Editorial Review: 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.

- book has missed a fundamental point, 2006-04-10
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/

Eat your way to better health!!!, 2006-03-19
This book, along with a few others, have allowed me to virtually eliminate any prior risks from osteoarthritis,asthma,age associated weight gain and depression. I also believe it will reduce any environmental risks of cancer...in my opinion.

Inflammation, yes -- Cure, no, 2005-08-03
This is a clear and well-written discourse on what inflammation is, and the role it plays in a multitude of problems;it is convincing and sincere. It does not, however, offer much in the way of guidelines for how to address the problem, beyond offering some basic "good health" prinicples. In all fairness, there may be no clear "cure" for the condition -- but if so, the title is a tad misleading.

Disappointing Generalisation, 2005-04-06
This is not a good book. People who are seeking real insight into their problems will be let down. We generally know that inflammation is involved in diseases. What is needed is a broader framework for making sense out the multiple inflammation phenomena which we observe in disease states. This book fails to bring together the massive amount of scientific and medical data which is currnetly available about toxicology infection and oncology. The title of the book offered such a possible explanation. It failed to deliver. There is no cure in this book.A much better book is "Oxygen; the molecule that made the world" by Nick Lane which is a thought provoking book full of useful insights. The "inflammation cure" makes Outragious Generalisations without any reference.(readers are asked to make the connections themselves to references at the back of the book). In many instances dietary recomendations clash with knowledgable opinion and strike me as misleading and wrong. Another book with much better credenitials is called "The Cholesterol Myths" by Uffe Ravnskov.
