Product Description
"Challem’s new book hits a home run — with the latest research on what to eat and take to defeat our real number-one cause of health problems — inflammation. It’s a message of the utmost importance."
–Jean Carper
New York Times bestselling author of Stop Aging Now! and Your Miracle Brain, columnist for USA Weekend magazine What is the Inflammation Syndrome? It’s the cumulative effect of low-grade inflammation–including the aches and pains we all experience–that grows into chronic debilitating disease. This book, the first major book on the syndrome, reveals the powerful role that inflammation plays in a wide variety of common health conditions–from simple aches and pains to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, Syndrome X, arthritis, asthma, and athletic injuries. Drawing on cutting-edge research conducted around the world, Jack Challem provides a revolutionary approach to healing inflammation-related problems through an easy-to-follow nutrition and supplement program. He also shares the latest information on C-reactive protein, one of the marker s o f serio us inflammation. This book, quite simply, shows you how to feel better for life. "Many of our most debilitating diseases can be traced to an inflammatory cause. The program Jack Challem outlines in The Inflammation Syndrome is a great first step in ridding your body of this deadly problem."
–Fred Pescatore, M.D., author of Thin for Good, The Allergy and Asthma Cure, and The Hamptons Diet "In a scientifically accurate and easy-to-understand manner, Jack Challem lays out the basic nutrition plan for good health and weight loss."
–Loren Cordain, Ph.D., author of The Paleo Diet |

very good starting point for researching health problems 
This is a great resource for those who have a myriad of health problems and whose doctors have no idea why. Upon reading this book a number of lightbulbs turned on for me. It was very instrumental in my realizing that food intolerances were responsible for most of my health problems. I gleaned two invaluable referrals from this book: www.enterolab.com and www.thorne.com. The fact that you are reading my review means you should visit these sites (a) for the only reliable gluten intolerance test on the planet (b) the only place you want to purchase supplements. Ignore this advice for now if you want; but my guess is eventually you'll follow it.
I resist giving the book 5 stars because I don't buy it all -- not entirely. The book lacks substantiation in places, where the author slips into "pet theory" territory, which really bothers me.
Given that caveat, I have to say his "pet theories" have born out for me to a large degree, and my own pet belief is that inflammation is going to become so "the rage" that even doctors won't be able to ignore it any longer. After hearing my lymphoma-thrashed friend tell me that his own dietician had prescribed junk food to keep him from losing weight and thereby "wreaking further havoc" on his body (sigh) , I have to say it's way past time.

For Anyone Serious about Eating Right and Feeling Great! 
I have read several books on health and diet and this is one of the best practical books I have found.
Jack Challem is an exceptional nutritionist who provides common sense advice for reducing inflammation, eating right and feeling great. It explains in wonderful detail where aches and pains come from and how to minimize them. It also addresses diseases such as cancer and how to minimize your risk of getting them by eating right and taking the right suppliments.
The Inflammation Syndrome reinforced much of the knowledge about healthy eating right that I already knew. It also provided me with new insights that lead a more pain free life.
Challem makes excellent food recommendation such as eating more salmon and halibut. He also encourages increasing intake of Vitamins C & E, Omega 3 fatty acids, green tea and flax seed. He discusses the benefits of Green Tea, Olive oil, and more.
Overall a great book for anyone serious about eating right and feeling great!

The information in this book helped me to breathe again!
I've had asthma all my life - luckily it has been fairly well-controlled throughout adulthood. That is until I was unknowingly exposed to mold in my home. Even though the mold was remediated, I continued to experience severe, persistent asthma for over four months. I was referred to a pulmonologist and put on high doses of various types of asthma medication. I had a minimal amount of relief with these medications and still had to use a nebulizer two or three times a day.
I realized this was no way to live my life and started looking for other solutions. Thank goodness I came across Mr. Challem's book - after only one month of following his recommendations of the basic supplements (vitamin C, E, and fish oil) - I have found relief! I have not had to use my nebulizer in a week. I want to ease into the nutritional program because it will be a big change for me, but I can only imagine how great I'm going to feel after once it is implemented.
Take back control of your life, instead of letting your body do it for you!

helpful
I bought this book because I have fibromyalgia and the only thing that showed up abnormal on my tests was "inflammation". This book helped me understand what was causing my pain and the supplements to take to reduce the inflamation. I have used the suggestions in this book and Meggs' book to reduce my pain.

GOOD BOOK
The book itself is very informative and easy to understand. It goes a long way in trying to educate a population that health begins at the cellular level and with some knowledge, health is still within our reach. Poor health can be turned around.
The delivery time was quick....I appreciate that.
