A powerful new program for preventing the diseases of aging--based on cutting edge research
In recent stories, both the New York Times and CNN reported on the vital link between inflammation and the risk of heart disease, as well as diseases associated with aging including arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, frailty, osteoporosis, and some cancers. The Inflammation Cure is on the cutting edge of this research, exposing this connection and showing readers how to protect themselves.
In accessible language, Dr. William Meggs, an originator of the inflammation-related theory of neurogenic switching, explains the research and outlines a practical and complete program for controlling inflammation and returning to vibrant good health.
The Inflammation Cure:
- Explains up-to-the-minute thinking on the role inflammation plays in aging and health
- Reveals what causes inflammation and how you can tell if you have it
- Presents a comprehensive program to reduce inflammation and promote wellness
- Provides information on anti-inflammatory foods and supplements, medications, exercise, and more

Easy to understand, eye-opening, information that has helped me understand & move in the direction of remedying a chronic medical condition that I have developed.

I have developed a chronic inflammation and have been doing research. The title sounds good but it is totally inadequate. It's an easy read but adds very little true knowledge. There are several relationships to foods, spices, and herbs to relieve inflammation and very little is covered in this book. All of the author's credentials and nothing new. Lose weight, eat right,become a vegetarian, get your sleep, be happy is too simplistic. Still it's a good start for those at the very beginning of the road and those without any health knowledge or common sense.

I used info gained in this book to help me with my fibromyalgia pain. It has really worked, to my surprise. I am thankful to the author.

I know very well what inflammation is and how it adversely affects one's life. I've suffered with idiopathic inflammation for almost two years now. I've been tested for every disease, rheumatoid arthiritis, Lyme, erlichiosis, etc. The doctors cannot find the cause. I'm on Zyrtec 365 days a year to eliminate allergies. But even this does not lessen my joint inflammation at the young age of 43, thin, active and non-smoking.
I anxiously purchased this book to see what potential cures the author had to offer sufferers. None. Don't smoke, don't overeat, eliminition diets, exercise... all the usual stuff found in every health pamphlet. Nothing new here at all. I learned nothing my doctors hadn't already told me or I'd read online. It's a well-written book on an important subject. It just doesn't have answers as the title implies.

There is nothing new in this book and from an asthmatic point of view- it misses the most important aspect of reversing inflammation. There is very little mention about controlling hyperventilation or overbreathing. The first step would be to teach asthmatics the importance of nasal breathing so that the airways dont constrict in the first place. One method of which there are several excellent self books are is called the Buteyko method. Do a search on Amazon for Buteyko.
I can guarantee that this area will provide far reaching improvement to quality of life than this book. Other sites which provide a great account of are http://www.buteykointernational.com/ or http://www.buteyko.ie or http://www.asthmacare.ie/
