Nutritional Medicine Textbook by Dr. Alan Gaby

Nutritional Medicine is the result of thirty years of research by reknowned authority on nutritional medicine, Dr. Alan R. Gaby

Nutritional Medicine is a textbook designed to teach healthcare practitioners how to use nutritional therapy as an alternative or adjunct to conventional medicine. Although the book is written for practitioners, it is also useful for educated members of the lay public who would like to be well informed regarding nutritional options for preventing and treating various health concerns. Nutritional Medicine discusses more than 400 different health conditions and disorders. It also contains 60 chapters on individual nutrients (i.e., vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other therapeutic agents) including biochemical effects, clinical indications, signs and symptoms of deficiency, adverse effects, drug interactions, nutrient interactions, and dosage and administration.

Chapters on fundamentals of nutritional medicine (including dietary fundamentals, food additives, reactive hypoglycemia, food allergy, "sub-laboratory" hypothyroidism, and candidiasis) are also included. With more than 900,000 words (about 11 times the size of an average-size book) and over 15,000 references to the scientific literature, Nutritional Medicine is a foundational cornerstone and should be on the desk of every healthcare practitioner.
