". . . a levelheaded approach, weaving the latest research on various diseases into a broad picture."
--Library Journal

Inflammation is a natural part of our immune system, helping to protect us from serious infection and heal injuries. But inflammation processes can and do malfunction. Just as inflammation destroys germs, uncontrolled inflammation can ravage our bodies. Heart disease, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and many types of cancer are linked to inflammation, but the relationships have been little understood. And ways to prevent or cure these medical problems have been totally unknown. Until now.

In a clear, easy-to-understand tone, William Meggs, M.D., and Carol Svec help you guard against the life-threatening dangers of severe or long-term inflammation. This valuable guide gives you crucial information on:

• The inflammation connection and its impact on your health and aging
• What triggers inflammation
• The link between inflammation and fatigue, obesity, depression, and insomnia
• A lifestyle, diet, and medication program that lowers your risk of inflammation and promotes wellness
• And much more

A more complete understanding of inflammation ushers in an era of great possibilities--a revolutionary era when treating diseases such as asthma and diabetes will be akin to treating the common cold. Today, you can take the first step toward controlling your inflammation risk and assuring life-long health by discovering the power of The Inflammation Cure.
