Review
An Inflammation Nation is a valuable resource that empowers the reader by using well-documented scientific studies to reveal the importance of inflammation and its influence on all aspects of our health. Dr. Pai brings an evidence-based, integrative medicine approach to the subject and writes in language that both the layman and the professional will understand. I particularly like his explanations of the various triggering mechanisms of inflammation - diet, pharmaceuticals, allergies, lifestyle and environmental factors. I highly recommend this book. -Andrew Weil, MD, author, Healthy Aging and Spontaneous Happiness
“The book “An Inflammation Nation” authored by Dr. Sunil Pai, MD; is a subject very close to my heart. Almost 40 years of my research and the work of various other groups around the world have been put together very elegantly by Dr. Pai in the form of monograph, which is very easy to understand. This book provides evidence not just in test tube or animals but also in humans that pro-inflammatory life style can lead to various chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurological ailments. Most drugs provided by pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to stop these diseases, when the solution lies in simple prevention. Anti-inflammatory life style can both prevent the onset of these diseases as well as slow down the progression of the chronic diseases. Dr. Pai provides evidence that various agents provided by Mother Nature are inexpensive, are very safe and can control dysregulated inflammation. This book by Dr. Pai does an excellent job in describing the role of inflammation and its link to various diseases. This will have a huge impact on our lives and thus highly recommended.” —Professor Bharat B.

From Kirkus Reviews
“Pai, a board-certified doctor in family and integrative medicine who has studied with Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra, offers this voluminous compendium of alternative health approaches. . . . in the case of chronic conditions, Western medicine often treats symptoms with a retinue of drugs and surgery while leaving underlying causal conditions untouched. “Conventional medical treatment has classified over two hundred different ‘itis’ conditions, with over a dozen different types of medical specializations that treat these individually and symptomatically,” Pai writes in describing standardized medical care. The “itis” ending in the terms for many ailments refers to inflammation, which cove
