Encyclopedic in scope, this four volume work describes the basic physiology and the chemical sensitivity of chronic degenerative diseases, examining how to diagnose them and how to reverse the dysfunction of chronic illness. Exploring core molecular functions and dysfunctions, it also explains previously misunderstood mechanisms of how chronic degenerative disease and hypersensitivity occur. Presenting the latest information on the ground regulation system, connective tissue matrix, immune and non immune functions, genetics, and autonomic nervous system, this resource offers the most sophisticated technology and treatment techniques available. Color figures and more than 500 references per chapter are included.
