About this Item

Nowadays, more people than ever suffer from some variety of inflammatory disease, including asthma, allergies, arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. And the rest of us are probably subjecting ourselves to conditions that will lead us to develop one or more of these maladies. Inspired to action by his own sister's struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, Dr Floyd Chilton - a celebrated scientist with over thirty-five patents to his credit - has spent fifteen years developing the groundbreaking programme in this book. INFLAMMATION NATION offers the first all-natural diet solution to this growing health crisis. What can possibly account for the stunning increase in inflammatory diseases at precisely the time in medical history when our healthcare is better than it's ever been? As Dr Chilton clearly shows, it's our diet - too many foods with an excess of fatty acids. In INFLAMMATION NATION, readers will find a detailed dietary plan that can begin to remedy the conditions that lead to inflammatory disease in as little as seven to ten days. Dr Chilton presents a new food pyramid, inflammation index, and a two-week meal plan with recipes that are delicious, easy to follow, and that offer the added benefit of staying trim. Based on hard science, this programme offers nothing less than greater health and long life to everyone.

About this title

Synopsis

Protect yourself against our country's most alarming health crisis.

In Inflammation Nation, internationally renowned scientist Dr. Floyd H. Chilton exposes the root cause of a host of seemingly disparate diseases, such as arthritis, heart disease, obesity, eczema, lupus, Alzheimer's, and emphysema: unbridled inflammation. The average American diet (even when we're making what we think are healthy choices) is inflaming our immune systems. But with Dr. Chilton's revolutionary, all-natural dietary program, you can learn how to choose foods that will help prevent, treat, and reverse the effects of this secret epidemic in as few as seven days.

The Chilton Program includes:
-Easy-to-follow meal plans developed in collaboration with a world-class medical school
-A new food pyramid that charts which foods you should enjoy or avoid
-The Inflammation Index, which gives you the inflammatory potential of more than 250 foods

Backed by twenty years of research, and by an unprecedented six clinical trials, Dr. Chilton's anti-inflammatory regimen is a must-have for the nearly 100 million Americans diagnosed with an inflammatory disorder and for the rest of us who must protect ourselves from this growing health crisis.
