examples include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, migraine, neurodegeneration, fibromyalgia, and disorders of allergic and autoimmune inflammation. Safety, Efficacy, Ethics: Remarkable safety and efficacy; allows clinicians to meet all criteria of medical ethics: beneficence, nonmalfeasance, autonomy, informed consent, distributive justice. Refutations/Affirmations: The "chronic disease model" is refuted and replaced by the view that most so-called "chronic inflammatory diseases" are simply "sustained inflammatory responses" to factors which can be clinically corrected; these seven primary factors are effectively addressed by the Functional Inflammology Clinical Protocol.
