Food and nutrients are the original medicine and the shoulders on which modern medicine stands. But in recent decades, the natural healing properties of food have been diminished in the wake of modern technical progress. With contributions from experts who work on the frontlines of disease management, Food and Nutrients in Disease Management brings food back into the clinical arena and helps physicians put food and nutrients back on the prescription pad. This authoritative reference equips clinicians with the information they need to fully utilize nutritional medicine by enabling them to adjust medication dosage with diet, diagnose and correct nutrient deficiencies, and counsel patients on food selection.
