Dysbiosis in Human Disease: Pathogenic and Therapeutic Considerations in Diseases of Sustained Inflammation

This book will be updated/replaced in March 2015 by its Second Edition, which will be the study guide for the online CME course taught by Dr Vasquez. This book is a 3-part Learning System of Text, Slides, and Video: -- excerpted from Functional Inflammology Volume 1 (ISBN 0990620409) -- providing 92 pages of text, 138 presentation slides -- printed with Colorized Text and Diagrams -- providing more than 14 Hours of Video Access This is an excerpt -- focusing on dysbiosis, providing 92 pages of text, 138 presentation slides, and more than 11 hours of video -- from Functional Inflammology: Introduction to Clinical Nutrition, Functional Medicine, and Integrative Pain Management, the culmination of several thousand research publications combined with Dr Vasquez’s many years of clinical experience and teaching graduate-level students and doctorate-level clinicians worldwide. With the photos, diagrams, acronyms, illustrations and explanations, Dr Vasquez makes it easier than ever for clinicians to grasp important concepts and then apply the basic science research and molecular biology in to treatment plans that can be explained and applied in “the real world” of clinical practice with patients. The associated video tutorials and recorded live conference presentations further help students and clinicians “get it” via Dr Vasquez’s 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® acronym. Post-publication updates to this information and important social and clinical contextualization are contained in the accompanying videos—hyperlinks and passwords are provided via newsletters and as described within this book.
