Textbook of Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine, vol. 2: Protocols for Common Inflammatory Disorders

by Alex Vasquez

Overview

Refinements/edits made on 20 Apr 2016: This work is the culmination of several thousand research publications combined with Dr Vasquez's many years of clinical experience and teaching graduate/doctorate-level students and clinicians worldwide. With radiographs, photos, acronyms, illustrations, flowcharts, and detailed-yet-simplifying explanations, Dr Vasquez makes it easier than ever for clinicians to grasp important concepts in integrative care and functional medicine and then translate the basic science and molecular biology into treatment plans that can be explained and used in "the real world" of clinical practice.

This excerpt / second volume is written for clinicians already conversant in
Chapter 1) Patient assessment, laboratory interpretation, risk management, hypothyroidism, hemochromatosis,
Chapter 2) Wellness, Personalized Lifestyle Medicine,
Chapter 3) Integrative pain management using nutrition, botanicals, and manipulative medicine,
Chapter 4) Functional Inflammology Protocol: Diet, Polydysbiosis/Infections, Viral infections, Nutritional immunomodulation, Mitochondrial dysfunction, mTOR, ERS-UPR, Orthoendocrinology, Xenobiotic detoxification.

The associated video tutorials and recorded live conference presentations further help students and clinicians "get it" via Dr Vasquez's effective teaching style which embraces complexity while always emphasizing clinical applicability and psychosocial context. The Inflammation Mastery & Functional Inflammology series of books and videos translates important concepts and nutritional/biomedical science into easy and practical clinical applications for the prevention and treatment of disorders of sustained inflammation, which Dr Vasquez describes as "patterns of metabolic disturbance and inflammatory dysfunction" existing in three sequential and overlapping categories: 1) metabolic inflammation, 2) allergic inflammation, 3) autoimmune inflammation. This book includes access to video presentations which introduce the origin and components of the Functional Inflammology Protocol and FINDSEX(r) acronym. Post-publication updates to this information and important social and clinical contextualization are made available in videos and online repositories (access provided in the book), and the e-newsletter available from ICHNFM.ORG.

Editorial Reviews

- "Alex is the master of painful conditions and metabolic treatments." Public comment by an award-winning neurosurgeon and functional medicine practitioner, 2016 - "I love this course and your approach to the material. I am learning so much. Each article you assigned was strategically chosen and offered support and insight. I was pleasantly surprised by the exam and thought it was very fair. ... Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!" Doctorate Student under Dr Vasquez, 2016 - "I appreciate the lecture yesterday and I am truly fascinated by your topic and your vast knowledge. ... I for one feel having people like you on our faculty can only strengthen the credibility of our school. ... I appreciate your education, knowledge and clearly you are the authority in your field. I have listened to all your lectures on YouTube - fantastic!" University Faculty and Doctorate Student under Dr Vasquez, 2016 - "I want to personally thank you for your expertise and books on...everything. I'm in my last year at SCNM (taking rheumatology right now) and I truly admire your research and ability to compile valuable information. Thank you." Naturopathic Medical Student, 2014 - "Doc, I really want to thank you for sharing some of the most important-relevant Facebook posts. If we had more doctors, leaders and informed human beings (like yourself) our world would be a better place. Thank you for your commitment to truth and doing the right thing." Doctorate Clinician, 2016 - "I love your No BS approach to everything you do. I loved it in 2013 when you hosted the most informative conference I have ever had the opportunity to attend (because I could afford it at the time thank you). I wish there were more scientists/authors/academics/doctors like you! You are a breath of fresh air among the smell of BS and one can almost "smell" your intolerance to corruption. Please don't ever stop speaking your mind, disseminating information, and rebutting the "experts" because sadly, you're a rare breed." Doctorate Clinician, 2016
