This book is very informative on all conditions that start with inflammation. I have auto-immune disease and it has really helped me. Not only does he address why and how of the disease processes, Dr. Chilton details the steps to take to get better from inflammatory conditions, including a diet plan. I used this book as a study manual,checking it out at the library numerous times. I started his plan over a year ago, and since I still use the book for reference, I have bought my own copy. Medical/technical terms, interesting read.
